Fun Fold – Page 15 – Love To Scrap 2

feel better friend

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

12/21/24 Weekly Favorite at Splitcoast Stampers!

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!

Wishing You A Very Merry Christmas

Hey everybody, I hope you’re having a great day! I’m delighted to share a Scrapbook Pal DT inspiration project created with some super fun Lawn Fawn products which are all available on the Scrapbook Pal website. I used the Shutter Card dies, Shutter Card Add-On dies, Scalloped Circle Gift Tag dies, and White Hemp Twine. Now how’s that for one-stop shopping, lol?! I’ve made several shutter cards over the years, all with hand-cut pieces, and when I discovered these Lawn Fawn dies, I knew those days of hand-cutting the shutter card pieces were over. Dang, what a game-changer!

Using the Lawn Fawn Shutter Card dies, Shutter Card Add-On dies and Scalloped Circle Gift Tag dies, I cut the card and belly band pieces from CutCardStock Basis White and Pop Tone Red Hot Cardstock. Then I cut the layering pieces from coordinating prints in the Traci Vanover Designs Peppermint Christmas 6×6 paper pad.

This awesome paper pad also has sheets of ephemera so I fussy cut some for the front and inside. I also added a white twine bow (created from Lawn Fawn Trimmings White Hemp Twin) and some red gemstones to the element on the belly band which completed the project. Here is a shot of the shutter opening…

And here is the shutter completely open to see that fun sentiment cut from the ephemera sheet in the paper pad! ;)

Hey everybody! I hope you’re having a fabulous weekend – only one more weekend before the big guy in the red suit gets here! I’m stoked to share an inspiration project for Keep It Simple with you today. I created this open box card with papers, stamps and dies in our new O Holy Night Collection and I love how it turned out. I have instructions for this fun fold (which folds flat for mailing) on the Freebies page on my blog HERE if you’re interested in learning how to make it. It’s an easy and super fun card to decorate.

I cut the card base from CutCardStock Basis Blue cardstock along with layering panels from several coordinating prints in the O Holy Night 12×12 Collection Pack. I stamped a sentiment and several images from the O Holy Night Collection Stamps on Basis White cardstock in Memento Tuxedo Black ink. I colored the images with alcohol markers, adding some details with a Sakura Clear Star Gelly Roll pen and a gold Pentel Slicci pen. I cut the images with the coordinating Outline Dies and trimmed the sentiment, and built the scene on the card layers, popping some of the elements up on adhesive foam squares and the star on an acetate strip.

I cut the back panel from Basis White cardstock and embellished it with a strip of patterned paper from the Collection Pack and a stamped and die cut sentiment.

Hi friends! I hope you are having some fun this weekend, despite the cool weather! Our new challenge is live this morning over at Ally’s Angels and I’m thrilled to share my DT inspiration project for Challenge #89. This is my last inspiration project for Ally’s Angels, as I have handed off all my challenge blogs effective January 1, 2025. Our challenges are always ‘anything goes’ so come on over and play! I created one of THE most fun box cards ever using the Amazing Paper Grace/Spellbinders 3D Vignette Bubble Gum Machine die set and quite a variety of CutCardStock colors of cardstock. I mean… look at this… how stinkin’ cute?!

I cut the bubble gum machine from red, black and silver cardstock; the coin receptacle from Bright Silver Foil; a coin from Bright Gold Foil; and the gum balls from blue, yellow, green, orange, purple and pink. There’s even some acetate on the front to make it look a little more realistic. The assembly is always the most fun–it’s a joy watching 3D projects like this come to life!

I used a Keep It Simple Stitched Squares Nested Die to cut a panel for the back to write a message and sign. And one final photo of the card folded flat for mailing.

Hey everybody! It’s Sunday and I hope you’re having a great weekend! I’m stoked to share a Keep It Simple DT inspiration project with you today created with our new KIS Cuts Circular Pop-Up: Scallop dies. These pop-up die sets are so stinkin’ fun I can’t stand it, and I’ve now showcased projects using all three sets so I feel complete, lol! This Christmas version features papers from our new Here Comes Santa Claus Collection, our red gingham ribbon, and a variety of shaker bits from our Sprinkles line.

I used our new KIS Cuts Scallop Circular Pop-Up dies to cut the base from CutCardStock Lessebo Dawn Maroon cardstock along with stitched square layering panels cut from assorted prints in the Here Comes Santa Claus 6×9 Collection Pack. I stamped several images from the Here Comes Santa Claus Collection Stamps on CutCardStock Basis White in Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored them with alcohol markers. I cut them with the coordinating Outline Dies and used them to embellish the sections of the pop-up.

