Fun Fold – Love To Scrap 2

Fall Vibes

Hi friends, happy Monday! The Mondays sure do seem to roll around quickly these days, don’t they? Last month one of my projects was included in the top pick lineup over at Let’s Craft and Create, and included was an invite to guest design for a future challenge. So here I am! The challenges are always ‘anything goes’ so come on over and play. I created a fun pocket gatefold card, inspired by THIS post on Connie Stewart’s blog. It’s definitely a fun one and provides a great alternative for the gatefold card closure! I used papers, stamps, dies and die cut pieces from the Keep It Simple Nuts About Fall collection along with their kraft ribbon.

I cut the card base, corner bases and pull-out card from CutCardStock Lessebo Coffee Bean cardstock. Also cut layering panels from assorted prints in the Keep It Simple Nuts About Fall 6×9 Collection Pack as well as CutCardStock Vanilla Bean Brown and Basis Natural cardstock.

I stamped a couple acorns from the Keep It Simple Nuts About Fall Collection stamps in Memento Rich Cocoa ink, colored them with Stampin’ Blends, and cut them with the coordinating Outline Dies. I used these as embellishments on the top of the pull-out card along with a bow fashioned from Keep It Simple Kraft Ribbon. The big sentiment is from the Keep It Simple Nuts About Fall Die Cut Pieces.

I cut the inside panel from Basis Natural and embellished it with a leftover piece of dotted paper used on the pull-out card. I added a stamped and die cut sentiment (from the same stamp set), layered the panel on Vanilla Bean Brown and then adhered the piece to the inside of the gatefold. This was such a fun card to put together!

As Sweet As Can Bee

Hi friends, happy weekend! I hope you had a good week and you’re gonna do something fun this weekend! I’m up on the CutCardStock blog today with a tutorial for making a super cute floral bouquet with a bee and a matching card. A paper bouquet is an awesome way to thank someone for their kindness – paper flowers never wilt or shrivel! I used quite a variety of our cardstock (all listed below) along with the Lori Whitlock 3D Bee Bouquet SVG cut file to make this project, and I L-O-V-E how it turned out!

I won’t go into a huge amount of detail here so be sure to see my tutorial on the CutCardStock blog to learn more. Using my Cricut Explore Air 2 and the Lori Whitlock 3D Bee Bouquet SVG cut file, I cut all the pieces from Lessebo Sunset Orange, Brick Orange, Cherry Red, Moss Green and Arctic Blue; Rubber Ducky Yellow, Mantis Green, Scottish Highlands Green, Granny Smith, Pop Tone Black Licorice, Classic Crest 80# Solar White, and Stardream Metallic Crystal cardstock. I used the print then cut function on my Cricut for the sentiment on the matching card.

As I say every time I post one of these fun projects, the assembly is always the most fun part. It’s such a joy watching them come to life! Here is one final shot of the bouquet flattened out and put in the envelope. This one was included in a bundle and I can’t wait to make the rest of them! ;)

At Last I See The Light

Hey everybody, happy Tuesday! I hope your week has started off nicely and you’re enjoying a little bit cooler weather! It’s officially Fall! I’m delighted to share a Keep It Simple DT inspiration project with you today. This anchored swing flap is one of my favorite fun fold designs and it features papers, stamps and dies from our Once Upon A Time: Rapunzel collection along with a few other products on the website. If you love Princesses, this collection is for you!

I cut the card base and swing flap element from CutCardStock Lessebo Aubergine and Light Yellow cardstock along with a layering panel from a print in the Rapunzel 6×9 Collection Pack. Using the Rapunzel Collection Stamps, I stamped images on Classic Crest 110# Solar White and the Light Yellow cardstock and colored them with alcohol markers. I also stamped some sentiments on Light Yellow cardstock and then cut all the images and sentiments with the coordinating Rapunzel Outline Dies.

I used a die in the Back To Basics Nested Stitched Ovals Dies to cut the oval aperture into the front flap, assembled the card and embellished it with Back To Basics Lilac Enamel Hearts and Back To Basics Pastel Glitter Enamel Dots in yellow.

I embellished the inside with a strip and a panel cut from another print in the collection and added an additional stamped sentiment. Such a fun design!

10/02/26 Top Pick at Creative Creases!

Hey everybody, happy weekend! I hope you are doing something fun! I have THE cutest fun fold to share today for Keep It Simple! This Z-fold double flap features papers and die cut pieces from our new Merry Grinchmas collection – this collection is so stinkin’ fun I can’t even stand it! I mean, seriously… who doesn’t love the Grinch?! AND this card has a spinner element that takes it to the next level! I cannot remember where I originally saw this fun fold design but fairly recently ran across a similar version on Connie Stewart’s blog HERE.

I cut the card base and double flap element from CutCardStock Pop Tone Red Hot, along with laying panels from American Crafts Cricket Glitter Paper, Classic Crest 80# Solar White cardstock, and prints in the Merry Grinchmas 6×9 Collection Pack. I added die cuts from the Merry Grinchmas Die Cut Pieces, putting one of them on a Back To Basics Spinners. How fun is that?!

I cut the panel inside the double flap from Classic Crest 80# Solar White cardstock and added a few more die cuts. Super simple design that really packs a punch!

Flying by with a Halloween HI (two-fer)

10/01/26 Top 3 at Cardz 4 Galz!

Hey everybody! I hope you’re having a good week and have something fun planned this weekend! Our new challenge is live this morning over at Cut It Up Challenges and I’m delighted to share my inspiration project for #365 – Orange & Black! I created a circular easel card which turned into a ‘two-fer’ using the SVG Cuts Vintage Witch SVG cut file. One card is made with the regular cut file design and the other is made with the negative space pieces left on the mat which I held in place with Press ‘N Seal. Why not get two super cute cards out of the deal, right?!

