So Lucky

Hey everybody, Happy Wednesday! I hope your week is going along nicely. I’m up on the Love From Lizi blog today with a tutorial for making a book cradle fold. This is my first attempt at this particular fold (which I saw on the Mixed Up Craft YouTube Channel) and it’s an interesting one. I used stamps and ephemera from our new So Lucky collection which I paired with several green prints from the Winter Warmers 6×6 Patterned Paper Pack and a couple Gold Mirror Peel-Off Stickers. This collection is a must-have for any coffee lovers out there!

I cut the card base pieces from Neenah Classic Crest 110# Solar White cardstock along with layering panels from assorted prints in the Winter Warmers 6×6 Patterned Paper Pack. Be sure to check out my tutorial on the Love From Lizi blog mentioned above for assembly instructions.

There are lots of areas on this card to embellish as desired. I used gold mirror peel-off stickers as well as ephemera and stamped sentiments from the new So Lucky collection. I did not have the dies in the bundle yet when I created this card, so I fussy cut the front sentiment. Here are shots of the back and a side angle so you can see the construction. Pretty cool, huh?!

Living the Fairy Tale

Hey everybody, I hope you’re having a great Thursday! I’m back with my second post today to share a Keep It Simple DT inspiration project created with our new Once Upon A Time: Jasmine Collection! OMGoodness, what a FABulous selection of papers, stamps, dies, and die cut pieces! It’s no secret that the faux center step card is one of my favorites (I’ve made quite a few of them) and it was the perfect way to showcase these adorable fairytale characters. And keeping a minimal list of supplies makes this a quick and easy card. And don’t forget the instructions for this fun fold are on the Freebies page of my blog HERE.

I cut the card base and center panel from CutCardStock Basis Teal cardstock, along with layering panels from coordinating prints in the Jasmine 6×9 Collection Pack. I grabbed a sentiment and a few images from the Jasmine Die Cut Pieces and built a little scene, popping a few of them up on foam squares.

I cut the inside panel from Neenah Classic Crest 80# Solar White and added another few pieces of ephemera from the Die Cut Pieces. I also cut a panel for the back to give it more of a finished look.

Congrats fun fold

Hey everybody, happy Thursday! I hope you’re having a great week! I’m thrilled to share a Scrapbook Pal DT inspiration project with you today created with the Altenew Mini Delight: A Floral Congrats stamps and dies. I love florals and I love fun folds, so getting to share this tri-fold hidden door fun fold with you is definitely a win-win! All of the Altenew Mini Delight bundles are amazing and these stamps and dies are no exception. They sure make some beautiful projects! I saw this fun fold on Pinterest and it led me to several different videos so it’s an easy one to find.

I cut the card base and panel from CutCardStock Lessebo Sunflower Yellow cardstock, along with layering panels from CutCardStock Basis White and a diagonal striped print from the Keep It Simple Back To Basics Lemon 12×12 Collection Pack. I stamped the double floral image from the Altenew Mini Delight: A Floral Congrats stamp set twice on Neenah Classic Crest Solar White cardstock, colored them with Copic Ciao markers, and cut them with the coordinating die.

Using the floral and leaves dies in the Altenew Mini Delight: A Floral Congrats die set, I die cut several flowers and some greenery from papers in the KIS Lemon Collection Pack and CutCardStock Lessebo Hunter Green cardstock which I used to embellish several of the panels. I stamped sentiments from the same stamp set in black ink. The finishing touch was adding a small yellow gemstone to the center of each flower.

I stamped an additional sentiment from the same stamp set in black ink on the hidden panel inside, and embellished the panels on each side of that with die cut flowers.

Hey everybody, Happy Saturday! I hope you have something fun planned this weekend that doesn’t involve snow… or maybe it does?! We got more snow earlier this week and they were some of the biggest snowflakes I’ve ever seen! I’m stoked to share another Keep It Simple DT inspiration project with you today, created with our new Once Upon A Time: Jasmine Collection. I created another hidden pocket pop up card. I totally LOVE this fold; made my first one just about a year ago and it quickly rose to the top of my list of favorites. I originally found it on Lisa Curcio’s blog. It looks like a regular A2 card from the front but I always say the magic is on the inside!

