Welcome to the monthly Stampin’ Up!® Demonstrator Fun Folds Blog Hop, September 2026 edition. Autumn has arrived, the weather is  transitioning and pumpkins are everywhere. Even right here.

Question, are you a carver or a painter?  Do you carve or paint pumpkins for October decor? Historically, I’ve carved. However, the colors in today’s featured project may change that.

I received this sweet thank you card from my friend Peggy Toldy of Stamp Sisters Ink. I love the colors featured in the Painted Patch Suite Collection from Stampin’ Up! Her card has it all, texture, stenciling, die-cuts and more. All these elements come together for a beautiful Center Step Card.

Notice the background behind “Thank You”. This collection of products comes with a set of Decorative Masks for stenciling. Pool Party classic ink was used with one of them to create the soft image. You can purchase them alone, in the bundle or the entire suite.  The choice is yours. Click the links below for more information on these colorful products.
