Category: Fun Fold

happy love day!

Hi friends! Hope you’re having a great week so far and it’s not too chilly where you are. It’s pretty dang chilly here (still) and as much as we love cooler weather, we’ve had enough. Bring on the Spring! Bahahaha! I have another pretty ScrapbookingStore DT inspiration project to share with you today created with items in the February 2026 Scrapbook Kit with Upgrades. I’m loving all the florals and Valentine color mixes in this month’s kit! I made a simple pillar card which has quickly risen to the top of my list of favorites, as it’s so versatile and easy to make.

I cut the card base from CutCardStock Cougar 100# Smooth White cardstock along with layering panels from papers in the kit and Cougar 80# Smooth White for the sentiment panel. I chose a piece of ephemera and a couple stickers from the sticker sheet to embellish it. I used a Love From Lizi Pinstripe Gold Peel-Off Sticker on the sentiment panel to tie in the little gold dots on the envelope.

Here’s an angled shot so you can see the simple construction. I’ve made quite a few of these with a square pillar but I think I like the rectangular one just a tad better. Like most of the fun folds I make, it folds flat for mailing and I love that!

Hey everybody! I hope your Valentine week has started off nicely! I have a pretty ScrapbookingStore DT inspiration project to share with you today created with items in the February 2026 Scrapbook Kit with Upgrades. This month’s kit features a custom paper assortment from Echo Park and Carta Bella, with a Carta Bella sticker sheet, and Prima ephemera in the upgrades. So, so pretty! If you love a mix of pinks and reds, this kit is for you!

I cut the card base and faux panel from CutCardStock Lessebo Dawn Maroon cardstock along with layering panels from assorted prints in the kit. I used several pieces of ephemera from the upgrades, and finished off the front with a few clear gemstones.

I cut the back panel from white cardstock and embellished it with a strip of paper used on the front. I added a sentiment sticker from the sticker sheet in the collection which completed the card.

Hey everybody! Happy weekend – I hope you’re doing something fun! It’s still chilly enough here to hang out inside crafting! I’m delighted to share a Keep It Simple DT inspiration project featuring papers and die cut pieces from our new My Little Greenhouse collection. I’m so in love with this collection and see lots of fun projects on the horizon. My inspiration for this back bend card came from Connie Stewart and it is a fun one that really packs a punch!

I cut the card base and front panel from CutCardStock Lessebo Ivory cardstock along with layering panels from coordinating prints in the My Little Greenhouse 12×12 Collection Pack. I chose the focal image and sentiment on the front from the My Little Greenhouse Die Cut Pieces. I added several Back To Basics Kraft Enamel Dots which completed the front.

I cut the inside panel from Lessebo Ivory cardstock and added an additional sentiment and image from the My Little Greenhouse Die Cut Pieces. I layered the panel on an additional paper from the My Little Greenhouse 12×12 Collection Pack. I’ve included one final shot of the card so you can see the fun construction. Love how this turned out!

Dude!

Hey everybody, happy first Wednesday in February! I’m up on the CutCardStock blog today with a tutorial for making a simple pillar card. You know fun folds are my jam and this design is a really easy one that can be tailored for any occasion or holiday! I used Neenah Classic Crest Solar White (in both 110# and 80# weights) and Lessebo Sunset Orange, along with some adorable stamps and dies to bring this card to life. I have to admit that I’ve had these stamps and dies for quite a while and have used them once. Not sure why because they are so stinkin’ cute and make THE best cards!

Be sure to see my tutorial on the CutCardStock blog if you want to learn how to make this fun and simple card! I used both 110# and 80# weights of Solar White cardstock along with Lessebo Sunset Orange cardstock. I also used a dotted paper from the Keep It Simple Barnyard Bliss collection as well as the older but wonderful Whimsy Stamps Hey Ostrich stamps and dies. This guy is a hoot, isn’t he?! AND I employed the Scrapbook Adhesives ‘Wear Your Adhesive On The Outside’ technique for the orange foil embellishments! Lots of fun on this card!

One last look… what do you think of this card? I’d love to know if you make one!

