Fun Fold – Page 19 – Love To Scrap 2

Trip of a Life Time

Hi friends! Happy weekend to you! I have another awesome ScrapbookingStore DT inspiration project to share with you today created with the super fun June 2024 Scrapbook Kit with Upgrades. Even though I don’t care much about traveling anymore in my old age, I totally love creating travel-themed projects, and this accordion card was no exception. It was downright enjoyable from the creation of the card base and accordion element to all of the embellishing, and it’s an easy one! As with the other projects I’ve created so far with this month’s collection, I have instructions HERE in the Freebies section of my blog if you’re interested in learning how to make this card.

I cut the card base from CutCardStock Basis Dark Red cardstock along with the front layering panel and inside accordion layer from coordinating papers in the kit. I embellished the front with a tag from the paper pack and a sticker from the sticker sheet, added some ribbon from Really Reasonable Ribbon, and popped the tag up on foam strips. I added several elements from the upgrades which completed the front.

I used circle punches in my stash and alpha stickers from the sticker sheet to create the inside sentiment. I added a signature panel cut from Neenah Classic Crest Solar White that I embellished with an additional sticker from the sticker sheet.

Published again!

Hey everybody, I hope you’re having a great Friday! I’ve popped in today with a random post. I was going through some Facebook posts early this morning and saw one from mid-May about three of my cards being chosen for publication in Creative Scrapbooker Magazine‘s Summer 2024 edition. I realized I hadn’t shared this on my blog – I guess I just had too much going on. Their rules state that if a selected submission is viewable on any public gallery, it needs to be removed until after the issue is released, so I unpublished two of the three cards showcased on my blog and then republished them after the issue came out.

The first one was a pop-up block card on page 71, created with items in the Scrapbooking Store’s October 2023 Scrapbook Kit. My original blog post showcasing this design is HERE.

The second one was a swing flap card on page 72, created with items in the Keep It Simple Paper Crafts Wee Bit Wicked Collection. I no longer had the original card I submitted in my possession, so this card is a CASE’d version of that DT card (blog post is HERE).

And the third one was a triple cube card on page 74, created with a variety of KNC Essentials products. My original blog post showcasing this design is HERE.

Thanks so much for stopping by today – we’ll see you again soon!

Scrappy hugs,

Hey everybody! How’s your weather where you are? Has it gotten hot yet? It hasn’t gotten too awfully hot here yet but the bugs are out in full force, lol! I have an amazing ScrapbookingStore DT inspiration project to share with you today created with the amazing June 2024 Scrapbook Kit with Upgrades. I’ve been in a fun fold frenzy lately (or should I say still?!) and created several fun folds with this month’s collection. This triple panel is a fun one (and a little different than other triple panels I’ve made) and features papers and stickers along with items from the upgrades. It’s amazing how quickly a card comes together when you have the right papers and coordinating elements! I have instructions for this project HERE in the Freebies section of my blog if you’re interested in learning how to make it.

I cut the card base and panels from CutCardStock Lessebo Granite Gray cardstock along with layering panels from an assortment of papers in the kit. I layered the focal image on Granite Gray cardstock also and popped it up on foam strips. I added a few dimensional stickers from the upgrades to embellish the front.

I added several stickers from the sticker sheet to embellish the middle section.

And finally, I cut the inside panel from Neenah Classic Crest Solar White cardstock and embellished it with stickers from the sticker sheet and a sentiment from the upgrades.

Hey everybody! I hope you’re having a fabulous week! I have an amazing ScrapbookingStore DT inspiration project to share with you created with the awesome June 2024 Scrapbook Kit with Upgrades. I am totally loving the papers, stickers and upgrades in this month’s travel-themed kit and have thoroughly enjoyed playing! I created a vertical split panel card using several coordinating papers and a journaling card along with a sticker from the sticker sheet and two dimensional stickers from the upgrades. I have instructions for this project HERE in the Freebies section of my blog if you’re interested in learning how to make it.

I cut the card base from CutCardStock Basis Dark Red cardstock along with layering panels from several coordinating papers in this month’s kit. I chose a large journaling card from the paper pack for the front sentiment and cut it with a Keep It Simple Stitched Rectangles Nested Die. I used a couple dimensional silver arrows from the upgrades to embellish the front and added a disc magnet for a closure.

