Fun Fold – Page 34 – Love To Scrap 2

You’re Tea-riffic fun fold

Howdy peeps! Well, we’ve hit another Friday because another week has gone POOF – and it’s the last day of June! I keep saying Christmas will be here before we know it! I’ve popped in this morning to share another Splitcoast Stampers Dirty Dozen DT inspiration project. This double gate fold is one of my favorite fun folds to create because it’s so easy and really packs a punch! I love these older Taylored Expressions Tea-riffic stamps and dies, and it definitely helps to have pretty double-sided papers like these from Keep It Simple to make fun folds with!

I cut the double gate fold card base from a double-sided paper in the Keep It Simple Mango 12×12 Collection pack along with layering panels from CutCardStock Basis Natural and two more patterned papers in the Mango paper pack. I stamped the stacked cups from the Taylored Expressions Tea-riffic stamp set on Basis Natural, colored them with alcohol markers, and cut them with the coordinating Taylored Expressions Tea-riffic die set. I adhered the stacked cups on die cut layered circles using the Spellbinders Standard Circles Large and Classic Scalloped Circles Large dies. I stamped a sentiment from the same stamp set in Catherine Pooler Icing on the Cake ink in the lower right corner and added several Eyelet Outlet orange pearls.

I adhered the layers and strips for the inside panel and stamped another sentiment from the same stamp set in Catherine Pooler Icing on the Cake ink, coloring the cups with alcohol markers.

Tea is always a good idea

Hi friends! I hope you’re having a fabulous week! I’m back this morning to share another Splitcoast Stampers Dirty Dozen DT inspiration project! You know how I love me some fun folds, and many of the projects I make all year long are fun folds! This sliding pop-up card features tall cups with a tea-theme!

I cut the card base from a double-sided paper in the Keep It Simple Rose 12×12 Collection Pack along with layering panels and strips from CutCardStock Basis 110# White cardstock and coordinating papers in the Rose paper pack. I stamped the tall cups from the Prickley Pear Stamps Tea stamp set in Catherine Pooler Black Jack ink on a scrap piece of Basis White and colored them with alcohol markers. I added a little shimmer to each with a Sakura Clear Star Gelly Roll pen and cut them with the coordinating Prickley Pear Stamps Coffee Cup die set. I stamped a sentiment from the same stamp set in black ink and added an Eyelet Outlet heart pearl.

I cut the back panel from Basis White and embellished it with a leftover strip of patterned paper from the Keep It Simple Rose 12×12 Collection Pack. I left it blank for a custom sentiment and signature.

Coffee Diorama Card

Hey everybody! My wish for you is to have a terrific Tuesday! I’ve popped in this morning to share another Splitcoast Stampers Dirty Dozen DT inspiration project! This fun coffee diorama card features fun papers, ephemera, stamps and dies from several different brands. This is such an easy fun fold and I’ve made many of them over the years.

I cut the card base and an embellishing strip from coordinating papers in the Keep It Simple Royal 12×12 Collection Pack. Next, I cut a front layering panel from Neenah Classic Crest Solar White cardstock, added some ephemera from the Royal paper pack and a stamped sentiment from the CAS-ual Fridays Stamps Mwah stamp set (stamped in Catherine Pooler Suede Shoes ink). The finishing touch was adding several Keep It Simple Royal enamel dots.

For the inside, I cut an aperture and frame using the Memory Box Stitched Octagon dies. I used one of the freebie Trinity Stamps coffee cup dies and stamped a sentiment on the cup from the Prickley Pear Stamps Coffee Cup stamps in Memento Tuxedo Black ink. I added steam (from the same Prickley Pear Stamps Coffee Cup stamps) stamped in Catherine Pooler Twilight ink on vellum and cut it with the coordinating Prickley Pear Stamps Coffee Cup dies. A signature panel was added below the aperture with another sentiment from the CAS-ual Fridays Stamps Mwah stamp set stamped in Catherine Pooler Suede Shoes ink.

And here’s a close-up showing off that fun sentiment!

