Fun Fold – Page 29 – Love To Scrap 2

You Warm My Heart

Hey everybody! Happy Thursday afternoon! I’m up on the Prickley Pear Stamps blog today with an inspiration project featuring the new You Warm My Heart digital card kit created ‘on the fly’ by Prickley Pear Stamps artist, Kayla Ruble, for Joy to use for her live today at the 2023 Virtual Maker’s Retreat! What a great job this artist did in record time! This sweet digital card kit includes two black and white line images, two pre-colored images, snowflake and heart background paper, and a sentiment panel. I used the kit to create an adorable holiday gate fold card!

Be sure to pop over and check out the happenings at the Makers Retreat going on October 3-7! Before I get to my project details, here are a few links that will surely come in handy:

I cut a standard A2 size gate fold card base from CutCardStock Basis White cardstock along with layering panels from CutCardStock Pop Tone Red Hot cardstock and the background paper in the digital card kit which I printed on Basis White. I created a layered oval panel using the Keep It Simple Stitched Ovals Nested Dies along with the sentiment panel in the kit and the Red Hot cardstock. I adhered a fussy cut pre-colored image to the panel and colored the heart on the coffee cup with a Sakura Clear Star Gelly Roll pen. I affixed Eyelet Outlet red and white polka dot washi tape to Basis White cardstock strips which I adhered down both sides. The finishing touch was adding several iridescent gemstones to the snowflakes.

I cut the inside panel from Basis White and embellished it with a CutCardStock Blue Hydrangea cardstock strip and a washi tape strip. I stamped a sentiment from the Santa Koala and Mrs Claus stamp set in Memento Tuxedo Black ink which completed the card.

The Moon Made Me Do It

11/5/23 Site-Wide Winner at The Outlawz Challenges!

Hey everybody! Happy Sunday and first day of October! I hope you’re having a great weekend! I’m having THE best time creating inspiration projects for Keep It Simple using items in the A Wee Bit Wicked Collection! The possibilities are literally endless for making too-cute-to-spook projects with all these fun stamps, dies, and die cut pieces! I created an adorable half-flap fun fold in one of my favorite color combos of yellow and purple using quite a few items in the collection and paper from two other collections!

I cut the standard A2 size side folding card base from Neenah Classic Crest 80# Solar White cardstock, cut the front flap in half horizontally, and adhered the top flap to the card base. I cut layering panels from yellow cardstock in the Craft Mode 6×9 Cardstock Pack and adhered them to the card base. I stamped a cluster of stars from The Moon Made Me Do It Stamps on the top panel and a large sentiment (from the same stamp set) on the bottom panel.

I stamped the moon, clouds, and a bat (also from the same stamp set) on Solar White cardstock and cut them with the coordinating The Moon Made Me Do It Outline Dies. I filled in the moon with Catherine Pooler Pixie Dust ink and colored the crevices with a Kirarina Wink violet marker. I affixed the bat to the moon, popping it up on a small foam square. I die cut several stars from CutCardStock Basis Black using the Halloqueen Sentiments Outline Dies and added them to the top and bottom panels.

I cut the inside panel from Solar White cardstock, adhered a sentiment from the Cards and Phrases Die Cut pieces, and layered the panel on purple cardstock from the Pajama Party 6×9 Cardstock Pack.

Howdy peeps! Happy Friday! Can you believe we only have a couple more days left of this month?! I’m excited to share another Keep It Simple DT inspiration project with you today! This awesome 6-sided pinwheel twist card features papers, die cuts and stamps in the Autumn Charm Collection! I love, love, love all the products in this collection! And you know how I love me some fun folds… I chose this particular one (from a Splitcoast Stampers tutorial HERE) so I could show off a bunch of the papers and die cuts, and I think it worked out pretty well. I’ve only made one of these 6-sided beauties prior to this one and it has not been shared yet. It’s definitely a fun one!

