Fun Fold – Page 10 – Love To Scrap 2

hello my friend

Hey everybody, happy Friday! I hope you’ve had a great week. I’m delighted to share a Brutus Monroe DT inspiration project today featuring the amazing New Day stamps and dies which I paired with a floral print in our Plaid Petals paper collection, an off-white paper in the Flower Power paper collection, our Rouge cardstock and a few Light Pink flat back crystals. I totally love how this turned out using these beautifully coordinating products. And this twisted gate fold is such a show-stopper and is easy to make! I’m totally convinced any friend would be happy to receive this card!

Cut the card base from Rouge cardstock at 7-1/2″ x 4-1/4″, scored at 2-1/2″ and 5″. This panel now is divided into three sections. Score the left and right sections from the upper left corner diagonally down to the bottom right corner, leaving the middle section alone. Mountain fold the two diagonal score lines and valley fold the two straight score lines, using a bone folder to burnish the creases.

Cut two panels of either patterned or plain paper at 2-1/4″ x 3-7/8″ and decide which piece you want for the ‘upper’ and ‘lower’ flaps. For the upper flaps (the floral print from our Plaid Petals paper pack on my project), cut the panel diagonally from the upper left corner down to the lower right corner. For the lower flaps (the off-white paper from our Flower Power paper pack on my project), cut the upper right corner down to the lower left corner. Adhere the panels to the flaps.

Using the stamps in the New Day stamps, stencil and dies bundle, stamp the circle frame and a sentiment from our New Day stamp set in pink inks on the off-white paper. Cut the stamped circle frame with the coordinating die, and either die cut or punch the sentiment in a circle. Next, die cut or punch a slightly larger circle from the Rouge cardstock, layer the circles together and adhere them on top of the stamped circle frame popped up on thin 3D foam squares. Adhere the sentiment piece to the card front, applying adhesive only to half of it so the card opens and closes properly. Add a few light pink crystals, which will complete the card front.

Cut an inside panel from the off-white paper at 2-1/4″ x 4″, embellish it with a leftover strip of the floral paper, and stamp an inside sentiment (also from the New Day stamps, stencil and dies bundle). That’s it… I told you it was easy! I’d love to know if you make one! ;)

Hey everybody, Happy Saturday! I hope you had a great week and have something fun planned this weekend. I’m up on the CutCardStock blog today with a tutorial for making a friendship card in the form of a library pocket! I used our Lessebo Bubble Gum Pink, Lessebo Blossom Pink and Pop Tone Jellybean Green, along with Neenah Classic Crest 110# Solar White for the card insert. You won’t believe how easy this card is – I see many more of these in my future, lol!

I cut the library pocket card base from Lessebo Bubble Gum Pink along with a layering panel from Lessebo Blossom Pink and the card insert from Neenah Classic Crest 110# Solar White. I used my MISTI to do some outline stamping on the layering panel in Versafine Onyx Black ink using the Stampin’ Up Hand-Penned Petals stamp set. Then I used Catherine Pooler Eucalyptus, Something Borrowed, Grape Crush, Flirty Fuchsia and Pucker Up inks to do the fill-in stamping with an acrylic stamping block.

I also used the coordinating Stampin’ Up Penned Flowers dies to embellish the Solar White card insert. The front sentiment was stamped in Versafine Onyx Black ink using the same Stampin’ Up Hand-Penned Petals stamp set which I cut with a Love From Lizi Stitched Circle Nested Cutting Die. The finishing touch on the front was the addition of several Brutus Monroe Light Pink Flat Back Crystals.

The only thing left to do with the insert card was to stamp a sentiment. This one, from the Stampin’ Up Celebrate Sunflowers stamp set, was also stamped in Versafine Onyx Black ink. Love, love, love how this turned out! Be sure to visit the CutCardStock blog to see my tutorial if you want to learn how to make this! I have to admit that I attempted to watch a video on YouTube but it was awful (as was the accompanying written tutorial) so I ended up going in my own direction. Sometimes you just have to take the bull by the horns, lol!

