Fun Fold – Page 34 – Love To Scrap 2

A Simple Life

Hi everyone! I hope you’re having a good day so far! I’m delighted to be back to share another ScrapbookingStore DT inspiration project created with the amazing April 2023 Scrapbook Kit with Upgrades! The coordinating papers, stickers and upgrades in this month’s kit are pretty awesome. You know I love me some fun folds and I created a front flap card featuring paper, stickers and upgrades from this collection. I love how it turned out!

I cut a standard A2 size panel from Neenah Classic Crest 110# Solar White cardstock along with a smaller panel with a scored flap from 80# Solar White cardstock and adhered them together. I covered the panels with two coordinating papers from the kit, and added a variety of die cuts from the upgrades and stickers from the sticker sheet in collage fashion to the front flap. I also added a sentiment sticker from the sticker sheet popped up on two Darice double-sided foam strips and two Eyelet Outlet black enamel dots.

I cut the inside panel (visible from beneath the flap) from 80# Solar White cardstock, and added a sentiment and coordinating scalloped edge element from the sticker sheet and layered the panel on CutCardStock Pop Tone Black Licorice cardstock.

Dream Crazy Big

Hey everybody! Happy Sunday! I hope you’re enjoying some beautiful weather this weekend! We are finally seeing some higher temps during the day although it still gets a bit chilly at night. I’m stoked to be back with another Keep It Simple DT inspiration project to share today created with the super adorable new Pajama Party Collection! O.M.G. You haven’t seen CUTE until you’ve seen these products! I created a super cute step card using a variety of products in the collection which I paired with cardstock and dies in my stash!

Using the Creative Craft Products High Center Stepper Card die set, I cut the step card base from Neenah Classic Crest Solar White cardstock along with layers from papers in the Pajama Party 6×9 Collection Pack and Pajama Party 6×9 Cardstock Pack. Next, I die cut a stitched mini scallop circle for the front from a pretty pink paper in the Pajama Party 6×9 Cardstock Pack and a second one for the back from Solar White cardstock using the My Favorite Things Mini Scallop Circle STAX. I chose a rainbow element from the Pajama Party Cards & Ephemera Die Cut Pieces and popped it up on the front with double-sided adhesive foam strips. The finishing touch was adding several Back To Basics Black Enamel Dots.

On the back circle die cut, I stamped a rainbow in Ranger spun sugar distress ink and a sentiment in Memento Tuxedo Black ink (both from the Pajama Party Stamp Set) which completed the card.

And here’s one more angled shot so you can see how cool the construction is! I love step cards, and dies make them so easy!

Spring Bendi Card

Howdy peeps! I hope you’re having a great weekend! In my quest to finally blog a handful of projects created while our internet was down, I have another ScrapbookingStore DT inspiration project created with the March 2023 Scrapbook Kit with Upgrades. The variety of the patterned papers and coordinating stickers in the March kit is amazing. As you know, I’m a fun fold fanatic so I created a Spring-themed bendi card from patterned papers and stickers from the collection!

Using the Hot Off The Press Bendi Card Cutting Dies, I die cut the bendi card base pieces from a pretty pink plaid paper in the kit and adhered the panels to each side.

I embellished the panels with stickers from the sticker sheet, Doodlebug Design Lily White Doodle Twine, an Eyelet Outlet mini butterfly brad and several small clear Darice gemstones. This project was so easy, it practically made itself, lol! ;)

‘To someone sew nice’ Matchbook

5/7/23 Art Impressions Fan Feature!

Hey everybody! A very Happy Saturday to you all! I hope you have something fun planned this weekend! I’m stoked to share that I’m once again guest designing for the lovely Rachelle over at Scrapping4fun Challenges! One of my projects scored a Shout Out Creation honor a few weeks back, so here I am with a GD project for Challenge #222 – Ladies/Girls + Add Layers! I’m so in love with the Art Impressions Matchbook line (and several other Ai lines to be truthful!) and really enjoyed creating this sewing-themed Matchbook! It fits the theme perfectly!

Using the Art Impressions Matchbook Template Die, I cut the base from a double-sided piece of patterned paper from Polly’s Paper Studio. I stamped all the layers from the Art Impressions Sewing Room Stamps on CutCardStock Basis 80# White cardstock, colored them with alcohol markers, and cut them with the coordinating dies.

Then came the fun of assembling this adorable little Matchbook. Next I created the tiny little envelope using the Art Impressions Matchbook Envelope Dies and another double-sided patterned paper from Polly’s Paper Studio. ;)

Here are a couple more angled shots. So stinkin’ cute I can’t stand it!

You are my sunshine

Howdy peeps! Well, it’s nearly the end of March and we are still having some pretty chilly weather out here in southwestern Colorado! I’m up on the Prickley Pear Stamps blog today with a fun fold (you know how I love fun folds!) featuring the You Are My Sunshine stamp set that was just released as part of the Celestial Collection! This stamp set is so stinkin’ cute, I can’t stand it! I had a lot of fun creating this hidden message slider card with it!

I cut the standard A2 size flat card base from Neenah Classic Crest 110# Solar White cardstock along with the slider mechanism from 80# Solar White cardstock (using my Fiskars 12″ SureCut Paper Trimmer). I then cut several panels from coordinating prints in the Keep It Simple Clementine Collection Pack. I stamped the image from the You Are My Sunshine stamp set in Memento Tuxedo Black ink, colored it with alcohol markers and fussy cut it. I adhered it to a scalloped square die cut (cut with the My Favorite Things Mini Scallop Square STAX) angled into a diamond shape. I fashioned a loop from green Hemptique Earthy Pastel crafting cord for the pull tab.

I stamped the sentiment (hidden message) on the panel inside the slider and added an Eyelet Outlet 4mm pink pearl strip to the bottom of the slider, which completed the project.