I cut the card base and inside panels from CutCardStock Amazon Dark Teal along with layering panels from assorted prints in the Jasmine 6×9 Collection Pack. I stamped a variety of sentiments and images from the Collection Stamps, colored them with alcohol markers, and cut them with the coordinating Outline Dies. I created the scene on the front, popping Jasmine and the sentiment up on foam squares.

As I said above, the magic is on the inside! I added additional stamped images and another sentiment to the hidden pocket flap, and a trimmed and layered piece of ephemera (from the cut-apart sheet in the 12×12 Collection Pack) on the inside signature panel.

cue the confetti!

Hey everybody, Happy Friday! I hope the first half of the first month of 2025 is going well for you. I’m delighted to share a DT inspiration project for Emily Moore Designs featuring the NEW Decorative Sentiment Dies and All The Happy Things stamp set. If you haven’t yet checked out these new products released on January 1st, you are in for a surprise… fun stuff, for sure! And to save you a few bucks, these two are available in the Decorative and Happy Bundle! And if you’re a new customer, don’t forget to use my code LESLIE10 for 10% off your order!

The double flap fun fold is one of my favorites and I thought it would make an excellent card for new grandparents, so that’s the direction I went, using a pink and purple color combo. I also used the Yay! Layered Word Die, Confetti Layered Stencils, Simon Hurley Silver Lining Lunar Paste and the Graduation & Retirement stamp set, all of which compliment these new products in a most awesome way.

I started by creating the background on CutCardStock Savoy Brilliant White Cotton cardstock using the Confetti Layered Stencils, Ranger picked raspberry and shaded lilac distress inks and a couple blending brushes, and Simon Hurley Silver Lining Lunar Paste and a spatula. While it was drying, I cut a flag, small heart and sentiment banner from Doodlebug Design Floral-Graph Rainbow Petite Prints, CutCardStock Silk Glitter Silvermist cardstock and a Solar White cardstock scrap, all using the Decorative Sentiment Dies, and set them aside.

I cut the card base, a stitched circle die cut (using the Love From Lizi Stitched Circle Nested Cutting Dies), and the focal using the (Yay! Layered Word Die) from American Crafts Taffy cardstock. I cut layering panels from Doodlebug Design Plaid-Polka Dot and Floral-Graph Rainbow Petite Prints. The confetti background was dry at this point so I cut a stitched circle using a slightly smaller die from the Love From Lizi Stitched Circle Nested Cutting Dies. I assembled the card, and the final step was stamping a sentiment from the All The Happy Things stamp set on the banner in the picked raspberry distress ink and popping it up on 3D Foam Squares.

I cut the inside panel from Solar White cardstock and embellished it with a leftover strip of paper from the Floral-Graph Rainbow Petite Prints. I stamped two sentiments (one from the All The Happy Things stamp set and the other from the Graduation & Retirement stamp set) in the picked raspberry and shaded lilac distress inks. LOVE how this turned out!

Tea Time Fun Fold

Hey everybody, Happy Wednesday! I hope you’re having a good week and it’s not too chilly where you are, but if it is, I have the perfect card to warm you up! I’m up on the Love From Lizi blog today with a tutorial for making a tea-themed pop-up card. This awesome card features our Its Always Tea Time Cutting Die which I paired with prints from the Indigoletta 6×6 Patterned Paper Pack, a Stitched Oval Nested Cutting Die, and some Pin Stripe Mauve Mirror Peel-Off Stickers. What a gorgeous combination!

I cut the card base, pop-up panel and banner from CutCardStock Lessebo Moss Green cardstock. Next I cut layering panels from CutCardStock Plum cardstock as well as the Indigoletta 6×6 Patterned Paper Pack, and assembled the basic card, adhering the banner vertically down the front.