Hey y’all, happy Friday! I hope you’ve had a great week! I’m delighted to share a Brutus Monroe DT inspiration project today featuring the awesome Vintage Plaid papers and Occasional Greetings stamp set. I also used our Midnight and Jack O Lantern cardstock along with our Super Sentimental stamp set to make this incredible shirt card come to life. It’s my own fun fold/shape card design and I’m happy to share my instructions with anyone who would like to have them. The Freebies page on my blog is not available right now so use the email address on my Contact page to let me know you’d like to have them. ;)

I cut the shirt card base from Midnight cardstock along with layering panels from an orange and blue plaid (LOVE!) from our Vintage Plaid 6×6 Paper Pack. I used Eyelet Outlet blue gemstones for the buttons. I stamped the sentiment from our Occasional Greetings Stamp Set on a Jack O Lantern cardstock scrap in Raven ink and punched it with a Stampin’ Up 1-3/4″ Circle Punch. I die cut a slightly larger circle (using the Love From Lizi Stitched Circle Nested Cutting Dies) from Midnight cardstock, layered them together, and affixed the sentiment to the shirt front on adhesive foam squares.

I cut the inside panel from Perfect Blend cardstock and embellished it with a leftover strip of the plaid paper used on the front. The finishing touch was stamping a sentiment from our Super Sentimental Stamp Set in Raven ink.

Happy Mother’s Day window card

Howdy peeps, I hope you’re having a great week! They sure are going by at a rapid rate these days. Our new challenge is live this morning over at Creative Creases and I’m delighted to share this Mother’s Day window card with you for Challenge #103. I used quite a few Lawn Fawn products (papers, dies and stamps) along with a boatload of Lessebo cardstock from CutCardStock. I totally love how this turned out!

I pulled out the Lawn Fawn Center Picture Window Card Dies, Shadow Box Card Dies, Shadow Box Ocean Add-On Dies, and Shadow Box Park Add-On Dies, and commenced to cutting all the pieces from CutCardStock Lessebo cardstock and the Lawn Fawn Spring Fling paper pack. I always say the most fun is assembling these kinds of projects, and this was definitely no exception. I had a ball! I used the Lawn Fawn Happy Happy Happy stamp set for the front sentiment which I stamped in Memento Tuxedo Black ink.

I added a panel to the back cut from Lessebo White cardstock and stamped a sentiment from the Stampin’ Up Happy & Heartfelt stamp set, which completed the card. I’ve also included an overhead shot of the card so you can see how stinkin’ cute it is! ;)

Hey everybody, happy Friday! You’ve undoubtedly read in my previous posts that Ed and I are moving from Colorado to Iowa, so we’ve been super busy. Thank goodness for the ability to schedule posts ahead of time or I’d be SOL! I’m thrilled to share a Brutus Monroe DT inspiration project today featuring the amazing Road Trip stamp set along with our Pink Lemonade cardstock and Spring Splatter papers. Any kind of RV/camper stamp sets have a special place in my heart because we were full-time RVers for several years. We’ve met a lot of awesome people and had some really good times… great memories for sure! I saw this pop up block card year before last on Lisa Curcio’s blog and it’s one of my all-time favorite fun folds to make.

I cut the card base and blocks from our Pink Lemonade cardstock along with layering panels from our Spring Splatter 6×6 Paper Pack. I stamped the camper from the Road Trip stamp set in Raven ink on Solar White cardstock. I colored it with an assortment of markers, fussy cut it and then stamped a sentiment on it in Catherine Pooler Samba ink. I added a tiny bow fashioned from Keep It Simple Back To Basics Black & White Ribbon along with several of our Light Pink Flat Back Crystals.

I added a Solar White panel to the back which I embellished with a leftover strip of the Spring Splatter paper. I stamped another sentiment from the Road Trip stamp set in Raven ink, which completed the card. I included a shot of the card folded flat for mailing. Love it!

