Happy Campers

Hey everybody, happy Monday! I hope you had a great weekend! I’ve popped in this morning with a fun ScrapbookingStore DT inspiration project created with items in the September 2026 Scrapbook Kit with Upgrades. The papers in this month’s kit are uber amazing! So I tried a new fun fold I’ve not seen before – a gatefold pop-out card – and my inspiration came from Connie Stewart’s blog (post HERE). I love her whimsical personality, and her videos are so fun! If you’ve never watched her and you want to have a good time crafting, check her out! Not to mention she loves fun folds like I do and creates some really awesome cards!

I cut the gatefold card base from CutCardStock Lessebo Granite Gray cardstock along with layering panels and the belly band from coordinating prints in the Simple Stories Open Road 12×12 Collection Kit. I used stickers from the sticker sheet for the sentiment and focal image on the belly band, and added an epoxy sticker sentiment from The Paper Studio Stick-a-bilities Travel Epoxy Stickers in the upgrades to the bottom of the right-hand gatefold panel.

I cut the inside pop-out panel from white cardstock, layered it on a panel cut from a print in the collection, and embellished it with a leftover scrap from the print used for the belly band. I added more stickers from the sticker sheet and another epoxy sticker from the upgrades.

Beach Themed Peek-A-Boo Card

Hey everybody, happy Friday! Do you have any fun plans for the weekend? It’s definitely still warm enough to hit the beach and I have some great card inspiration for you today. I’m up on the CutCardStock blog with a tutorial for making an adorable beach themed peek-a-boo card featuring our Patriot Blue, Basis Blue, Glama Brown Kraft and Classic Crest Solar White cardstock. Many years have gone by since I made this fun fold the very first time, and when I saw it several months ago on Lisa Curcio’s blog I was instantly inspired to make it again, but for another design team. So inspired that I had to make another one for this team, lol! It’s such a fun design, and despite it’s complex look, it’s really fairly simple.

I won’t go into a huge amount of detail here, so be sure to see my tutorial on the CutCardStock blog. I cut the card base pieces from Patriot Blue and Basis Blue along with patterned paper layers cut from two coordinating prints in the Keep It Simple Royal 12×12 Collection Pack. I stamped one of the sentiments on Glama Brown Kraft in Catherine Pooler Icing on the Cake ink. I used torn Glama Brown Kraft cardstock, Inspired by Stamping Seaside and Seaside Sentiments stamp sets, along with Eyelet Outlet brads to embellish the front.

I used torn Glama Brown Kraft cardstock, Inspired by Stamping Seaside and Seaside Sentiments stamp sets, along with Eyelet Outlet brads to embellish the inside as well. I did stamp and then heat emboss the inside sentiment in white using Brutus Monroe Alabaster White ink, clear embossing ink and Alabaster embossing powder. Totally LOVE how this turned out!

Ladybug

Hi friends – I hope you’re having a happy Thursday and you have something fun planned for the weekend! I have a super cute Keep It Simple DT inspiration project to share today that makes me happy! I totally love lady bugs and this slider pop-up card (inspiration from Connie Stewart’s blog HERE) features papers and die cut pieces from our Bugs collection. Despite it’s complex look, it really is an easy card to make and is a great fun fold to show off images and papers. This is an absolutely adorable collection!

I cut the card base from CutCardStock Lessebo Pitch Black cardstock along with layering panels from coordinating prints in the Bugs 12×12 Collection Pack and a sentiment panel from Classic Crest 80# Solar White cardstock. I did use a Stampin’ Up oval punch to punch a ‘thumb notch’ in the sleeve (the element that allows the card to slide) along with a Stampin’ Up 1″ circle punch to place beneath the shamrock as the stopper. I grabbed the Bugs Die Cut Pieces and used several images and sentiments to embellish the card. The finishing touch was adding some Back To Basics Mango Enamel Hearts.

Here is a side view so you can see the construction, and it folds flat for mailing! So stinkin’ fun… I love it!

Happy Birthday America

Howdy, peeps! It’s Thursday and I hope you’re having a good week! I’m stoked to be back with another Keep It Simple DT inspiration project to share today! To commemorate America’s 250th birthday back on July 4th, I created a patriotic shaker tag card with a vertical split panel fold design that features papers and die cut pieces from our Stars & Stripes collection. I also used our new Tags #2 dies and a bunch of patriotic shaker bits from our Sprinkles line (as well as a few die cuts mixed in)! I love this fun fold, and the fact that it has a patriotic shaker tag on the front makes it even more fun!