Using the Its Always Tea Time Cutting Die, I cut the focal from CutCardStock Bright Gold Foil and again from the Plum cardstock. I layered them together, slightly offsetting the purple for just a bit of gold highlight. I adhered the focal to an oval cut with the Stitched Oval Nested Cutting Die and then to the card front. I added a small disc magnet to keep the card closed.

I added several Pin Stripe Mauve Mirror Peel-Off Stickers to the inside pop-up panel and the message card. I also fussy cut a floral from the paper pack and adhered it to the message card which I left blank to write a custom message.

Congratulations tri-fold

Hey everybody, can you believe 2025 is here already?! As quickly as 2024 passed us by, it’ll be Christmas again before we know it… LOL! I’m up on the Emily Moore Designs blog today with a sweet new home card featuring our NEW All The Happy Things stamp set and Decorative Sentiment Dies. These two new products are available in a bundle for a discounted price, so look for the Decorative and Happy Bundle on the website, and if you’re a new customer, be sure to use my code LESLIE10 for 10% off your order! I also used the Gift Card Holder With A Bow for this tri-fold and I love how it turned out. I’ve made quite a few tri-folds recently; it truly is one of the easiest fun folds ever.

I cut a 5-1/2″ x 8-1/2″ card base from CutCardStock Basis Dark Red cardstock and scored it at 4-1/4″. Next, I cut an additional 4-5/8” x 5-1/2” panel and scored it at 3/8″, then adhered it to the right edge of the card base on the 3/8″ flap to create the tri-fold. I cut several 1/4″ strips from Celebration Warehouse Dark Red Wine Non-Shedding Glitter cardstock along with several 1/8” strips from CutCardStock Basis Natural cardstock. I adhered two of each strip in a vertical orientation and two in a horizontal orientation on the cart front, slightly separating each pair. I wove them for a little interest.

Using the dies in the Gift Card Holder With A Bow set, I created a bow from the Basis Dark Red and Dark Red Wine Glitter cardstock and adhered it to the cross-section of the strips. Finally, I stamped the sentiment from the All The Happy Things stamp set in Memento Rhubarb Stalk ink which I cut using the label-type die in the Decorative Sentiment Dies and popped up on 3D Foam Squares.

For the tri-fold flap, I used the larger decorative edge rectangle die in the Decorative Sentiment Dies to cut a panel from the Basis Dark Red for a gift card. I cut a slightly larger panel from Basis Natural using the paper trimmer and rounded the corners to match the corners of the decorative edge die cut. Using the Gift Card Holder Die With A Bow set, I cut a gift card holder from Fred She Said Floral Surprises digital paper and trimmed it to fit inside the decorative edges of the die cut.

For the inside, I cut a 4-1/8” x 5-3/8” panel from the same Fred She Said digital paper. I have hundreds (if not thousands) of digital paper files on my laptop and I’m going to start using them! ;) Using the smaller decorative edge rectangle die in the Decorative Sentiment Dies, I cut a sentiment panel from Basis Natural. I stamped another sentiment from the All The Happy Things stamp set in Rhubarb Stalk ink and adhered it to the inside panel.

Hey everybody, Happy New Year! Wishing you all a happy, healthy and prosperous 2025! My daughter, my firstborn, is 41 today and I don’t know how that’s possible because I’m only 29. Bahahaha! I’ve been busting at the seams to blab that I have joined the Creative Creases Challenge DT this year, and I couldn’t be more excited! You know how I love me some fun folds and this opportunity is right up my alley. This is the only challenge team I’m on now (the other five are product teams) and I’m really looking forward to sharing some fun folds. These challenges have historically been every other week on Fridays, and this year Debbie has changed the schedule to monthly challenges to give everyone more time, so come on over and play with us! Challenge #99 is live this morning and I’ve created a get well card for my debut project using the Sizzix Door Fold-A-Long Thinlits. This is a super easy card that really packs a punch and can be tailored to any season or occasion.