I cut the card base from CutCardStock Cougar Smooth 100# White cardstock along with layering panels from papers in the 6×9 Collection Pack. I assembled the card and added die cuts from the Hedgehogs Die Cut Pieces and Foxes Die Cut Pieces to all the larger panels. I stamped a sentiment from the Autumn Sentiment Stamps in Memento Tuxedo Black ink on a pumpkin on one of the panels, which completed the card. LOVE how this turned out!

Hey everybody! Happy Saturday! Well, another week has come to a close and I hope you have something fun planned this weekend! I’m delighted to be back with another Keep It Simple DT inspiration project to share today! I’m always in the mood to create a fun fold and the front step card is one of my all-time favorite folds. I used papers and die cut pieces from the Farmhouse Fall Collection that I totally love. Warm, cozy and inviting are the best three words I can think of to describe this Autumn/Fall-themed collection!

I cut the card base from Neenah Classic Crest 80# Solar White cardstock along with layering panels from the 12×12 Cardstock Pack and 6×9 Collection Pack. I assembled the card, using several die cuts from the Falling For You Die Cut Pieces along with several adhesive buttons from the Clementine collection.

I cut the back panel from Solar White cardstock and embellished it with strips of the papers from the 12×12 Cardstock Pack and 6×9 Collection Pack used on the front along with another die cut piece.

Hi friends! Happy Friday to you all! I’ve been invited by the lovely Debbie to guest design once again for Creative Creases Challenges! As always, the challenge is ‘anything goes with a fun fold’ and I’m super stoked to share my GD inspiration project for Challenge #66! You know how much I love fun folds, so these challenges are always right up my alley! I created a super cute double gatefold card using items in the Keep It Simple Boys Boys Boys collection! I totally love this fold!

I cut the card base from a double-sided paper in the Keep It Simple Boys Boys Boys 12×12 Collection Pack. I die cut a stitched circle (for the focal image) from a patterned paper in the Keep It Simple Royal 12×12 Collection Pack using the Keep It Simple Stitched Circles Nested Dies. I adhered a dirt bike sticker from the die cut sticker sheet in the Keep It Simple Boys Boys Boys 12×12 Collection Pack along with a sentiment sticker that I popped up on a double-sided foam strip. The finishing touch was adding two corners from the ephemera sheet in the Royal 12×12 Collection Pack.

I cut the inside panel from Neenah Classic Crest 80# Solar White cardstock and embellished it with a leftover strip of the patterned paper used for the die cut circle on the front. I added a sentiment sticker from the Boys Boys Boys 12×12 Collection Pack and then stamped an additional sentiment from the Keep It Simple Birthday Sentiments stamp set in Memento Tuxedo Black ink.

Hi everyone! Well, it’s a just tad bit chilly this morning and we’re supposed to have sunshine today, so it’s going to be a beautiful day! I have an amazing ScrapbookingStore DT inspiration project to share with you today created with the awesome September 2023 Scrapbook Kit with Upgrades! I created a stand-up box card which is a little bit different than the box cards we typically see. I’ve made a few of these over the years and they sure make a statement! This one features papers and stickers from this month’s collection along with chipboard accents and chipboard phrases from the upgrades!

I cut the card base and stand-up panel from CutCardStock Basis 110# Natural cardstock along with layering panels from coordinating prints in the kit. I dug into the upgrades and added a bicycle from the chipboard accents and a chalkboard from the chipboard phrases which I embellished with some stickers from the sticker sheet for a little interest. I added several more chipboard accents from the upgrades to the front of the box portion. The finishing touch was adding several red gemstones to the stand-up panel.

This card folds flat for mailing and is a standard A2 size when folded. The plus is that it’s really a simple design that doesn’t require a long list of supplies! So fun!

Hey everybody! Dang, can you believe how fast the time is flying?! We’re already headed into the middle of September! I’m up on the Prickley Pear Stamps blog today with an inspiration project featuring the new Christmas with Spinach and Ramona stamp set! This is one of the cutest stamp sets I have ever had in my hands and I created an inverted standing triple panel card to show off these adorable little critters!