Wildly chase your dreams

Hey everybody! Happy Thursday – I hope you’re having a great week! This day is very special every year – it’s my sister’s birthday and she would have been 69 today. She’s been gone a number of years and I still miss her terribly. On a brighter note, I’m up on the Prickley Pear Stamps blog today with an inspiration project featuring the new Rainbow Dreams stamp set that was released yesterday! This stamp set is part of the amazing Celestial Collection, so stay tuned for more inspiration to come! You know how I love fun folds, and this one is an interlocking gatefold! I’ve made a few of these in the past and yes, they are quite fun!

I cut a standard A2 size landscape gatefold card base from Neenah Classic Crest 110# Solar White cardstock along with patterned paper layering panels from the Keep It Simple Lilac 12×12 Collection Pack. I cut two frames from CutCardStock Bright Silver Foil using two Spellbinders A2 Matting Basics A & B dies and adhered them together for a little extra stability. I stamped the rainbow on two layered die cut rectangles (also from the Spellbinders die sets) cut from Solar White cardstock, and colored the rainbow with Kirarina Wink markers and the clouds with an alcohol marker.

I stamped the sentiment on a scrap piece of Solar White cardstock, colored it with a purple Ultra Fine Point Sharpie marker and trimmed it. I popped the sentiment up on double-sided foam strips, and added two Eyelet Outlet Enamel Hearts along with 3mm White Pearl Strips around the silver foil frame, which completed the project.

For You gate fold

Hello friends! I hope you’re having a great weekend and you’re doing something fun! We’ve been waking up to one-digit temps and we still have a couple feet of snow on the ground, so our fun is indoors where it’s warm and cozy! I’m excited to be back with another ScrapbookingStore DT inspiration project created with the amazing February 2023 Scrapbook Kit with Upgrades! I love the pages of journaling cards in this collection (with a variety of sizes) and created another fun fold featuring a larger one with some coordinating papers.

I cut the gate fold card base from Neenah Classic Crest 80# Solar White cardstock along with layering panels from CutCardStock Amaranth cardstock and a patterned paper in the kit. I die cut the journaling card from the kit with a My Favorite Things Mini Scallop Rectangle STAX die and layered it on a rectangle panel cut from CutCardStock Basis Green cardstock and a slightly larger mini scallop rectangle die cut from the Amaranth cardstock. I added a sentiment sticker from the sticker sheet which completed the card front.

I cut the inside panel from Solar White cardstock and embellished it with strips of the patterned paper from the kit and Basis Green cardstock used on the front. I layered the panel on Basis Green and again on Amaranth cardstock, and added another sticker from the sticker sheet.

Hey everybody! Happy Saturday! I’m thrilled to be back with another ScrapbookingStore DT inspiration project created with the amazing February 2023 Scrapbook Kit with Upgrades! I’m loving all these double-sided papers and the best part about kits is that the stickers and upgrades coordinate so well with the papers. All the matchy-matchy work is done for you! I’ve created a triple cube Valentine with lots of romantic innuendos! I really love this fun fold!

I cut the card base from CutCardStock Basis Red cardstock along with square panels from CutCardStock Bright Silver Foil and page of small journal cards in the kit. I added stickers from the sticker sheet and clear stickers from the upgrades.

Here’s another angled shot and a look at the back with plenty of room for a custom message and signature. And it folds flat for mailing!

The World is Your Oyster

Hey everybody! Happy Saturday! I hope your weather isn’t too awfully bad where you are! I’ve been playing with Keep It Simple goodies again and have another inspirational fun fold to share with you created with an assortment of products the Clementine Bundle. Have I mentioned how truly awesome this bundle is?! I can’t get enough of it! It contains everything you could possibly need to create a huge variety of cards, ATCs, 3-D projects, or whatever your heart desires. My card today is a diagonal joy fold and it’s the first one like this I’ve ever made. I’ve made diagonal folds and joy folds over the years, but never one like this! And I love it!

I cut the A2 size diagonal card base and layering panels from CutCardStock Basis 80# Natural and Curious Metallic Gold Leaf cardstock, along with coordinating papers from both the Keep It Simple Clementine Flip Sides 12×12 Paper Pack and Clementine Collection 12×12 Paper Pack. I adhered all the layers in place and embellished the panels with Clementine Adhesive Buttons and a Puffy Sticker.

I embellished the inside panel with a sticker from the 12×12 Sticker Sheet which completed the card. Here are shots of the card opening up. So fun!

2/24/23 Top 3 Winner at Alphabet Challenge Blog!

Hey everybody! Happy Sunday! It’s almost the middle of February already – time sure is flying by! I’m stoked to be back with another Keep It Simple DT inspiration project to share with you today! I so love the Household Chore Gnomes Collection – these guys are so cool and you know how I love me some gnomes! ;) I created a center step card featuring items from the Die Cut Pieces and Gnome Collection Pack 6×6 Double Sided Cardstock, along with the Back to Basics Royal Collection Pack 6×6 Double-Sided Cardstock and Royal Enamel Dots.

I die cut the easel card base from Neenah Classic Crest 110# Solar White cardstock and the layering panels from the Gnome Collection Pack 6×6 Double-Sided Cardstock. I selected a light blue cardstock from the Royal Collection Pack 6×6 Double-Sided Cardstock which I tore to create a puddle of water. Then I added the gnome, cleaning supplies and sentiment from the Die Cut Pieces, and added some Royal Enamel Dots. I tied a blue twine bow on the sentiment which completed the card front.

For the back, I die cut layering panels from Neenah Classic Crest 80# Solar White cardstock and the Gnome Collection Pack, then fussy cut the sentiment from a card in the Die Cut Pieces. Isn’t that sentiment a hoot?! Love how this turned out!