Hey everybody, happy Wednesday! The weeks sure seem to be rolling around pretty quickly these days. I’m up on the Love From Lizi blog today with a tutorial for making a masculine ‘love you just because’ card with a slanted flap. I sure do love me some fun folds and next in line come the fancy cuts which really make a statement! I used paper, stamps, ephemera, pin stripe peel-offs and sequins – all from our ‘For Him’ May release – and I love how it turned out. This release is packed full of wonderful products to get your masculine project mojo going! And our team is having an IG Hop to celebrate this awesome release, so be sure to visit the Love From Lizi Instagram page to hop with us and get in on the chance to win a $30CAD gift card to shop on the site!

I used CutCardStock Basis 110# Natural cardstock for the card base and cut off the front flap at an angle, saving the piece that was cut off. Next, I cut the front layering panel from Basis 80# Natural cardstock, angled the bottom edge, and did a little mixed media work on it. I used Memento Rich Cocoa and Espresso Truffle dye inks, Ranger Antique Linen and Vintage Photo Distress Spritz (sprayed and splattered) along with hand stamping using stamps from the Summer Botany Stamp Set. I used Ranger Walnut Stain Distress Ink around the edges which I had also distressed with the Tim Holtz Distress Tool.

I lightly distressed the inside of the card base also (using the same products sans the stamping) and inked the outside edges with Walnut Stain distress ink. I adhered the leftover piece cut off the front flap along with a patterned paper layer cut from a striped paper in the A Spot of Autumn 6×6 Paper Pack. I adhered a couple pieces of Vintage Escapes Ephemera, then added a couple Brown Mirror Pinstripe Peel-Off Stickers and several sequins from the For Him Sequin Mix to the card front. I stamped a sentiment from the same Summer Botany Stamp Set in Memento Rich Cocoa ink and tore it on all four sides. I lightly inked the edges and popped it up on thin 3D foam squares.

I embellished the inside with a 1/2″ x 4-1/8″ strip of the patterned paper which I distressed with the Walnut Stain distress ink, and then stamped a sentiment from the same stamp set in Rich Cocoa ink. For more details, be sure to visit the Love From Lizi blog to see my tutorial. ;)

Life is Good

Hey y’all, happy Tuesday! It is indeed a very happy Tuesday for Ed and I… we’ve been keeping a secret and we can now let the cat out of the bag, lol! We closed on a house in Iowa yesterday. We’ve thoroughly enjoyed the last eight years we’ve been in Colorado, but as old folks on social security, we need to be in a more affordable location to spend our remaining years. Plus we’ll be closer to family, so it’s a win-win! Now, let me share this fun center flap card I created for Keep It Simple using papers and die cut pieces from our new Wander collection. This is one of the easiest fun folds ever and I totally love how it turned out. It’s very similar to all the front flap card folds I’ve made over the years but it’s made with one piece of cardstock rather than two.

I cut the 5-1/2″ x 8-1/2″ card base from CutCardStock Basis Black and scored it at 4-1/4″. I put the cardstock in my paper trimmer with the 5-1/2″ edge across the top. I measured 1-1/4″ inward from the left edge and cut from the top edge down to the score line, and then repeated the process on the other side. I applied glue to the underside of the two narrow flaps and pressed them down, leaving the center flap loose. I used papers and die cuts from our Wander collection, along with our Lemon enamel dots and some Love From Lizi gold pinstripe peel-off stickers to embellish the front.

I cut the inside panel from Neenah Classic Crest Solar White cardstock and embellished it with a paper strip and more die cuts. Seriously, this card couldn’t be easier – you have to give it a try! ;)

Hey everybody, happy Friday! I hope you’ve had a fabulous week and you’re looking forward to a restful and relaxing weekend. I’m thrilled to share a Brutus Monroe DT inspiration project with you today featuring our Hip Hop Hooray stamps, stencils and chipboard along with our Bunny Friends stamps and chipboard. This double easel fold is seriously one of the easiest-ever fun folds and it really packs a punch. And I just can’t get over the cuteness of all the Easter-themed crafty goodies in this latest release – be sure to check them out!

