Fun Fold – Page 24 – Love To Scrap 2

For God So Loved The World

Hi friends! I hope you’re having a beautiful weekend! How apropos to post this pretty card today, on Sunday, even though Easter isn’t for another three weeks! Our new challenge is live this morning over at Ally’s Angels and I’m delighted to share my DT inspiration project for Challenge #80! This project was among the final large batch of SVG files that I cut with my Scan N Cut prior to it’s demise a while back. It’s such a pretty design and I love how it turned out in purple and green with just a pop of gold. And before I forget, I want to mention that our challenges at Ally’s Angels will commence on the 15th of the month (and end on the 10th of the following month) beginning in April, which will align nicely with many of the other challenges out there in blogland.

I cut the card base, flap panels, cross and backing, and lilies from CutCardStock Basis White and dry embossed the flap panels with the Cuttlebug Floral Fantasy embossing folder (an oldie but goodie). I cut the ring from CutCardStock Bright Gold Foil and the cross panel from CutCardStock Pop Tone Grapesicle. Finally, the greenery was cut from CutCardStock Pop Tone Jellybean Green and Pop Tone Gumdrop Green.

I used the Prickley Pear Stamps Easter Cross stamp set for the sentiment on the back, stamped in Memento Elderberry ink.

4/5/24 Winner at Crafty Calendar Challenge!

Hi friends, Happy Friday! I hope you have something fun planned for the weekend! I’m delighted to bring you another awesome Keep It Simple DT inspiration project today! I created this fun interlocking gate fold card using papers, stamps and die cut pieces from the new Lucky Day Collection that was released last month! The products in this collection are so much fun and the sky is the limit with what you can create! I do love me some gnomes, especially the lucky kind! I’ve had handwritten instructions for this fun fold in my tutorial arsenal for a number of years and I think I may have gotten my inspiration from THIS tutorial. If you like the Keep It Simple products I’ve used and are inclined to shop, be sure to use my discount code LoveToScrap2 at checkout to save 10% on your entire order! There is no minimum purchase requirement and no usage limits, plus the code combines with product, order, and shipping discounts!

The card base and oval frame were cut from CutCardStock Scottish Highlands Green cardstock along with layering panels and an oval die cut (using the Stitched Ovals Nested Dies) from Neenah Classic Crest Solar White. I chose a couple coordinating patterned papers in the Lucky Day 6×9 Collection Pack for the front panels and an inside strip.

The image and sentiment were stamped on the oval die cut (the interlocking piece) and colored with alcohol markers, adding accents with an American Crafts Metallic Gold Marker and Sakura Clear Star Gelly Roll pen. The finishing touch to the front was adding a tiny ScraPerfect iridescent gemstone to the center of his shamrock ‘flower’.

I embellished the patterned paper strip on the inside panel with a die cut strip from the Die Cut Pieces and added a sentiment stamped with the Collection Stamps. I needed to cut a few of the little round elements off the strip so I used one of them on the tip of the gnome’s hat. ;)

Hello shaker

Hi friends! Wow, can you believe it’s March 1st already! Has the weather started warming up any where you are? It’s still pretty chilly here but it’s not unbearable. Our new challenge is live this morning over at the newly re-structured Christmas [or not] BINGO Challenges and I’m delighted to share my DT inspiration project for ConBC #6 – Anything Goes with Featured BINGO Card! I went with Column B this time and used the enamel dots, frame, shaker and clean and simple options for my card. I used two different kinds of confetti and a square shaker pouch from This Calls For Confetti along with some of my favorite sentiment dies from STAMPlorations!

I cut a standard A2 size side-folding card base from Neenah Classic Crest 110# Solar White cardstock and rounded the bottom right corner. I cut a frame from CutCardStock Stardream Metallic Lagoon cardstock using a My Favorite Things Stitched Mini Scalloped Square and a Keep It Simple Stitched Squares Nesting Die. Next, I trimmed a STAMPlorations Watercolor ATC Journaling Card to fit behind the frame and adhered it to the card base. I affixed a This Calls For Confetti square shaker pouch to the back side of the frame with 1/8″ red liner tape.

