Black Cats and Furry Bats fun fold

Hey everybody! Are you working on Halloween cards or are you more of an Autumn/Fall-themed card maker? I have to admit that I typically don’t send out many Halloween cards but I’ve made quite a few this year! I have an awesome ScrapbookingStore DT inspiration project to share with you today, created with the October 2023 Scrapbook Kit with Upgrades. I love that every item coordinates beautifully with the next, and the neutral color palette really lends itself to some spooky crafting! This accordion center panel design made a most awesome Halloween card featuring papers and stickers along with chipboard accents and enamel dots from this month’s kit. I’ve once again found some inspiration from Lisa Curcio, SU demonstrator, who posted this awesome design on Instagram.

I cut the card base and folded center panel from CutCardStock Basis Dark Orange cardstock and embellished them with CutCardStock Basis Black cardstock and coordinating papers from the kit. The focal is a chipboard element from the upgrades which I adhered to the folded center panel along with several stickers from the sticker sheet. The finishing touch was adding a few enamel dots from the upgrades.

I cut the inside panel of the center folded element from Neenah Classic Crest Solar White cardstock and embellished it with strips of coordinating paper from the kit and Basis Black cardstock. I added a sentiment sticker from the sticker sheet which completed the card.

‘Hairy Scary’ Matchbook

Hey everybody! I’m back with another fun post today and I hope you aren’t getting sick of me yet, lol! I just HAD to post this Hairy Scary Matchbook that I created with the Art Impressions Halloween Matchbook stamps and dies! The Give Us A Fright Challenge #362 over at Art Impressions started yesterday and I’m all in! I love nothing more than an Ai Matchbook and it doesn’t matter to me what the occasion is!

For some reason I always reach for Polly’s Paper Studio double-sided papers to cut the Matchbook template from. I then stamped all the Halloween elements on CutCardStock Basis White cardstock and colored them with alcohol markers. The fun part of these Matchbooks is always the assembly! I LOVE watching them come to life!

Here are a few more angled shots and one with the teeny tiny envelope! So stinkin’ cute, I can’t stand it!

Ghoul Gang

Hey everybody! HaPpY fRiDaY to you! I’ve popped in this morning to share a Syncopation Design inspiration project created with the awesome Code Orange stamp set! I used quite a few stamps in this set for my card and I absolutely love how it turned out! What better day than Friday the 13th to share this cool ghoul W-fold design! I’ve made a few these in the past and always chuckle because it really should be called an M-fold! Regardless, it’s a fun one to put together! I’ve had the handwritten instructions for this in my arsenal for a number of years and don’t remember who to give credit to, but there are many tutorials out there by searching for a W-fold.

I cut the card base and inside strip and panels from CutCardStock Basis Black cardstock along with front and inside layering panels from coordinating prints in the American Crafts Halloween 6×6 paper pad. I stamped the focal image for the front in Memento Tuxedo Black ink on Solar White cardstock, colored it with alcohol markers, and cut it with an oval die from the Keep It Simple Stitched Ovals Nested Dies. I also cut a slightly larger oval from the Basis Black to layer beneath the focal image. I added a strip of patterned paper and two strips of MAMBI skinny washi tape to the top of the front panel which completed the card front.

I stamped the images for the inside on Solar White cardstock, colored them with alcohol markers and cut them with an oval die from the Keep It Simple stitched oval dies. I assembled the panels and adhered them to the strip. Such a fun, fun design!

Boo Crew box card

Howdy peeps! I hope you’re ready for the weekend and have something fun planned! I have a great ScrapbookingStore DT inspiration project to share with you today, created with the awesome October 2023 Scrapbook Kit with Upgrades! You know I’m a huge fan of fun folds and the awesome assortment of products in this month’s collection have my head spinning with ideas! This floating elements box card features coordinating papers and ghoulish character stickers along with enamel dots and a tag from the upgrades! My inspiration for this fun fold came from Sam Calcott over at Mixed Up Craft. I totally love her designs!