I cut the inside panels from more of the patterned papers and added a sticker from the sticker sheet for the sentiment. The kit did all the work on this super simple design!

Missing You

Hey everybody! I hope you’re having a fabulous weekend! I’ve popped in with another Pajama Crafter Stamps project to share created with the beautiful Flourished Oval-Spring stamp set and Flourished Oval die, both from Prickley Pear Stamps. This is another one from the pile of projects I created prior to leaving the team at the end of February and hadn’t yet showcased. The color yellow is so cheerful and I thought it would be great for a ‘missing you’ card. I decided on a hidden slider message card since they are so fun. ;) In addition to the flourished oval stamps and dies, I used an assortment of papers and ephemera from Keep It Simple and the Slider Surprise Die-namics from My Favorite Things.

I die cut the card base and the hidden slider elements twice, once from Neenah Classic Crest 110# Solar White and once from coordinating yellow papers in the Keep It Simple Lemon 12×12 Collection Pack, and then adhered them all together. I stamped the image from the Flourished Oval-Spring stamp set in Memento Tuxedo Black ink on a scrap piece of Solar White, colored it with markers, and cut it with the coordinating Flourished Oval die. I stamped the hidden message (from the same stamp set) and added some ephemera flowers from the Lemon collection pack on the bottom layer prior to assembling the card. I tied some yellow gingham ribbon from the Keep It Simple Lemon Ribbon pack with a piece of Doodlebug Design Lily White Doodle Twine to the pull-out mechanism. The finishing touch was adding some Keep It Simple Lemon Enamel Dots.

Too Much Space

Hey everybody, Happy Tuesday! I hope your week has started off on a nice note! I’m up on the CutCardStock blog today with a tutorial for making a front flap card which is one of my most favorite fun folds. All of our red, white and blue cardstock is on sale this month, so I used Navy Blue and White cardstock from our new Lessebo line to make this outer space themed ‘missing you’ card. How stinkin’ cute is this guy in his space craft?!

I don’t have any written instructions for this fold because I’ve been making these for years, but it really is a very simple card to make. In a nutshell, the base is a flat A2 size embellished with a patterned paper layering panel. Then a narrower top folding front flap card (any width you want) is adhered to the front. You can embellish this smaller card with the same patterned paper that you used on the base or you can use a coordinating print. The focal image can be a stamped image, a die cut, or a large sentiment, and is positioned partly off the flap for a little interest. A white panel is adhered to the inside for a sentiment and signature. That’s it! ;)

I cut the card base and front flap card from Lessebo Navy Blue along with layering panels from the Craft Consortium Ink Drops-Vivid 6×6 paper pad. I stamped the Milky Way image and sentiments from The Project Bin in Catherine Pooler Juniper Mist ink on Lessebo White cardstock, cut the image with the coordinating die and trimmed the sentiments into strips. The finishing touch was adding several Eyelet Outlet 5mm blue pearls.

I cut the inside panel from Lessebo white and added the stamped sentiment.

Halloween Hi fun fold

Hi friends, Happy Monday! I’ve popped in with another Pajama Crafter Stamps project to share created with the super cute Prickley Pear Stamps Bats and Bats 2 stamp sets along with the Bat die. This is another one in the pile of projects I created prior to leaving the team at the end of February and hadn’t yet showcased. It’s not too early to share a Halloween card, is it?! You know how I love me some fun folds, and I found a new one to try! My inspiration for this angled slide and lock card came from Lisa Curcio’s blog. She’s a fellow fun fold fanatic and I just love how she thinks. This interactive card was such fun and I see more of them in my future!
UPDATE: I have since made another slide and lock fun fold card with a hand-cut track for the sliding mechanism and a shaker as the focal image. I wrote instructions and have added them to the Freebies section of my blog HERE if you’d like to learn how to make this fun fold.

I cut the card base from CutCardStock Lessebo cardstock along with layering panels from coordinating papers in the Keep It Simple Mango 12×12 Collection Pack. The track for the sliding mechanism was cut with a Spellbinders Fancy Framed Tags One die, and the circles were cut with the Keep It Simple Stitched Circles Nested Dies. Using two of the circle dies, I cut a moon from Lessebo Sunset Orange cardstock. I pulled some iridescent star shaker bits from my stash and adhered them randomly over the stars on the patterned paper.