Using my Cricut Explore Air 2 and the SVG Cuts Vintage Witch SVG cut file, I cut the focal image pieces from Pop Tone Orange Fizz and Pop Tone Black Licorice cardstock. I peeled the orange layer off the mat and held the negative space pieces in place with Press ‘N Seal to use for the second card. Next, I cut the card base from CutCardStock Cougar 100# Smooth White cardstock along with layering panels from prints in the American Crafts Halloween 6×6 paper pad, all using the KIS Cuts: Nested Stitched Scallop Circles. I grabbed my Stampin’ Up! 3/4″ circle punch and punched three circles from Celebration Warehouse Non-Shedding Orange Glitter cardstock to place behind the star apertures. I added a few clear gemstones to the background which completed the upper portion.

I felt like the bottom portion was a little too busy so I cut an additional scalloped circle from CutCardStock Glama Natural Translucent Clear Vellum which toned it down a good bit. I stamped the sentiment from the Prickley Pear Stamps Bats stamp set, trimmed it and layered it on Pop Tone Black Licorice and the Orange Glitter cardstock. I popped it up on Scrapbook Adhesives Crafty Foam Tape to use as the stopper. Card #1 is complete, now on to card #2!

I cut a second card base from CutCardStock Cougar 100# Smooth White cardstock along with layering panels from prints in the Echo Park Spooky Collection Kit. I cut the plain background from the cut file a second time from the black cardstock, applied wet glue to the back of all the negative pieces on the Press ‘N Seal and adhered them in place. Once again, I punched three circles from Celebration Warehouse Non-Shedding Orange Glitter cardstock to place behind the star apertures, and added a few clear gemstones to the background which completed the upper portion.

As before, I stamped the sentiment from the Prickley Pear Stamps Bats stamp set, trimmed it and layered it on Pop Tone Orange Fizz and the Black Glitter cardstock. I popped it up on Scrapbook Adhesives Crafty Foam Tape to use as the stopper. These turned out so stinkin’ cute and they were so easy!

Howdy peeps! I hope you are having a great week and looking forward to doing something fun this weekend! I have one more ScrapbookingStore DT inspiration project to share with you today created with items in the September 2026 Scrapbook Kit with Upgrades. I’ve thoroughly enjoyed playing with this kit – loving all the coordination between the travel-themed papers and stickers to the elements in the upgrades!

I created another version of the double flap fun fold. There are literally a gazillion versions of the double flap fun fold out there. Connie Stewart has two videos on her YouTube channel for this version – one from five years ago HERE and a live from last year HERE. I definitely recommend using a lighter weight double-sided paper for the folded card base rather than cardstock like I used on this one, as it made the card a bit too thick.

I used CutCardStock Lessebo Brick Orange for the folded card base, Papertrey Ink Canyon Clay for the card back and Papertrey Ink Americana for the small rectangle on the front. All the patterned paper layers were cut from prints in the Simple Stories Open Road 12×12 Collection Kit. I added an epoxy sticker from The Paper Studio Stick-a-bilities Travel Epoxy Stickers in the upgrades to the front along with a sticker from the sticker sheet which I popped up on a foam square. I added a few more stickers from the sticker sheet to the striped double flap panel.

I cut the inside panel from Classic Crest 80# Solar White cardstock and embellished it with a leftover plaid strip used on the front triangle panels. I added a couple more stickers from the sticker sheet which completed this cute card.

The Adventure Begins

Hi friends – I hope your week is plugging along nicely and you’re seeing some decreased temps. Fall begins on the 22nd and I’m SO ready! I’m back today with a fun ScrapbookingStore DT inspiration project created with items in the September 2026 Scrapbook Kit with Upgrades. I absolutely love the travel theme and papers/elements in this month’s kit, so I thought another burst fun fold was in order! You may remember the previous one I created HERE where I described the two different versions I’d seen. I’ve since created yet another one for another design team that hasn’t been showcased yet, so stay tuned!

I cut the card base from CutCardStock Lessebo Cherry Red cardstock along with layering panels from coordinating prints in the Simple Stories Open Road 12×12 Collection Kit. I added stickers from the sticker sheet along with epoxy stickers from The Paper Studio Stick-a-bilities Travel Epoxy Stickers and labels from The Paper Studio Stick-a-bilities Neutral Labels – both from the upgrades.

I cut the sentiment panels on the back from Classic Crest 80# Solar White cardstock and added another sticker from the sticker sheet, and this fun travel-themed card was complete!

Hey everybody – wishing you all a terrific Tuesday! I have another fun ScrapbookingStore DT inspiration project to share with you today created with items in the September 2026 Scrapbook Kit with Upgrades. I’m totally loving all the coordinating items in this kit! Inspiration for this W pop-out card came from Connie Stewart’s blog (post HERE) which I put my own twist on by folding the front flap backwards and leaving the W on the outside so it’s literally the star of the show. What do you think? You’ll need to look at Connie’s to see the comparison. I do plan on making this one again in the same fashion Connie made hers, so stay tuned. ;)

I cut the card base and W element from Classic Crest 80# Solar White cardstock along with layering panels from prints in the Simple Stories Open Road 12×12 Collection Kit. I added some stickers from the sticker sheet along with an epoxy sticker from The Paper Studio Stick-a-bilities Travel Epoxy Stickers in the upgrades. Here’s a slightly overhead shot so you can see the construction.

I added a small stitched rectangle die cut for the signature area, and this super cute card was finished. Such a fun design!

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

09/17/26 Top Pick at Cardz 4 Galz!

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!