I used some red gingham ribbon from our Back To Basics Stars & Stripes Ribbon for the closure. I created a shaker for the front which features six varieties of our Sprinkles in Christmas colors. I also used several sentiments from the cut-apart sheet in the paper collection.

Hey everybody! I hope you’ve had a great week and have something fun planned this weekend. I’m up on the Emily Moore Designs blog today with a DT inspiration project featuring our Gift Card Holder Die With a Bow
and Mini Gift Tag Holiday Sayings (free download). I created a fun sloth-themed diagonal pocket card (one of my favorite fun folds) as my debut project for this new design team and I’m over the moon excited!

The card base is 5-1/2″ x 8-1/2″ and scored at 4-1/4″ which I cut from CutCardStock Astrobrights Eclipse Black. I sliced the front flap off at an angle (from top left to bottom right) and adhered two prints from the Traci Vanover Designs Embrace The Chill 6×6 paper pad to the diagonal flap and inside back. Next, I glued the flap across the bottom to form the pocket and added horizontal and vertical strips cut from CutCardStock Habanero Red to align with the bow detail on the mini card. The finishing touch was adding three trees to the card base, fussy cut from an ephemera sheet in the sloth paper pad.

I created the base for the mini card using the gift card holder die in the set, cut from the Astrobrights Eclipse Black cardstock. I cut a flap from another print in the sloth paper pad measuring 3-1/2″ x 5-1/4″ and scored at 1/2″ on the long side, which I adhered to the gift card holder base. Using the bow dies in the set, I created the bow from the Habanero Red cardstock and set it aside. I cut another set of horizontal and vertical strips which I adhered to the front of the mini card, lining up with the strips on the card base. I adhered the bow, popping the left side up on adhesive foam squares so the mini card will slide in and out of the pocket nicely.

I printed the Mini Gift Tag Holiday Sayings on Neenah Classic Crest 80# Solar White cardstock. I cut one of them with the mini gift tag die in the set, tied a gold metallic thread bow, and adhered it with a thin adhesive foam square. I fussy cut a couple more pieces of ephemera from the sloth paper pad and adhered them to the inside center of the mini card base so they’re hidden under the gift card.

Hey everybody! Happy Monday – can you believe we’re already in December?! Yep, that jolly little man in the red suit is gonna be here quick so I hope you’re ready! I’m absolutely delighted to share a Keep It Simple DT inspiration project with you created with items in our NEW Once Upon A Time: Jasmine Collection! This mini bendi card is one of the easiest-ever fun folds and it sure packs a punch. It’s funny how these collections ‘speak’ to me most of the time when I’m deciding on what kind of card to make. And when that happens, the cards come together so easily. This is definitely a fun one to make and you’ll find instructions in the Freebies section of my blog HERE if you’d like to learn how to make it.

I cut the card base and the bendi pieces from CutCardStock Lessebo Aubergine cardstock along with layering panels from coordinating prints in the Jasmine 12×12 Collection Pack. I cut a heart strip from the cut-apart sheet and then dug into the Jasmine Die Cut Pieces to create the scene, popping some up on adhesive foam squares.

I cut two back panels from Neenah Classic Crest Solar White cardstock and embellished them with the leftover pieces of the heart strip (from the cut-apart sheet) used on the front. I left these back panels blank to write a custom message.

fall is the best season

Hi friends! As I sit here looking outside at the snow we got last night, I’m reminded of how blessed we are. So many people don’t care for snow but Ed and I absolutely love it. I’m delighted to share a Keep It Simple DT inspiration project with you this morning created with our new Nuts About Fall Collection. This one is called a building block card and is such a fun card to make -it really packs a punch when the recipient opens it up! This is the second or third one I’ve made, and my inspiration comes from THIS Splitcoast Stampers tutorial.

I cut the card base from CutCardStock Jet Stream Blue cardstock along with layering panels from CutCardStock Lessebo Coffee Bean and an assortment of prints in the Nuts About Fall 12×12 Collection Pack. I used a journaling card, a fussy cut floral and a word from the cut apart sheet as the focal image. I popped the ‘fall’ up on several adhesive foam squares and added several Back To Basics Mango Enamel Dots which completed the card front.

The inside is where it’s happening on this card! I adhered the pieces to the sections on the inside and used the KIS Cuts Twinkling Stars Font dies to cut the ‘I LOVE FALL’ sentiment. Isn’t this fun?!