Merry Christmas twister

Hey everybody! Happy Friday! I hope you’ve had a great week and are headed into a fun weekend! How about another Splitcoast Stampers Dirty Dozen DT inspiration project?! You know how much I LOVE Art Impressions stamps and dies, and the Twister line is another one of my favorites, so I created a fun twister card using the Santa Twist Set stamps and dies!

I cut a standard A2 size top-folding card base from 110# Solar White cardstock along with a layering panel and aperture frame from two coordinating papers in the Keep It Simple Jade 12×12 Collection Pack. Using the Art Impressions Twist Frame Dies, I cut the aperture into the front flap and layering panel, and adhered the frame. I adhered two narrow strips to the sides cut from CutCardStock Pop Tone Wild Cherry cardstock. I stamped the sentiment from the Santa Twist Set stamps over the aperture and then stamped Santa’s front and back sides (from the same stamp set) on Solar White. I colored Santa with alcohol markers and cut him with the coordinating Santa Twist Set dies.

I adhered another panel from a coordinating print in the Keep It Simple Jade 12×12 Collection Pack on the inside (visible through the twist aperture), and stamped another sentiment from the Santa Twist Set stamps in black ink.

Merry Christmas fun fold

Hi friends! I hope you’re having a wonderful week! It’s unreal that we’re already on the downslide to the end of June! I have another Splitcoast Stampers Dirty Dozen DT inspiration project to share… I hope you aren’t getting tired of seeing them because I sure am enjoying sharing them with you! This Merry Christmas double flap fun fold is one of my favorite designs and I’ve made quite a few of them over the years. I totally love a pink and teal color combo for Christmas!

I cut the card base and flaps from Neenah Classic Crest 80# Solar White cardstock and rounded the corners. I cut layering panels from CutCardStock Stardream Metallic Lagoon cardstock and coordinating papers from The Paper Studio Four Seasons and Everything In Between -2- paper pad.

I stamped the reindeer from the Hero Arts Jingle All The Way stamp set on Solar White cardstock, colored it with alcohol markers and ultra fine point Sharpies, and cut it with the coordinating Jingle All The Way die. I die cut the ‘merry’ portion of the sentiment from CutCardStock Pop Tone Cotton Candy cardstock using the die from the Hero Arts Merry Stamp & Cut, then stamped stars and the other portion of the sentiment from the Merry Stamp & Cut as well.

Here are shots of the card opening up with the inside sentiment stamped from the Merry Stamp & Cut. So fun!

Hey everybody! Happy Father’s Day to all the amazing dads out there! My dad was pretty amazing but has been gone since 1975, so my wishes to him are directed toward Heaven! I’ve popped in this morning to share a Splitcoast Stampers Dirty Dozen DT inspiration project. You know how much I love the Art Impressions Matchbook series, and I have a fun Santa/Christmas-themed one to share. These are so stinkin’ fun and I won’t stop until I’ve made all of them, lol!

I cut the base from Polly’s Paper Studio patterned paper using the Matchbook Template Die. I stamped all the elements from the Santa Christmas stamps in Memento Tuxedo Black ink on Neenah Classic Crest 80# Solar White cardstock, colored them with alcohol markers, and cut them with the coordinating Santa Christmas dies. I always enjoy the assembly the most! ;)

Here’s a shot of the back of the matchbook and another shot showing the tiny envelope created with the Matchbook Envelope Dies and a coordinating patterned paper. So fun!

Whooo Hoo!

Hey everybody! I hope you’re having a good weekend and doing something fun in this glorious weather! I’m up on the Prickley Pear Stamps blog sharing an inspiration project featuring the Mini Owls stamp set and coordinating Mini Owls die set! These are so fun and versatile, and I created a half flap card in monochromatic yellows that would be so easy to mass produce for birthdays or congrats, or even friendship!