All the cardstock I used is from CutCardStock. I cut the card base and door accents from Lessebo Granite Gray and Shadow Gray, and the door handles from Bright Silver Foil and Stardream Metallic Silver. Next, I cut the wreath from Pop Tone Jellybean Green and flowers from Raspberry Ice and Pink Tutu cardstock. I added tiny gray gemstones to the center of each flower. The wreath can be made in any color combination for any season or occasion. So fun!

I cut the inside panel from Lessebo White cardstock and stamped a sentiment from the Stampin’ Up Hand-Penned Petals in Catherine Pooler Black Jack ink. I added a few more pink flowers, and the card was complete.

Rain Is Glitter Z-Fold

Hey everybody, happy Wednesday! And Merry Christmas to those who celebrate! I hope you’re having a fantastic week. I’m up on the Love From Lizi blog today with a tutorial for making a triple Z-fold, my debut project as a new design team member, and I’m over the moon excited! This card features our awesome Rainbow Wishes stamp set (from our newest release) along with the coordinating Nimbus Stencil, Winter Warmers 6×6 Patterned Paper Pack, Stitched Rectangles Nested Cutting Dies, and Mini Pearl Strips. You know how I love fun folds, and this one is pretty high up there on my list of all-time favorites, so I thought it would be a great design for my first Love From Lizi project!

I started by stamping the cloud and raindrops along with the sentiment from the Rainbow Wishes stamp set in Memento Tuxedo Black ink on Solar White cardstock. I cut it with a Stitched Rectangle Nested Cutting Die and then stenciled the cloud with the Nimbus Stencil, a Catherine Pooler Detail Blending Brush, and Catherine Pooler Tranquil ink. I added a tiny dot of glue to each raindrop and sprinkled on some Stampin’ Up Dazzling Diamonds glitter.

While the focal image was drying, I die cut a slightly larger rectangle using the same Stitched Rectangle Nested Cutting Dies. I cut the card base and strips from CutCardStock Basis Pink, along with layering panels from coordinating prints in the Winter Warmers 6×6 Patterned Paper Pack, and then assembled the card. The finishing touch was adding some Mini Pearl Strips across the top and bottom of the card front.

I cut the back panel from Solar White cardstock and embellished it with strips of the patterned papers used on the front. I stamped a sentiment from the Rainbow Wishes stamp set in black ink and adhered the panel to the back of the card.

Merry Christmas window easel card

Hi friends, a big ol’ Happy Friday to you all! I hope you have something fun planned this weekend. I’ve been invited once again to design for Creative Creases, and you know how much I love fun folds, so it didn’t take more than a couple seconds to say yes! Creative Creases Challenge #98 is live this morning and I’m delighted to share my window easel card featuring a stamp and dies from Art Impressions and patterned paper from Keep It Simple, two of my favorite companies.

I cut the card base from CutCardStock Basis White cardstock along with layering panels from Keep It Simple Back To Basics Jade and Back To Basics Ruby 12×12 Collection Packs. I stamped the image from the Art Impressions Christmas Drive Window Stamp on Basis White cardstock and colored it with alcohol markers. I cut the image with a die in the Art Impressions Shadow Box Window Die set, splattered some Dr. Ph. Martin’s Bleed Proof White Paint spritzed with water over it with a fan brush, and set it aside.

Using additional dies in the Shadow Box Window Die set, I die cut the window in the easel flap and then added the die cut window frame, 3D window backing and stamped image. I then die cut the bow and sentiment multiple times (using the Sizzix Ribbon Thinlits) and stacked them for dimension. The finishing touch was adding a few Taylored Expressions Bits & Pieces Iridescent Rhinestones.

And here’s one final shot of the card closed and ready for mailing. I have to say that 3D cards folding flat for mailing is pretty awesome!