Hey everybody, happy weekend! I hope you have something fun planned! I have another pretty Keep It Simple DT inspiration project to share today created with papers, stamps and dies from our beautiful new La Vie En Rose collection, along with a couple other oval die sets in the store. This fold out panel card is such a joy to make and really shows off the products in this collection.

I cut the card base and layers from CutCardStock Basis Dark Red and Natural cardstock along with layering panels from assorted prints in the La Vie En Rose 6×9 Collection Pack. I also used Back To Basics Stitched Ovals Nested Dies and our new KIS Cuts Stitched Scallop Ovals for the focal panel on the front. The sentiment is from the La Vie En Rose Collection Stamps, stamped in Memento Rhubarb Stalk ink.

I stamped the large single rose from the La Vie En Rose Collection Stamps on CutCardStock Basis Natural cardstock in Memento Rich Cocoa ink and colored it with alcohol markers. I then die cut it with the coordinating Outline Stamp and added it to the inside of the card.

I cut the back sentiment panel from Basis Natural and stamped a large sentiment from the same stamp set in the red ink, which completed the card.

Scrappy hugs,

have a TEA-rrific day!

Hey everybody, happy Tuesday! I hope you’re having a great week! I’m delighted to share a Scrapbook Adhesives By 3L DT inspiration project with you today, created with a few of my essential ‘go-to’ adhesives. This faux narrow panel step card is such an easy and fun card to put together, and really packs a punch. I feel like this chilly January weather calls for a warm cuppa, so that’s the direction I went! I have several of the Altenew Mini Delights stamp and die bundles in my stash and thought this one was perfect for this TEA-riffic friendship card.

I used Spellbinders Standard Circles (Small and Large) and Classic Scalloped Circles (Large) dies to create the focal element background, using the E-Z Runner Permanent Strips Refillable Dispenser to assemble it. Then I added the stamped flowers and tea cup die cuts from the Altenew Afternoon Delights (Mini Delight) Stamps and Dies, using the Dual Tip Glue Pen and Thin 3D Foam Squares White Mix for assembly.

I cut the card base and faux narrow panel from CutCardStock Glama Kraft cardstock along with layering panels from Neenah Classic Crest Recycled Natural White cardstock and coordinating prints in the We R Memory Keepers Chalkboard 6×6 paper pad. I used the E-Z Runner Permanent Strips Refillable Dispenser to put these pieces together. I adhered the focal element to the card base with 3D Foam Squares White Mix, and then added a stamped sentiment (using the 3D Foam Squares) and some clear iridescent gemstones which completed the card front.

I cut the inside panel from Neenah Classic Crest Solar White cardstock and embellished it with a leftover strip of patterned paper used on the front. I stamped another sentiment and that completed the inside. I’ve included a side angle shot so you can see the fun construction. This is a great card that can be tailored to literally any occasion!

01/26/26 Top 3 Winner at Make My Monday Challenge Blog!

Hey everybody, I hope you’re having a good week so far! Ed and I have been down with Covid for 8-9 days now and it’s kicking my butt like nothing I’ve ever experienced. We’re both high risk and we’ve had all the vaccinations and boosters so far, so I guess we can consider ourselves lucky to have escaped it until now. I will tell you it’s some nasty stuff. So I’m a couple days late posting this beautiful card for Keep It Simple. It’s another layered diamonds pop-up card which has quickly moved to the top of my favorites list. My inspiration came from Connie Stewart and features papers and die cut pieces from our beautiful new La Vie En Rose collection.

UPDATE: This card was a true fan favorite, and on 02/10/26 a tutorial was added to the How-To’s section on the Keep It Simple website. Be sure to check it out if you want to learn how to make it!

I cut the card base and diamond layers from CutCardStock Basis Red and Natural cardstock, along with layering panels from coordinating prints in the La Vie En Rose 6×9 Collection Pack. I used image and sentiment die cuts from the La Vie En Rose Die Cut Pieces to finished off the card front.

I cut the sentiment panel on the back from Basis Natural cardstock and added a sentiment panel from the cut-apart sheet in the collection which completed the card. This is such a pretty fold, and having pretty papers and die cut pieces really takes it to the next level!