I added a pinch of Opalescent Island Blue Sequins and a pinch of Iridescent Clear Sequin Confetti (both from This Calls For Confetti) and sealed the shaker with foam strips. I added a sentiment cut from Solar White and Lagoon cardstock using the STAMPlorations Skinny Sentiments dies. The finishing touch was adding a few Eyelet Outlet White Enamel Dots.

I cut the inside panel from 80# Solar White cardstock and embellished it with a scalloped border cut from the Lagoon cardstock using a My Favorite Stamps Stitched Mini Scallop Rectangle STAX. I stamped a sentiment from the Stampin’ Up Eden’s Garden stamp set in Catherine Pooler Cummerbund ink.

Home Sweet Home mini album

Hey everybody! I hope you’ve got some fun planned this weekend… and maybe your weather is warming up just a slight bit and looking toward Spring?! It’s a busy morning here with seven of my eight challenge blogs launching new challenges. This project is for Mix It Up Challenge Blog where MIUCB #70 – Anything Goes + optional Fancy Fold is live and we’d love to see your project with two or more folds – or straight anything goes if that’s your jam! But c’mon and admit it, you know you love fun folds, so come play with us either way! I had a large time creating this house-themed mini album (tutorial from Splitcoast Stampers HERE) using the Keep It Simple Namaste Home Collection.

This Collection is on clearance over at Keep It Simple Paper Crafts and has been deeply discounted, so if you’re so inclined to go shopping, be sure to use my discount code LoveToScrap2 for 10% off your entire order! The coolest thing about our specialized discount codes is that there is no minimum purchase requirement or usage limit, and the code combines with product, order, and shipping discounts!

The mini album base and roof were cut from CutCardStock Twine 12×12 cardstock along with layering panels from coordinating papers in the Keep It Simple Namaste Home Collection. I scalloped the edges of the roof with the Stampin’ Up Scalloped Edge Punch, and then used Me & My Big Ideas washi tape, Keep It Simple Clementine pearls, and stickers from the Namaste Home sticker sheet to embellish the roof and all the sections. I used a couple disc magnets for the closure, and added a bow fashioned from some Ellen Hutson teal ribbon.

And here it is folded flat for mailing!

Mother’s Day I love you

Hey everybody! Okay, the weeks are just disappearing and this is the last Monday in February! What the heck?! I’m up on the Pajama Crafter Stamps blog today with my last inspiration project as a PCS designer. I’ve been on the Prickley Pear Stamps (now Pajama Crafter Stamps) team for almost four years and I feel like it’s time to step down and let the team of new designers shine. Since I always work ahead, I have a ton of PPS/PCS projects that were made while I was still on the team but not yet showcased on their blog, so I plan to share all of them on my blog over the next few months. It’s been a great run and I so appreciate Sharon, and now Joy, for having me along all these years! This split panel card features the gorgeous new Lovely Bouquet stamp set – I love this image and have really enjoyed creating with it. I went with a coral and green color palette and totally love how it turned out! I’ve made many split panel cards in a horizontal orientation over the years and I created this one in a vertical orientation with gatefold flaps scored and folded backwards rather than actually cutting a chunk out of the panel. I’ll be making this version of the split panel fold again for sure!

I cut a gatefold card base from Neenah Classic Crest 80# Solar White cardstock along with layering panels from coordinating papers in the Keep It Simple Ruby 12×12 Collection Pack. As mentioned above, rather than cutting a chunk out of the front flap to create the split panel, I scored each half of the gatefold and folded the flaps backwards which left a vertical split.

I stamped the front and inside sentiments and the large rose image on Solar White cardstock and colored the image with alcohol markers. I fussy cut it, adhered it to a second panel of Solar White and fussy cut it again, which yielded some nice dimension.

I trimmed the sentiment and popped it up on a foam strip. Then I added a small magnet closure (another option would be a belly band) and some gemstones from the Buttons Galore & More Pitter Patter Doo Dadz Embellishments. I added the sentiment to the inside panel along with a heart from the ephemera sheet in the Ruby Collection Pack, which completed the card.