I cut the card base from CutCardStock 12×12 Twine cardstock and embellished it with CutCardStock Pop Tone Hot Fudge cardstock and patterned papers (on the front and inside) from the collection. I adhered five character stickers from the sticker sheet to small scraps of CutCardStock Basis White cardstock and fussy cut them. I cut a circle in the card base using the Keep It Simple Stitched Circles Nested Dies and added the ghoulish cuties across the aperture, anchoring them to an acetate strip to create the appearance of floating. I used more stickers from the sticker sheet and enamel dots from the upgrades to finish embellishing the card front.

I cut the back panel from Basis White cardstock and embellished it with a strip of coordinating paper from the kit. I added a sentiment from the Frames & Tags in the upgrades and layered the panel on Pop Tone Hot Fudge cardstock.

Dream Big fun fold

Hey everybody! Happy Thursday – it’s almost the weekend! I’ve popped in this morning to share another Syncopation Design inspiration project created with the super adorable and way amazing Cat Therapy stamp set! I can’t get enough of these kitties! And this stamp set has SO MUCH to offer with over 50 stamps in it! Dang! I created a bay window fold to show off this little guy (or gal) on a rainbow! This is a new-to-me fold that was showcased in a recent Splitcoast Stampers newsletter HERE. You know I’m always on the lookout to try new ones and this one is super easy and really packs a punch!

I cut the card base from Neenah Classic Crest Solar white cardstock and layering panels from Papertrey Ink Sweet Blush cardstock and assorted prints from the Echo Park My Favorite Summer Collection Kit. I stamped the sentiment and kitty on a scrap piece of Solar White cardstock, trimmed the sentiment and colored the image with alcohol markers. I cut the image with a Keep It Simple Stitched Circles Nested Die and a slightly larger circle from a coordinating print in the Summer collection. I added some Cosmic Shimmer Fluffy Stuff to the little clouds after adhering the circular panel to the card front. The final touch was stamping swirls (from the same stamp set) down both sides of the card front for a little interest.

I cut the inside panels from Solar White and Sweet Blush cardstock, added a couple stickers from the Summer collection to the inside, leaving it blank with plenty of room to write a custom message. The fun part is that this card folds completely flat for mailing!

Time With Friends fun fold

Hi friends! I hope you’re having a great week! I’ve popped in this morning with my second post to share a Syncopation Design inspiration project! I was gifted the super adorable Cat Therapy stamp set, and of course, being a Crazy Cat Lady, all kinds of ideas were swimming through my head! It has been a minute since I created a shutter card (shutter – as in camera) and I once again tried my hand at it and used several of the images in this stamp set. I love how it turned out! If you are a fellow cat person, you need this stamp set in your stash – it has over 50 stamps in it!

I cut the card base, inside pieces and belly band from CutCardStock Sno Cone cardstock, along with layering panels from coordinating papers in the Basic Grey Marjolaine 6×6 paper pad and Neenah Classic Crest Solar White cardstock. I stamped several images and sentiments in Memento Tuxedo Black ink from the Cat Therapy stamp set on Solar White, fussy cut them and adhered them to the belly band. I stamped a paw print and sentiment on the card front in black ink, and added several turquoise pearls.

I used circle punches to create an aperture on the inside for the shutter mechanism, and added a sticker from the 7 Gypsies Architextures Create Stash Paque. Here is a shot of the shutter opening up.

And here is a shot of the shutter completely open revealing another adorable kitty from the stamp set getting in some ‘me time.’ How stinkin’ cute is this?!

Something Wicked fun fold

Hi everyone! Happy Wednesday! I hope you’re having a great week! I have an amazing ScrapbookingStore DT inspiration project to share with you today, created with the awesome October 2023 Scrapbook Kit with Upgrades! I’m totally in love with all the coordinating products in this collection and created a spooky pop up block card. My inspiration for this fun fold came from Lisa Curcio, a SU demonstrator who posted it on Instagram. You know I’m always on the look-out for new ones to make – this is my first attempt at this particular one and I love how it turned out! It features papers and stickers from this month’s collection along with a tag and enamel dots from the upgrades, and really is quite simple despite it’s complex look!