The front sentiment is from the Bats stamp set, stamped in Memento Tuxedo Black ink. I stamped the bat (also from the Bats stamp set), used the coordinating Bat die to cut it, and adhered it to the stitched circle with a black foam square. I cut the inside panel from Solar White and embellished it with orange and black strips cut from the papers used on the front. The inside sentiment and small bat are from the Bats 2 stamp set, also stamped in Memento Tuxedo Black ink.

You’re my Cup of Tea

Hey everybody! Happy Saturday – I hope you had a great week and you’re looking forward to a nice relaxing weekend! I’m stoked to be back with another Keep It Simple DT inspiration project to share today created with papers, stamps and dies from the new Belle Collection. This collection is darling and I thought another pop-up window card was warranted to show off this little gal. I really love this fold – it’s so easy and really packs a punch! This is actually the second one of these I’ve made and I can’t remember where I originally saw it. Just cut an aperture (of any shape) into the front flap and save the die cut shape to use for the focal image. Add a pop up mechanism (simple tubular box) to the top back of the focal image so it stands up when the card is opened.

I cut the card base from CutCardStock Lessebo Misty Blue along with layering panels from coordinating prints in the Belle 12×12 Collection Pack and CutCardStock Cougar Smooth 80# White cardstock. I cut the oval aperture into the front flap using a Back To Basics Stitched Ovals Nested Die and also cut an oval from Cougar Smooth 100# White cardstock.

I stamped the princess, the tea pot and the tea cup from the Belle Collection Stamps in Memento Tuxedo Black ink on Cougar White, colored them with alcohol markers, and cut them with the coordinating dies. I stamped the front sentiment from the same stamp set in Catherine Pooler Cove Blue ink and cut it with the coordinating die. The finishing touches were adding a couple Back To Basics Lemon Enamel Hearts and stamping an additional sentiment (from the Back To Basics Thank You Sentiments stamp set) inside in the blue ink.

Sweet Treats for a Sweet You

Hey everybody! Happy Tuesday – I hope your week has started off on a nice note! I’ve popped in with another Pajama Crafter Stamps project to share today created with the super cute Build-A-Cupcake – Christmas stamp set and Cupcake Die, both from Prickley Pear Stamps. This is another one in that pile of projects I created prior to leaving the team at the end of February and hadn’t yet showcased. This side panel pillar card is one of those fun folds that has made it to the top of my list of favorites – it’s basically a front step card in a vertical orientation.

I cut the card base and step panel from CutCardStock Twine cardstock along with layering panels from CutCardStock Kale Green cardstock and coordinating prints in the Carta Bella Christmas Collection Kit. I stamped the cupcake and sentiment from the Prickley Pear Stamps Build-A-Cupcake – Christmas stamp set in Memento Espresso Truffle ink on Twine cardstock. I colored the image with alcohol markers, cut it with the coordinating Prickley Pear Stamps Cupcake Die, and cut the sentiment with a Keep It Simple Stitched Ovals Nested Die. The finishing touch was adding several green gemstones.

Just a Note fun fold note card

Happy Saturday, friends! It’s June 1st already! I’ve popped in this morning with another Pajama Crafter Stamps project created with the beautiful Flourished Oval Sentiments and Scalloped Oval 4-Floral stamp sets by Prickley Pear Stamps which I paired with the Flourished Oval Die and Flourished Oval Nesting Dies (also from Prickley Pear Stamps). This is another one of the many projects I created prior to leaving the team at the end of February and hadn’t yet showcased. I designed this double easel note card around the patterned paper this time which I rarely do… usually I have a design in my head, grab the paper and go from there. I have to say I’m really digging this color combo!

I cut the main card base from CutCardStock Cougar Smooth #100 White cardstock along with the second part of the card base, a layering panel and a flourished die cut from CutCardStock Lessebo Misty Blue. The patterned paper is from the Spellbinders Petite Patterns 6×9 paper pad. I then cut slightly smaller and larger flourished die cuts from CutCardStock Lessebo Sweet Mint. I stamped the focal image on the smaller one, colored it with alcohol markers and added some light green gemstones. A few blue gemstones completed the card front.

I cut the inside panel from CutCardStock Cougar Smooth 80# White cardstock and embellished it with leftover strips of the patterned paper and Sweet Mint cardstock used on the front. Since this is a note card, I left the inside panel blank.