I cut a standard A2 size side-folding card base from Neenah Classic Crest 110# Solar White cardstock and used my Fiskars 12″ SureCut paper trimmer to create the half flap. Next I cut layering panels from coordinating prints in the Keep It Simple Lemon 12×12 Collection Pack. I stamped the branch and sentiment from the Mini Owls stamp set in Memento Tuxedo Black ink and extended the branch out just a bit with a Copic black multi-liner pen. I stamped an owl on Solar White in black ink, colored it with two gray alcohol markers, and cut it with a die from the coordinating Mini Owls die set. The finishing touch was adding several gray gemstones.

hello Summer Days Z-Fold

Howdy peeps! Happy Saturday – I hope you have something fun planned this weekend! I’m delighted to be back to share another ScrapbookingStore DT inspiration project created with the amazing June 2023 Scrapbook Kit with Upgrades! I used papers and stickers as well as ephemera and adhesive brads from the upgrades in this month’s collection to make a Z-fold. The Z-fold is probably one of the simplest fun folds to make and they sure do pack a punch!

I cut a standard A2 size Z-fold card base from Neenah Classic Crest 110# Solar White cardstock along with a layering panel from a pinwheel patterned paper in the collection. I chose a coordinating journaling card, layered it on another patterned paper and adhered a chipboard pinwheel to the center. The finishing touch was adding two large clear adhesive brads from the upgrades.

I cut the inside panel from the patterned paper used for layering the focal image on the front. I ran strips of Me & My Big Ideas navy blue star skinny washi tape to outline the inside area and then adhered pinwheel and sentiment stickers from the sticker sheet.

Twin Pocket Card

Hey everybody! Happy Sunday – I hope you’re having a lovely weekend! I have a pretty Keep It Simple DT inspiration project to share today created with papers, stickers, chipboard and enamel shapes from the amazing Clementine collection! I created a twin pocket card with a couple chipboard tags tucked into the pockets, and love how it turned out. This is one of my absolute favorite bundles because the sky is the limit with the amazing inspirational projects that can be created with it.

I created the card base from a pretty double-sided paper from the Clementine Flipside Pack. I die cut a mini scallop circle from a coordinating paper in the collection, adhered it to a sentiment and added a butterfly (both from the Sticker Sheet) which I popped up on foam tape. I finished the front with a couple Clementine Enamel Shapes.

I added Really Reasonable Ribbon pink satin diamond ribbon with Doodlebug Design Lily White Doodle Twine to two tags from the Chipboard Sheet which are tucked into the pockets.

Have a Magical Day

Hey everybody! I hope you are having a wonderful weekend! I’m up on the Prickley Pear Stamps blog today with an inspiration project featuring the Best Unicorn Buddies stamp set and coordinating Best Unicorn Buddies die set! I just LOVE these little unicorns and this time I’m showcasing them on a wiper card! Fun folds are my ‘thing’ and wiper cards are on my list of favorites! My inspiration for this fun card came from Julie Davison’s easy tutorial HERE.

I cut the card base from Neenah Classic Crest Solar White cardstock along with layering panels from Doodlebug Design floral-graph and buffalo check-woodgrain rainbow petite prints. I stamped three unicorns, the rainbow, a couple clouds and several hearts from the Best Unicorn Buddies stamps in Memento Tuxedo Black ink on Solar White cardstock, colored them with alcohol markers and cut them with the coordinating Best Unicorn Buddies dies. I added tiny dots of Nuvo Ivory Seashell Crystal Drops to the flowers on two of the unicorn images. While those were drying, I drew some lines on the hearts with a Sakura white Gelly Roll pen for a little interest.

I stamped a sentiment from the same stamp set in black ink and cut it with a My Favorite Things Stitched Mini Scallop Circle STAX die. The fun part was attaching one of the unicorns to a strip of acetate on the wiper mechanism so when the card sides are pulled outward, up pops the unicorn! The finishing touch was adding several gemstones from the Trinity Stamps Amethyst Accent Embellishment Mix using my Trinity Pick Up Stick.

I cut the back panel from Solar White cardstock and embellished it with a strip of patterned paper used on the front. I stamped the sentiment from the same Best Unicorn Buddies stamp set in black ink and layered the panel on CutCardStock Grape Jelly cardstock.