I cut the card base and blocks from CutCardStock Basis Dark Orange cardstock and embellished the pieces with coordinating papers from the kit which I layered on CutCardStock Basis Black cardstock. The focal element is a tag from the Frames & Tags in the upgrades which I layered on a scrap piece of Neenah Classic Crest Solar White cardstock and embellished with a Doodlebug Design Lily White Doodle Twine bow. I added a bat sticker from the sticker sheet and several enamel dots from the upgrades.

I cut the back panel from Solar White cardstock and embellished it with strips of coordinating paper from the kit and Basis Black cardstock. I added a sentiment sticker from the sticker sheet and layered the panel on black cardstock.

Hello Friend

Hey everybody! Happy Tuesday – I hope your week has started off nicely! Our new challenge is live this morning over at Ally’s Angels and I’m thrilled to share my DT inspiration project for Challenge #75! I created a pinwheel twist card using my Scan N Cut, a cut file and some really pretty patterned paper from Hot Off The Press. I’ve made several 4-sided pinwheel twist cards using a cut file but have also learned to make them by hand-cutting the card base and panels (even a 6-sided one), and either way, they are fun and easy to make!

Using my Scan N Cut and the Haunted House Pinwheel Twist Card cut file (just the base pieces) from My Scrap Chick, I cut the card base and panels from CutCardStock Curious Metallic Violette cardstock and coordinating patterned papers from Hot Off The Press Lilacs In Bloom 6×6 papers. I assembled the card, adding ephemera from the paper pack to three sides and an 80# Solar White panel to the fourth side for a handwritten message and/or signature.

Autumn-my favorite time of year

Hey everybody! I hope you’re having a fabulous weekend! I’m stoked to be back with another Keep It Simple DT inspiration project to share today! This sweet mini bendi card was created with papers and die cut pieces from the newly re-released Farmhouse Fall Collection! This is definitely a wonderful time of the year and all the products in this collection are just amazing and make the most wonderful Autumn- and Fall-themed projects!

I cut the mini bendi card base, elements and layering panels from double-sided papers in the 12×12 Cardstock Pack, 12×12 Collection Pack and the 6×9 Collection Pack. I grabbed quite a few pieces of ephemera from the Falling For You Die Cut Pieces and went to town putting it all together! The finishing touch was adding a couple Jade Enamel Dots to horizontal panel. This was definitely a fun one!

I used the Stitched Rectangles Nested Dies to cut two panels from CutCardStock Basis Natural cardstock for the back, and added a couple more pieces of ephemera to complete the card.

Sending Well Wishes

Hey everybody! Happy Friday! I shaking my head at how fast this year has flown by… so hard to believe we’re in the first week of October already! I’m delighted to share that I’m guest designing once again for Cut It Up Challenges, and the theme for Challenge #288 is Favorite Color(s)! Green has always been my favorite color (although I have several others that rank right up there with it) so I went with several shades of green and several different patterned papers for this diorama get well card.

I cut the card base from CutCardStock Cougar Smooth 100# White cardstock along with layering panels from several green papers in the Keep It Simple Jade 12×12 Collection Pack. Using the Keep It Simple Stitched Squares Nested Dies, I cut a square into the inside flap and retained it for use on the front.

Using the Stampin’ Up A Fish & A Wish stamp set, Catherine Pooler Deck the Halls, Sage, Spruce, and Eucalyptus inks, and the coordinating Fish Builder Punch, I created two fish for the front and two for the inside. I adhered two of the fish on the die cut square, popping one up on a foam strip, and stamped a sentiment (from the same stamp set) in the bottom center of the square. The finishing touch was adding several light green gemstones.

I cut the background seascape panel from a scrap in the Hot Off The Press Seascapes & Sand 6×6 double-sided paper pack and added the other two fish (one popped up on a foam strip) and several more light green gemstones. Using the Keep It Simple Stitched Rectangles Nested Dies, I cut a rectangle from a lighter green paper in the Keep It Simple Jade Collection Pack and adhered it beneath the aperture. I stamped another sentiment from the Stampin’ Up A Fish & A Wish stamp set, leaving room for a signature.
