SIDE STEP FUN FOLD CARD SERIES
CARDS 1 & 2
Today is my Stamp It Demonstrator’s Group Blog Hop . We’re all really excited to unveil our projects, and announce a new contest giveaway. To continue on your journey through our projects, simply use the BLOG HOPPERS links below.
I’m kicking off a new series featuring the side step fun fold with this video class. I’ll share how to create this fold using the July 2022 “Sending Good Thoughts” Paper Pumpkin Kit. It’s a nautical theme, but my Christmas in July Blog hop ideas are at the end of the video and instructions for each card will be coming over the next week here on my blog. So I guess I am sharing both Christmas AND July projects lol.
On the video class I’ll share:
- The July Paper Pumpkin Kit contents
- How to make side step fun fold and alternates to the kit
- Many more side step card ideas in the series. I have lots of samples from the new Holiday Catalog that you are going to love.
In addition to the video I have written instructions, measurements, a template and photos from several angles of both cards.

This is the first of my Christmas in July Blog hop projects that I’ve shared at the end of the video. I created this side step card with the Stampin Up Saleabration Tree Lot Dies. Instructions for this card will be posted tomorrow.
These are a few more of the Christmas in July Blog Hop cards. They are all new bundles from the Stampin Up “Holiday” July-December Mini Catalog Stay tuned here to my blog for instructions for all of these cards over the next week.
These 3 cards were created per the kit instructions (see video above). This kit has supplies to make 3 of each design.
These 2 alternate cards were created with the kit contents. The birds and sea horse are attached with Window Sheet strips and appear to be floating or flying.
I used the card front panels as designer paper on the front of these cards. One is under the sea and the other is above the sea.
The clouds are from the Stampin Up Waves Dies. I layered another piece of the card front panel on the bottom and fussy cut waves into it to give the appearance of the bottle floating in the water.
This view shows the card flat.
Side view showing the flying birds.
This is my “under the sea” card. I was going for a coral reef look. 
A side view of the card. The sea horse on the steps is on a Window Sheet strip so he looks like he’s floating.
This is a view of the card flattened.
The mat layers on this card were created with the Stampin’ Up Pearlescent Specialty Paper. The circles are from the Stylish Shapes dies.