I cut the card base and front panel from CutCardStock Basis 80# White 12×12 cardstock. I stamped the image from the Christmas with Spinach and Ramona stamp set on the front panel and colored it with alcohol markers, adding some accents with metallic pens. I stamped snowflakes all over the card base and front panel and added clear iridescent gemstones to the center of random snowflakes for some pretty sparkle. I stamped the sentiment on Basis White, trimmed it into three strips, and added it to the front which completed the card.

Howdy peeps! I hope you’re having a great weekend! Our new challenge is live this morning over at Ally’s Angels and I’m thrilled to share my DT inspiration project for Challenge #74! I created a nature-themed triple cube card. I’m totally addicted to this fun fold! Despite the complex look, this one is really pretty simple and I’ve made quite a few of these over the past couple years. They are so fun to embellish!

I cut the card base from Neenah Classic Crest 80# Solar White cardstock along with layering panels from a variety of KNC Essentials papers (Showering Nature 12×12 paper pack, Stories of the Wild 12×12 paper pack and Stories of the Wild 6×6 paper pack) and CutCardStock Bright Silver Foil cardstock. Each panel was embellished with ephemera from the KNC Essentials Stories of the Wild Ephemera pack.

The two back panels were cut from 80# Solar White and CutCardStock Bright Silver foil cardstock and embellished with a couple more critters from the KNC Essentials Stories of the Wild Ephemera pack. I stamped a sentiment from KNC Essentials Stories of the Wild stamp set in Memento Tuxedo Black ink which completed the card.

Fall is my Season

Hey everybody! I hope you’ve had a great week and you have something fun planned this weekend! I have an amazing ScrapbookingStore DT inspiration project to share with you this morning created with the awesome September 2023 Scrapbook Kit with Upgrades! This Autumn/Fall-themed collection has some of the most beautiful papers I’ve ever seen. I used papers and elements from the Frames & Tags and Chipboard Phrases in the upgrades for this double flap fun fold. I have a huge fun fold tutorial arsenal with many versions of the ‘double flap’ fun fold. This version has three sentiment panels and I love how it turned out! It has been a minute since I made one like this, and you’ll be seeing this fun fold again soon! I had forgotten how cool it is!

I cut the top-folding bi-level card base from a striped paper along with a wood-look layering panel for the second layer. I die cut a tag from a coordinating paper and another one from CutCardStock Basis Natural cardstock using the STAMPlorations Stitched Tags Nesting Dies. I adhered them together and then to the short flap. I added an element from the Chipboard Phrases in the upgrades and a white twine bow, and then added several Keep It Simple Mango Enamel Dots to the sides of the short flap.

I cut the top-folding second layer from Basis Natural and adhered the wood-look layering panel to it along with an element from the Frames & Tags in the upgrades.

I embellished the inside of the second layer with a strip off the edge of one of the patterned papers in the kit and another element from the Frames & Tags in the upgrades. I love that there are three sentiments on this card – each layer you lift reveals another one!

Hey everybody! I hope you’re having a great week so far! I’m back with my second post this morning and this one is a super cute Keep It Simple DT inspiration project created with items in the NEW too-cute-to-spook A Wee Bit Wicked Collection! OMGoodness, I’m having THE best time with this collection! I’ve made another swing flap card which has quickly climbed to the top of my all-time favorite fun folds! It packs such a punch and is great for any occasion!

I cut the card base from CutCardStock Basis Black cardstock along with a layering panel from a spider web print in the A Wee Bit Wicked 12×12 Collection Pack. I adhered the witch and cloud (from the Wee Bits Die Cut Pieces) to a square cut from Basis Black using the Stitched Squares Nested Dies. I added the front sentiment, a black and white striped strip and stars from the Cards and Phrases Die Cut Pieces, which completed the card front.

I layered an orange dot panel from the 12×12 Collection Pack on the inside, then stamped a sentiment in Memento Tuxedo Black ink from the Halloqueen Sentiments stamp set and cut it with the coordinating Halloqueen Outline Dies. I also added another star from the Cards and Phrases Die Cut Pieces and a cat from the Wee Bits Die Cut Pieces to complete the inside.