I cut the card base from Classic Crest 80# Solar White cardstock along with panels from assorted prints in the Stars & Stripes 6×9 Collection Pack. The shaker shows off seven varieties of our patriotic Sprinkles with a few Stars & Stripes Die Cut Pieces mixed in. I used the star dies in the KIS Cuts: Tags #2 set for the main shaker, as well as adhesive and acetate from our Back To Basics Shaker Basics Foam Adhesive & Acetate Sheets.

I used the banner dies in the KIS Cuts: Tags #1 set to cut the three sentiment banners. I stamped two sentiments from the Back To Basics Happy Birthday Sentiments stamp set in Memento Paris Dusk ink and the third sentiment from the Stars & Stripes Collection Stamps in Catherine Pooler Rockin’ Red ink, and then attached them with a bulb safety pin from my stash. I threaded some of our Stars & Stripes Ribbon through the hole at the top and tied it with some white twine in my stash. Finally, I added a disc magnet to keep the card closed.

I die cut an additional star for the inside that I embellished with leftover pieces of the patterned paper in the Stars & Stripes Collection Pack. The sentiment is from the Stars & Stripes Collection Stamps, stamped in Memento Paris Dusk ink.

Little Pleasures

Hi friends – I hope you are having a great weekend! I have another ScrapbookingStore DT inspiration project to share with you today created with items in the August 2026 Scrapbook Kit. I squealed when I discovered this fun fold on Connie Stewart’s blog (HERE) because it’s a familiar one but I can’t remember where I originally saw it. She didn’t have a specific name for it so I’m calling it an accordion flap fun fold, and it features coordinating prints from the Pinkfresh Studio Ordinary Joys paper pack and the matching puffy stickers. There is no better way to recognize a ‘bookworm friend’  than to make a book-themed fun fold!
UPDATE: This card design is also known as a Z-fold double flap.

I cut the card base and flap element from Neenah Astro Designs kraft cardstock (bought on Amazon ions ago) along with layering panels from CutCardStock Lessebo Coffee Bean cardstock and coordinating prints in this month’s collection. I added a layered tag shaped element (cut from Keep It Simple Stitched Tag Dies) and a couple coordinating puffy stickers. I fashioned a brown and white gingham bow (from the Keep It Simple Kraft ribbon pack) which completed the card front.

For the inside of the flap element, I added a Solar White cardstock panel embellished with a scrap from the collection. I went on to add a Waffle Flower Cozy Subsentiment Die Cut and another puffy sticker, and this super cute card was complete. LOVE how it turned out – the neutrals look so good!

Hey y’all, happy weekend! How’s the weather where you are? It’s warm and muggy here and I’m ready for Fall… I believe I’ve said that a few times over the past couple months, lol! I have THE sweetest motivational card to share with you today for ScrapbookingStore using items in the August 2026 Scrapbook Kit. The prints in this collection are just gorgeous! Gatefolds are among my favorite fun folds to create, and having double gatefold card dies along with beautiful coordinating papers to pair with navy and white cardstock in my stash was definitely a plus!

Using the Creative Craft Products Double Gatefold Card Dies, I die cut the card base from CutCardStock Lessebo Navy Blue cardstock along with layering panels from Solar White cardstock and a couple prints in the collection. I used a coordinating puffy sticker as the focal element on the front, anchoring it with a disc magnet to keep the card closed.

I added additional panels to the inside along with a motivational sentiment (from the Keep It Simple Sunshine & Rainbows stamp set) stamped in Catherine Pooler Juniper Mist ink. And this sweet card was complete. So easy and makes such an impact!

Hey everybody, happy Friday! I hope you’ve had a great week and you’re going to have some fun this weekend! I’m popping in this morning with a ScrapbookingStore DT inspiration project created with items in the August 2026 Scrapbook Kit! The double pop-up card (inspired by Connie Stewart) has quickly risen to the top of my top ten favorite fun folds, so I’ve made another one! This new home card features papers from the Pinkfresh Studio Ordinary Joys paper pack along with coordinating puffy stickers. I love the color palette and prints in the paper pack this month, and feel like you just can’t go wrong with any type of card you create!

