Welcome to the monthly Stampin’ Up!® Demonstrator Fun Folds Blog Hop, April 2026 edition. We’re so glad you’re here! When you’re done here, don’t forget to visit the rest of our talented paper artists. You’ll find a list at the end of this post.

My project features the Book Binding Fold. This fold is about as simple as a fun fold can be. And, the magnificent Designer Series Paper (DSP) makes this project one of the easiest cards you’ll ever do.

I used products from the May-August 2026 catalog including some sweet little In Color Butterflies and items from the Moonlit Flora Suite by Stampin’ Up!®. These items aren’t available just yet but the wait is almost over. You’ll be able to order on May 5, 2026. 

Fern & Flora Bundle #167745	Moonlit Flora 12×12 DSP #167737
2026-2028 In Color Butterflies #167656	3/8″ Golden Glow Ribbon #167548

What I Love: The rich greens and luscious foliage that create the patterns of this beautiful paper. And, of course, those sweet little butterflies.
