Fun Fold – Page 30 – Love To Scrap 2

Have a Toadally Merry Christmas

9/17/23 Rising Star at A Place To Start!

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!

9/15/23 Top 5 at Halloween Crafts All Year ‘Round!

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.

Here’s a shot of the card folded flat for mailing. Swoon! I SO love this fold!

Super Fantastic Mega News!

Happy Hump Day, everybody! I hope you’re having a great week! I’m up on the CutCardStock blog today with an awesome DT inspiration project featuring our Basis White, Basis White 12×12, Royal Sundance Linen Eclipse Black and Silk Glitter Black Prince cardstock. I created a pretty tri-fold congratulations card in a gorgeous black and white color combo. You know how I love me some fun folds! I made one similar to this recently with oval panels. The best part of this particular design is being able to make the panels whatever shape you want! ;)

I cut the tri-fold card base from Basis 80# White 12×12 cardstock along with layering panels from Royal Sundance Linen Eclipse Black cardstock. I then die cut decorative panels for the three panels from Basis 80# White 8.5×11 cardstock along with slightly smaller ones from Doodlebug Design Floral-Graph and Buffalo Check-Woodgrain Rainbow Petite Prints. I used the old-as-the-hills Spellbinders Nestabilities Labels Seventeen dies which I’m sure I’ve had in my stash (along with many others in this line) for close to ten years, lol!

Using the Stampin’ Up Blossom Bunch Punch, I punched quite a few flowers from Silk Glitter Black Prince cardstock and Basis White cardstock, and added Eyelet Outlet Black Enamel Dots to the centers of each. I adhered them across the bottom of the three panels and on each decorative panel. I stamped the sentiments from the Stampin’ Up Charming Sentiments stamp set in Catherine Pooler Black Jack ink and cut them with the coordinating Stampin’ Up Sentiment Silhouettes Dies.

I cut a small signature panel for the back from Basis White which I layered on a coordinating Doodlebug Design pattern.

A Wee Bit Wicked

Hey everybody! Happy Tuesday to you! I have a FABulous Keep It Simple DT inspiration project to share today created with items from our newest collection, A Wee Bit Wicked, that was released yesterday! We have been chomping at the bit for release day to arrive and we’re super excited to share our projects with you! You know how I love me some fun folds, so I created a double easel fold featuring papers, stamps, dies and die cut pieces! Oh my goodness, so much fun! And before I forget, coupon code WICKED10 gets you 10% off items in the A Wee Bit Wicked Collection! What a sweet deal! ;)

I cut the card base from Neenah Classic Crest 80# Solar White cardstock and the scored panel and a die cut oval from CutCardStock Basis Black cardstock. I cut layering panels and another die cut oval from papers in the 6×9 Collection Pack. I stamped the witch, broom and kitty in Memento Tuxedo Black ink and the pumpkin in Concord & 9th Marmalade ink on Solar White cardstock, and colored the witch and broom with alcohol markers. We hadn’t received the coordinating Best Witches dies yet because of a shipping delay so I fussy cut the images for this card. But the dies have come in and are available on the website. Dies are SO much easier than fussy cutting, lol! ;)

I embellished the tall panel with a large spider web and spider from the Wee Bits Die Cut Pieces. Then I layered the die cut ovals (cut with the Stitched Ovals Nested Dies) on the short front panel along with the stamped and colored images. I finished the card front with a few stars and a sentiment from the Wee Bits Die Cut Pieces

I cut the inside panel from Solar White cardstock and embellished it with strips of the patterned paper from the 6×9 Collection Pack and CutCardStock Basis Black cardstock used on the front. I stamped the sentiment from the Halloqueen Sentiments Stamps in Tuxedo Black ink on a scrap piece of Solar White cardstock and cut it with the coordinating Halloqueen Outline Dies.

Hey everybody, Happy Monday! It’s the middle of August already and I’m telling you it’ll be Christmas before we know it! I’m up on the Prickley Pear Stamps blog today with an inspiration project featuring the new Thanks stamp set and coordinating Thanks die set! It’s been a minute since I made a tri-fold card and this one has panels on it rather than the typical slanted edge. I can’t say enough about these stamps and dies. Everybody needs thank you cards in their stash and those with a large sentiment sure speak volumes!

I cut a basic tri-fold card base from CutCardStock Basis Natural cardstock along with a layering panel from a floral print in the Melissa Frances 5th Avenue 6×6 paper pad. I stamped the large sentiment, two butterflies and a dragonfly from the Thanks stamp set on Basis Natural and colored them with alcohol markers. I fussy cut the letters and die cut the butterflies and dragonfly with the coordinating dies in the Thanks die set.

