Fun Fold – Page 30 – Love To Scrap 2

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! 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. ;)

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.

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.

Here’s a shot of the fold out panel opened up.

I cut the back panel from 80# Solar White cardstock and embellished it with a trimmed journaling card layered on a stitched square die cut.

Hey everybody! I hope you’re having a FABulous week! Our new challenge is live this morning over at Ally’s Angels and I’m super stoked to share my DT inspiration project for Challenge #73! All of our challenges are Anything Goes and we’d love for you to link up with us this month! I created a pretty front flap card (which seems to have become one of my most favorite fun folds) employing the random inking technique which really yields an amazing result!

I cut the front flap card base from Neenah Classic Crest 110# Solar White cardstock along with layering panels from Keep It Simple Ruby 12×12 Collection Pack. I stamped the image from the Stampin’ Up Eden’s Garden stamp set in Ranger mowed lawn, fired brick, pine needles and frayed burlap distress inks. I stamped the sentiment (from the same Stampin’ Up stamp set) in Memento Espresso Truffle ink, cut it with a Spellbinders Classic Ovals Small die, and layered it on a slightly larger oval cut with a Spellbinders Classic Ovals Large die. The finishing touch was the addition of several Taylored Expressions Silver Drip Drops.

I embellished the inside of the front flap with a coordinating strip of paper from the Keep It Simple Ruby 12×12 Collection Pack, and stamped the sentiment (also from the Stampin’ Up Eden’s Garden stamp set) in Memento Espresso Truffle ink.

Hey everybody! Happy Weekend… it’s almost over! Just like that! I’m stoked to be back with another Keep It Simple DT inspiration project to share created with the new Autumn Charm Collection! Oh.My.Goodness. Just when I think they can’t come up with anything cuter than what they’ve already released… BOOM, there it is! There are so many adorable papers, stamps and dies, and die cuts in this collection, I can’t stand it! Pumpkins, mushrooms, foxes, hedgehogs and all kinds of critters! And you know how I love me some fun folds, so I created a triple cube card showcasing lots of papers and die cuts!

I cut the card base from CutCardStock Basis 80# Natural cardstock and assembled it. Using the Stitched Squares Nested Dies, I cut six stitched squares from papers in the 6×9 Collection Pack which I layered onto slightly larger square panels cut from CutCardStock Pop Tone Hot Fudge cardstock. I embellished each of the squares and created a sentiment panel with die cuts from the Autumn Foxes and Autumn Hedgehogs Die Cut Pieces.

I cut the back panels from Basis Natural cardstock and embellished them with die cuts from the Autumn Foxes and Autumn Hedgehogs Die Cut Pieces. I stamped a sentiment from the Autumn Sentiments stamp set in Memento Rich Cocoa ink and layered the panels on Hot Fudge cardstock.

happy birthday to you

Hi friends! Happy Thursday! We’re another day closer to Friday so that’s a big YAY for all my working friends! I’m back this morning with another Splitcoast Stampers Dirty Dozen DT inspiration project featuring some gorgeous patterned papers and die cuts and a fabulous fun fold called a reverse easel card! I’ve had these instructions in my tutorial folder for quite some time and have never made one so I thought it was time to try it out! I love how it turned out!

I cut the card base from CutCardStock Basis 80# White 12×12 cardstock along with embellishing panels from Craft Consortium Ink Drops-Vivid 6×6 paper pad. I used the My Favorite Things Double Stitched Square STAX to die cut two squares which I layered on slightly larger squares cut from CutCardStock Curious Metallic Gold Leaf cardstock.

I used the My Favorite Things Stitched Pinking Edge Square STAX to cut panels from a pretty butterfly print in the Kraft & Creativity Showering Nature 12×12 paper pack. I fussy cut a butterfly and adhered it to a Basis White cardstock scrap for stability, and adhered it to the base for an easel stop. I added the sentiment die cut from Gold Leaf cardstock using the My Favorite Things Swirly Birthday die. The finishing touch was adding several YNS Purple Glitter Gumdrops.

I do believe in fairies

Hi friends! I hope you’re having a great week! It’s so hard to believe we’re a couple days into the month of August already! I’ve been saying for years that once my sister’s birthday hits on the 8th, Christmas is here in no time! I’m delighted to share that I’m once again guest designing for Penny’s Paper-Crafty Challenge Blog! One of my projects scored a win at Penny’s back in mid-June so I was invited to join in Challenge #552! SheepSki Designs is our sponsor this time, so be sure to come on over and play! I was gifted the adorable Buttercup Cottage digital image for this challenge and created a swing flap fun fold with a fairy theme. I totally love how this turned out!

I cut the card base from CutCardStock Basis 80# White cardstock along with layering panels from coordinating prints in the Doodlebug Design Buffalo Check-Woodgrain Rainbow Petite Prints 6×6 paper pad. I printed the SheepSki Designs Buttercup Cottage digital image and an old Melonheadz Fairies digital sentiment on Basis White cardstock and colored the image with alcohol markers and a Faber Castell artist pitt pen.

I cut the image with a My Favorite Things Double Stitched Square STAX, added three Eyelet Outlet Fairy Brads, and layered it on a square cut from a darker green patterned paper with a Keep It Simple Stitched Squares Nested Die. I punched out the digital sentiment with a Stampin’ Up 1-1/4″ circle punch and layered it on a slightly larger circle punched from a darker green patterned paper with a Stampin’ Up 1-3/8″ circle punch, popped up on Stampin’ Up Dimensionals.

I layered a coordinating buffalo check patterned paper on the inside and stamped a sentiment in Memento Tuxedo Black ink from the Keep It Simple Birthday sentiment stamp set. The final photo shows the card folded flat for mailing. A ‘fun’ fold, for sure! ;)

8/1/23 DT Favorite Winner at Classic Design Challenge Blog!

Hey everybody! How are you holding up in this heat?! Even though it’s pretty warm here in southwestern Colorado, we don’t feel the heat quite like most other central and coastal states because we don’t have as much humidity. That’s definitely a good thing! I’m thrilled to share another ScrapbookingStore DT inspiration project with you this morning created with the amazing July 2023 Scrapbook Kit with Upgrades. I’m so digging this collection of awesome papers, stickers, frames and tags, and adhesive brads! The fact that every single paper and element coordinates with all the others makes it that much more fun to create with! I made a mini slimline step card (my tutorial for this fun fold is HERE) showcasing the papers and stickers as well as items in the upgrades!

I cut the card base using my Fiskars 12″ SureCut paper trimmer and Neenah Classic Crest 80# Solar White cardstock. I cut layers from two coordinating papers in the kit as well as a length of crocheted lace from my stash. I chose the focal element from the Frames & Tags in the upgrades, and then added several stickers from the sticker sheet which I popped up on foam strips. The finishing touch was adding two adhesive brads from the upgrades.

I cut the back panel from 80# Solar White cardstock as well and embellished it with a sticker from the sticker sheet. I’ve also included a side shot so you can see the cool construction of this step card! So fun!