I cut the card base and pop-up elements from CutCardStock Basis Coral cardstock, which they sadly don’t stock anymore, but any coral color would work. I also cut layering panels from CutCardStock Pop Tone Black Licorice cardstock and coordinating prints in the collection. Then the finishing touch to the front was adding a couple puffy stickers.

I chose several additional prints from the collection to layer onto the pop-up elements on the inside, and then added a few more puffy stickers, which completed the card. Love, love, love how this turned out! This paper pack is ah-mazing!

Route 66

Hi friends, a very happy Friday to you! How is the weather where you are? It’s pretty warm and somewhat humid here, and I have to say I’m ready for Fall! That didn’t take long, did it?! I’ve mentioned many times that I’m not a Summer weather person, lol! Our new challenge is live this morning over at Cut It Up Challenges and I’m delighted to share my DT inspiration project for #363 – Moving Along! We’d love to see your project depicting some sort of transportation, and remember to use wafer dies or an electronic cutting machine. This Route 66 Box Card SVG cut file from SVG Cuts was off-the-chain fun! OMGosh, I can’t even express how much I enjoyed making this! There is so much for the eyes to see!

Using my Cricut Explore Air 2 and the SVG Cuts Route 55 Box Card SVG cut file, I cut pieces from CutCardStock Lessebo Arctic Blue, Lessebo Dawn Maroon, Lessebo Coffee Bean, Lessebo Salt Water Blue, and Pop Tone Black Licorice cardstock and CutCardStock Glama Natural Translucent Clear Vellum, along with Classic Crest Recycled Classic Natural White.

Also used an assortment of patterned papers – Crafter’s Companion Just for Men Urban Collection and Bright Collection 6×6 paper pads, Urban Style 4×8 design pad, and Studio Kitsch Souvenir digital papers printed on HP 32# copy paper. I pulled out RiverCity Rubber Works Postage Stamps rubber stamps to stamp a postmark in Memento Tuxedo Black ink on the postage stamp, and used red gemstones and Keep It Simple Back To Basics Black Enamel Dots for embellishments.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Let’s Set Sail stamp set for the sentiment on the back. I cut the envelope from Simple Stories Wood & Gingham Basics 12×12 paper pad and used Scrapbook Adhesives Crafty Power Tape on the flap with the liner left intact. My hubby turned 66 on his birthday a little while back (yes, I’m a cradle-robber, lol) and this was his birthday card. Needless to say, he loved it!

Hey everybody, hope you’re doing well and having a great Wednesday! I’m delighted to share a Keep It Simple DT inspiration project with you today – one I created with a tutorial for the How-To section on the Keep It Simple website. This envelope tuck card features papers and die cut pieces from our Barnyard Bliss collection, and it’s so easy it’s ridiculous, lol! I won’t go into a huge amount of detail in this post, so be sure to visit the blog to see how I made it!

I cut the card base and envelope flap from CutCardStock Pop Tone Jellybean Green cardstock along with layering panel from a print in the Barnyard Bliss 12×12 Collection Pack. I die cut the square for the focal image using a Back To Basics Nested Stitched Squares die which I adhered to an ever-so-slightly larger Classic Crest Solar White square. I embellished the focal panel with Barnyard Bliss Die Cut Pieces.

I cut the inside panels from Solar White and an additional print in the Barnyard Bliss collection, and embellished them with a sentiment the cut-apart sheet and more die cut pieces. As I said, it’s an easy one! ;)

Seeking Treasure

Hey everybody, happy Thursday! I hope you’re having a good week! I’m delighted to share another Keep It Simple DT inspiration project with you today that features papers and die cut pieces from our new Sea Pirates collection that just went live a few days ago! Aren’t these products just THE cutest?! To create this fun diorama card, I used our trusty 3D Diorama Card Dies for the base and then added the die cut pieces. This was such a fun card to make!

Using our 3D Diorama Card Dies, cut the card base from CutCardStock Sand Castle cardstock along with layering panels from coordinating prints in the Sea Pirates 12×12 Collection Pack. I grabbed a handful of die cuts from the Sea Pirates Die Cut Pieces and adhered them to the inserts and the back, popping some of them up with our Adhesive Basics Foam Adhesive Squares. I added the sentiment to the top right corner, and the card was finished! Easy Peasy!

Here’s a shot of the card flattened out for mailing.