Using the Keep It Simple Stitched Ovals Nested dies, I die cut three ovals for each of the panels from Basis Natural and additional prints in the 5th Avenue paper pad, layered them and adhered them to the card base. I added the main sentiment to the first panel and stamped the remaining parts of the sentiment as well as leaf images (from the same stamp set) on the two subsequent panels. I embellished the front panel with a duplicate fussy cut floral image popped up on small foam pads and one of the butterflies, then added the other butterfly and the dragonfly to the other panels. The finishing touch was adding clear iridescent gemstones (colored with an alcohol marker) to each of the panels.

Hey everybody! Dang… every time I blink another week has gone by! It’ll be Christmas before we know it! But for now, I’m delighted to bring you another Autumn-themed project from Keep It Simple featuring papers, stamps and dies along with die cut pieces from the new Autumn Charm Collection! You know I’m a fun fold fanatic and I’ve created a super adorable hidden message slider card! Yep, it looks pretty nonchalant when it’s closed, but pull the slider back and it reveals a hidden message! So cute I can’t stand it!

I created the base from CutCardStock Cougar Smooth 80# White cardstock, cutting part of it with my Fiskars 12″ SureCut paper trimmer. I’ve had this paper trimmer for quite some time and it is THE best for cutting areas in the middle that aren’t cut from edge to edge. I cut layering panels and a frame from coordinating papers in the Autumn Charm 12×12 Collection Pack and assembled the base card. I used Darice double sided foam strips under the frame so there’s a little ‘wiggle room’ for the slider to go in and out. I also used a Stampin’ Up 1″ circle punch for the thumb notch and some Hemptique crafting cord for the pull on the slider.

I stamped the image from the Autumn Charm Fox & Hedgehog Stamps on Cougar Smooth 100# White cardstock in Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored it with alcohol markers. I cut the image with the coordinating Autumn Charm Fox & Hedgehog Outline Dies and adhered it to an oval die cut created with the Stitched Ovals Nested Dies. I cut the actual hidden message from a card in the Autumn Charm Autumn Hedgehogs Die Cut Pieces using a die in the Stitched Circles Nested Dies. The finishing touch was adding an Eyelet Outlet beige pearl strip.

Here’s one last shot of it folded flat for mailing. So fun! Unfortunately, I don’t remember specifically where I saw this fold – my instructions are handwritten. But if you’re interested, you can Google ‘hidden message slider card’ and quite a few photos and tutorials pop up. It looks complicated but it’s really fairly easy. ;)

Enjoy The Journey diorama

Hey everybody! Happy Saturday! I hope you have something fun planned this weekend! I have another ScrapbookingStore DT inspiration project that I’m thrilled to share with you today created with the amazing August 2023 Scrapbook Kit with Upgrades! This travel-themed collection is so fun and the sky is the limit with what you can create! I absolutely love diorama cards and this one features papers and stickers along with chipboard accents, adhesive brads and ephemera from the upgrades. And the trio of postage stamp images on the inside are cute, cute, cute!

I cut the diorama card base from Neenah Classic Crest 80# Solar White cardstock and a layering panel from a patterned paper in the kit. I embellished the panel with stickers from the sticker sheet along with a chipboard element and adhesive brads from the upgrades.

I die cut the trio of apertures into the inside flap and layering panel using the Your Next Stamp Peek A Boo Trio die set. I embellished the panel with stickers from the sticker sheet. Using the Keep It Simple Stitched Squares Nesting Dies, I cut three faux stamps from a paper in the collection and adhered them beneath the apertures.

I cut the back panel from 80# Solar White cardstock and embellished it with a strip of patterned paper and some ephemera from the upgrades.

Life Is An Adventure

Hi everyone! I hope you’re having a great week – it’s rapidly coming to an end, lol! I’m thrilled to be back to share another ScrapbookingStore DT inspiration project with you today created with the amazing August 2023 Scrapbook Kit with Upgrades! This super cute travel-themed fold out panel card features papers and stickers along with ephemera and adhesive brads from the upgrades. I totally LOVE this collection, and this fun fold is a great way to showcase the products in it! It’s been a few years since I made one of these (October 2018 to be exact, lol) and you can see it HERE if you’re interested in looking. I reversed the fold out panel on this one to switch it up a bit. ;)

I cut the card base and a layering panel from CutCardStock Stardream Metallic Azalea cardstock. I cut the fold out panel from Neenah Classic Crest 80# Solar White cardstock and embellished it with panels cut from an assortment of patterned paper in the kit, stickers from the sticker sheet, and ephemera from the upgrades. I die cut a stitched square using the Keep it Simple Stitched Squares Nested Dies for the focal element on the front, and adhered a sentiment from the ephemera pack and a chipboard element. The finishing touch was adding several adhesive brads from the upgrades.