I cut the card base at 4-1/4″ x 11″ (scored at 5-1/2″) from CutCardStock Basis 110# Natural cardstock. Next, I cut the double easel panel at 4″ x 10-1/4″ (scored at 2-1/2″ and 5″) along with an embellishment strip approximately 3-5/8″ x 3/4″ from our Jack O Lantern cardstock. Finally, I cut two additional layering panels at 3-3/4″ x 5″ and 2-1/4″ x 3-3/4″ from a print in the Spring Floral 6×6 Paper Pack. I created the focal images for the front using the Hip Hop Hooray stamps and stencils with distress inks and chipboard companions. I also used a variety of markers in addition to the distress inks, and blinged out the eggs with some tiny colored gemstones in my stash. Just prior to adhering the focal images, I stamped a sentiment from the Hip Hop Hooray stamp set.

I cut the inside panel at 3-3/4″ x 5″ from CutCardStock Basis 80# Natural cardstock and embellished it with leftover strips of the patterned paper and cardstock used on the front. I stamped a sentiment from the same Hip Hop Hooray stamp set and layered it on a panel of Jack O Lantern cardstock cut at 4″ x 5-1/4″. The finishing touch was adding an additional chipboard bunny created with the Bunny Friends stamps and chipboard companions. All stamping on this card was done in our Raven ink.

Hi friends, Happy Friday! Aren’t Fridays always happy?! I believe they are even when you’re retired… I always feel like I can freely do my own thing over the weekend with no interruptions from having to travel to doctor appointments! I’m delighted to share a Brutus Monroe DT inspiration project today featuring the uber adorable Make Me Hoppy stamps, Hip Hop Hooray stamps, and Bunny Friends stamps with chipboard. And of course I can’t leave out the gorgeous Spring Floral papers and Rouge cardstock! If you haven’t seen the March release yet, you really need to check it out – it’s chock full of Easter fun! I created a 3D Window Card which quickly rose to the top of my favorites list when I discovered it early last year on Lisa Curcio’s blog. Despite it’s complex look, it is an easy one.

I cut the pieces for the card base from Rouge cardstock along with layering panels from coordinating papers in the Spring Floral 6×6 Paper Pack. I stamped adorable bunny and basket (along with a sentiment) in Raven ink on a panel of CutCardStock Basis Natural cardstock, colored the image with an assortment of markers, and cut it with a Love From Lizi Stitched Oval Nested Cutting Die. I cut the aperture in the front panel with a slightly larger oval die and added the image in the center of the aperture. The finishing touch was adding a bow fashioned from Keep It Simple Back To Basics Rose Ribbon and some of our Light Pink Flat Back Crystals.

I cut one of the back panels from the Basis Natural cardstock and embellished it with a leftover piece of the Spring Floral paper used on the other panels. I grabbed the Hip Hop Hooray stamps and the Bunny Friends stamps with chipboard, and stamped the sentiment and bunny in Raven ink. LOVE how this turned out!

Hello You!

Hey everybody! I hope you’re having a fantastic week with wonderful Spring weather! I’m up on the Love From Lizi blog today with a tutorial for making a hinge card. This card features our Rise and Shine Stamp Set, Floral Watering Can Cutting Die, and Matte Silver Sway Peel-Off Stickers from our March release. I also used papers from a variety of our paper packs, some of our nested cutting dies, peel-off stickers and pearls from the store.

I made one of these with a narrow vertical hinge about a month ago and really enjoyed the process. This fold is very similar (but slightly different) than a double flap fun fold and I’ve made lots of them over the years. There are several different ways to fashion the hinge to make this card really fun! Be sure to check out my tutorial on the Love From Lizi blog if you’d like to learn how to make a hinge card.

I cut the flat card base from Neenah Classic Crest 110# Solar White cardstock and the folded card panel from 80# Solar White. I cut layering panels and stitched rectangle and oval die cuts from assorted prints in the Love You, Winter Warmers, Linen Rainbow and Neutrals 6×6 paper Packs as well as white cardstock. I used the Floral Watering Can Cutting Die to cut an embellishment for the panel beneath the hinge flap. The sentiments and flower on the front of the hinge are stamped from the Rise and Shine Stamp Set. The finishing touch on the front was adding some peel-off stickers and a few small white pearls.

I embellished the inside of the folded card with strips cut from the green papers used on the front, and added a sentiment on a die cut stitched oval.