Warm Winter Wishes

Hi friends, happy happy weekend! I hope you’re having a fun one! I have had THE best time creating Winter-themed projects… ’tis the season to be freezin’, right?! I have one more ScrapbookingStore DT inspiration project to share with you today created with items in the January 2026 Scrapbook Kit with Upgrades. Now, we wait patiently for the February kit, lol! I’m sure I’ve mentioned that the triple z-fold is one of my absolute favorite fun folds and I’ve made lots of them over the past few years. I used elements from everything in this month’s collection to make this one, and I love how it turned out!

I cut the card base pieces and strips from Neenah Classic Crest Solar White cardstock along with layering panels from coordinating prints in the Carta Bella Winter Wonderland Collection Kit. I used a Love From Lizi Stitched Stitched Rectangle Nested Cutting Die to create the background for the focal panel. I added a Little Birdie Scroll Border Frame from the upgrades and then tucked a trimmed journaling card inside the frame. I finished off the front with (yep, you guessed it…) two stars from the Rosie’s Studio Glitter Foam Stickers from the upgrades.

I cut the back panel from Solar White cardstock and layered it on a green print from the collection. I added a tag from the Carta Bella Winter Wonderland Frames & Tags from the upgrades along with a die cut bow (cut with a Scrapbook.com Bow Toppers Shape Die). This fun fold design is one that never disappoints!

hello Winter

Hey everybody, happy Saturday – I hope you have something fun planned this weekend! I have another gorgeous ScrapbookingStore DT inspiration project to share with you today created with items in the January 2026 Scrapbook Kit with Upgrades. This is another version of the tri-fold which is made in a vertical orientation versus the usual one we see in a horizontal orientation. And the cool thing about this one is the bottom flap can be adhered on both sides and a gift card (or mini card) tucked in. I’ve made several of these over the past few months and I always love how they turn out! And, of course, it always helps to have gorgeous papers and elements to bring them to life!

I cut the flat card base from Neenah Classic Crest 110# Solar White cardstock and covered it with a patterned paper panel cut from a print in the Carta Bella Winter Wonderland Collection Kit. I cut the tri-fold portion of the card from 80# Solar White along with layering panels cut from CutCardStock Bright Gold Foil and a pretty floral print in the collection. I added a ‘hello’ sentiment taken from the Rosie’s Studio Glitter Foam Stickers (in the upgrades) and included the trimmed and layered ‘winter’ word from a journaling card in the collection. I finished off the front with several dots of Neptune Nuvo Crystal Drops.

I layered another print from the collection and another panel of the gold foil cardstock on the smaller flap at the bottom. That’s the one I mentioned above that could be adhered on both sides with a gift card or mini card tucked inside. I cut the sentiment panel from 80# Solar White and layered it on CutCardStock Basis Dark Orange. I added an embellishing strip and a sentiment from the Carta Bella Winter Wonderland Frames & Tags in the upgrades.

Snow Days Are The Best Days

Hey everybody, I hope your week is going along at a nice pace. Can’t believe it’s Friday already! I have another ScrapbookingStore DT inspiration project to share with you today created with items in the January 2026 Scrapbook Kit with Upgrades. This hidden gate fold is really a fun one to make that packs a punch. I made one back in September for another design team and felt like it was time to make another one to show off the pretty papers and other elements in this month’s collection!

I cut the card base and top-folding smaller card from CutCardStock Lessebo Moss Green cardstock along with layering panels from a couple coordinating prints in the Carta Bella Winter Wonderland Collection Kit. I added a trimmed journaling card from the collection as well as a piece of ephemera from the Carta Bella Winter Wonderland Frames & Tags (in the upgrades) which I popped up on foam squares. And of course I just had to add a couple stars from the Rosie’s Studio Glitter Foam Stickers (also from the upgrades). They are so pretty! ;)

I cut the inside panel of the smaller card from 80# Solar White, embellished it with a leftover strip of the green floral paper used, and added a sentiment sticker from the sticker sheet. This is such an easy card that works up in about 30 minutes!