Hey everybody! Happy Tuesday – I hope your week has started off nicely (nice and cold, perhaps?!) Bahahaha! I’m stoked to share another Keep It Simple DT inspiration project created with the Ski Resort Collection! OMGoodness, this is definitely a fun one to use for Winter-themed projects and I totally love the pink and blue color palette! I created a triple Z-fold which has quickly risen to the top of my list of all-time favorite fun folds! It’s so easy and really packs a punch! The fun part is that you can make the Z-fold strips any width you want, depending on how much of the background pattern you want to show! The instructions for this are in the Freebies section of my blog so be sure to check it out if you’d like to learn how to make it!

The card base and three Z-fold strips were cut from Neenah Classic Crest 80# Solar White cardstock along with layering panels from coordinating papers in the 6×9 Collection Pack. It’s really fun seeing this one come to life!

I used a die from the Stitched Squares Nested Dies to cut the background for the front and added an assortment of die cuts from the Scenery, Skiers & Snowboarders and Sentiment Die Cut Pieces to build the scene. I popped the sentiment and the skier up on foam strips, and then added a small knotted piece of Rose Ribbon which completed the card front.

Let’s Play explosion card

Hey everybody! Happy Saturday – can you believe we’re past the halfway point in February already?! OMG. I’m happy to share another Keep It Simple DT inspiration project created with the super fun Pure Imagination Collection! I’ve had a We R Memory Keepers Explosion Card Punch Board for quite a while and have made several explosion cards, and they are quite fun! When this collection was launched back in November, I knew immediately that I’d be making another one! The characters and sentiments are fabulous and I only wish I could be a fly on the wall when the recipients receive these cards! Confetti everywhere, lol! If you think you might want to shop at Keep It Simple, be sure to use my discount code LoveToScrap2 at checkout to save 10% on your entire order! There is no minimum purchase requirement and no usage limits, plus the code combines with product, order, and shipping discounts!

Using the We R Memory Keepers Explosion Card Punch Board, the card base was cut from CutCardStock Twine Kraft 12×12 cardstock. I cut layering panels and the confetti tray from patterned papers in the 6×9 Collection Pack. Images and sentiments from the Golden Ticket and Let’s Play Collection Stamps were stamped in Memento Tuxedo Black ink on CutCardStock Basis White cardstock, colored with alcohol markers, and cut with the coordinating Golden Ticket and Let’s Play Outline Stamps. I added a die cut square (using the Stitched Squares Nesting Dies) to one side for handwritten message and signature.

Using the same punch board, I crafted an envelope from CutCardStock Pop Tone Grape Jelly cardstock and stamped ‘hold here’ and ‘pull here’ in black ink on both the envelope and the confetti tray, which completed the project. So fun!

what’s up dog

Hey everybody! Happy Friday – I hope you have something fun planned this weekend! I’m super stoked to share a Keep It Simple inspiration project created with the Build-A-House Collection launching today, and our design team is hosting a social media hop to celebrate the launch! The hop starts this morning on the Keep It Simple Instagram page at 7:00 AM Pacific Time and ends Sunday night, February 18th. Two lucky winners will get a chance to win a stamp and die set of their choice simply by (1) liking the main Keep It Simple post on Instagram about the collection, (2) following @keepitsimplepapercrafts on Instagram or the Keep It Simple Inspiration Facebook Group, and (3) commenting on at least one of our project posts along the way on Instagram or one in the Keep It Simple Inspiration Facebook Group. Easy peasy!

Okay. So you HAVE to check out this collection, starting with the basic Build-A-House die set and then the add-on Build-A-Dogouse, Build-A-Cathouse and Build-A-Birdhouse die sets with coordinating stamp sets. Squeal! The fun seriously never ends with all these stamps and dies! I used the Build-A-House KIS Cuts, Build-A-Doghouse Stamps, and Build-A-Doghouse KIS Cuts to create this front flap friendship card. If you can’t resist the shopping bug, remember to use my discount code LoveToScrap2 at checkout to save 10% on your entire order! There is no minimum purchase requirement and no usage limits, plus the code combines with product, order, and shipping discounts!

I cut the front flap card base from Neenah Classic Crest 110# Solar White cardstock along with layering panels from a print in the Royal 6×9 Collection Pack. Using the Build-A-House KIS Cuts I die cut the base house pieces from papers in the Royal and Ruby 6×9 Collection Packs along with the Autumn Charm 6×9 Collection Pack.

I stamped the sentiment and the dog from the Build-A-Doghouse Stamps in Memento Tuxedo Black ink on Neenah Classic Crest 80# Solar White. I colored the dog with alcohol markers, fussy cut and edged him with a Tuxedo Black marker, and then cut the sentiment with a Stitched Circles Nested Die.

Using the Build-A-Doghouse KIS Cuts, I die cut the hydrant, dog bowl and grass from Lemon, Mango, and Jade 6×9 Collection Packs. I used a paper from the Autumn Charm 6×9 Collection Pack to die cut the bone. I grabbed a cloud from the Lumberjack Scene Building Die Cuts to complete the scene (which you can see with the card closed).

I cut the inside panel from 80# Solar White cardstock, stamped a sentiment from the Build-A-Doghouse Stamps in black ink, and layered the panel on a paper from the Royal 6×9 Collection Pack. Totally loving how this turned out!

Hey everybody! Happy Valentine’s Day! I hope you have a beautiful day of love! I’m thrilled to share another Keep It Simple DT inspiration project created with the new Sent With Love Collection! This collection is nothing short of amazing and so versatile – can definitely be used for occasions other than Valentine’s Day! I created a tiered pinwheel twist card in a pink and red color palette matching this collection perfectly! This is my second one and my inspiration came from Sam Calcott over at Mixed Up Craft. Be sure to check out the additional coordinating stencils, ribbons, and enamel shapes in the Keep It Simple store plus tons of NEW shaker bits! Squeal! If you are inclined to shop, be sure to use my discount code LoveToScrap2 at checkout to save 10% on your entire order!

I cut the base and tiered sections from CutCardStock Lessebo Cherry Red cardstock along with layering panels from CutCardStock Pop Tone Cotton Candy cardstock and coordinating papers from the Sent with Love 6×9 Collection Pack. This card was particularly fun to assemble and I added a variety of die cuts from the Sent With Love Die Cut Pieces and Words & Phrases Die Cut Pieces along with some enamel shapes. Here are shots of all four sides:

And one final photo of the card folded flat for mailing. So stinkin’ cute!

Howdy friends! I hope you’re having a great weekend and it’s not too cold where you are! It has been snowing for a few days here and we still have lots of snow on the ground from the last time it snowed, but it’s all good! I have a very cool ScrapbookingStore DT inspiration project to share with you today, created with the awesome February 2024 Scrapbook Kit with Upgrades! I created an all-time favorite hidden message slider card featuring papers and stickers from the kit along with tags and frames and stickers from the upgrades. I’ve had handwritten instructions for this fold in my arsenal for many years and then late last year I found a ‘slider surprise’ die set at My Favorite Things… what a game-changer! But if you’re interested in making one of these without the die set, you can find my instructions HERE.

Using the My Favorite Things Slider Surprise Die-namics, I die cut the base and pull element from CutCardStock Cougar Smooth 100# White cardstock along with layering panels for the base and pull element (using the dies a second time) from coordinating papers in the kit. I used an element from the frames and tags in the upgrades for the focal on the front and fashioned the loop for the pull element from Doodlebug Design Lily White Doodle Twine.

To create the surprise message, I adhered a sticker from the sticker sheet to a scrap of Cougar White cardstock, trimmed it and rounded the corners. I trimmed an additional patterned paper from the kit and adhered it to the inside bottom of the card base along with the surprise message and two red holographic hearts from the upgrades. Such a fun project!
