Fun Fold – Page 36 – Love To Scrap 2

Another Year Older

2/6/23 Top Sprout at A Place To Start!
2/3/23 Rising Star at A Place To Start!

Hey everybody! Happy Friday – I hope you’ve had a great week! I have an awesome CutCardStock DT inspiration project to share with you today featuring our Basis Gray, Dolphin Gray and Pop Tone Black Licorice which I paired with some Echo Park double-sided paper in my stash! This is one of my most favorite stamp sets because it always makes an awesome masculine card! Plus it’s a tunnel card with a pop-up sentiment on the inside! I’ve made quite a few tunnel cards over the years but have never made one quite like this, and it was rather fun!

I cut a standard A2 size side-folding card base and small rectangular panel from Basis Gray cardstock. I ran the smaller panel through the Big Shot with a Darice Diamond Plate embossing folder. I stamped the motorcycle on a scrap piece of Dolphin Gray cardstock, cut it with the coordinating die, and layered it on three additional die cuts for dimension. I stamped the sentiment from The Project Bin Wild Thing stamp set in Memento Tuxedo Black ink and added several Darice tiny gray gemstones.

The inside consists of two layering panels. Using my Fiskars 12″ SureCut paper trimmer, I cut two horizontal lines into the Dolphin Gray layer to create the pop-up mechanism. I stamped another sentiment from the same Wild Thing stamp set in black ink, trimmed it and layered it, then adhered it to the left side of the pop-up mechanism. I die cut a circle into the Echo Park plaid paper and a slightly smaller circle into a square piece of Pop Tone Black Licorice which I adhered behind the aperture in the plaid paper, leaving a small border visible. The final step for the inside was adhering the plaid panel in place, making sure the sentiment flap was through the aperture before applying adhesive.

Hey everybody! Are you as amazed as I am at how quickly 2023 got here?! Dang! Our new challenge is live this morning over at Love To Craft Challenge Blog and I’m super stoked to share my DT inspiration project for LTCCB #72 – Anything Goes! The hubs and I are vintage (LOL) so I created a fun vintage TV box card for our anniversary using the SVG Cuts Vintage TV Box Card cut file. The photo I used was taken on one of our first dates to a motorcycle club meeting… look how young we were! And, it goes without saying that avocado and orange are some of the best vintage colors around! Bahahaha!

Using my Scan N Cut, I cut the box card base from Cardstock Warehouse Brown Box 100# cardstock, the decorative elements and trim from CutCardStock Pop Tone Jellybean Green and Pebbles Inc. Basics 6×6 paper pad, and the antenna from CutCardStock Bright Silver Foil cardstock.

Like I always say, the most fun is the assembly. I used the Cuttlebug Swiss Dots Embossing Folder for the speaker cover and Eyelet Outlet orange 8mm Cut Jewels for the knobs. ;)

I stamped the sentiment from The Cat’s Pajamas Simply Stacked Sentiments stamp set in Memento Tuxedo Black ink on the back panel which completed the card.

Christmas Quilt Card

Hey everybody! Are you ready for the round jolly guy in the red suit to make his appearance tomorrow evening?! He’s coming whether you’re ready or not, lol! I’m thrilled to be back to share another ScrapbookingStore DT inspiration project with you today, created with the amazing December 2022 Scrapbook Kit with Upgrades! I like everything in this month’s kit, from the pretty patterned papers to the variety of stickers. I consider myself a fun fold ‘fiend’ and thought a side fold card featuring a Christmas quilt was in order. I used the snowflake, festive floral and modern stripe and dot patterned papers in this month’s collection along with some stickers from the sticker sheet.

I cut the side fold card base from Neenah Classic Crest 110# Solar White cardstock and adhered the left panel. Using the My Favorite Things Quilt Square Cover-Up die, I die cut the quilt five times (three times with the patterned papers from the kit and two more times with CutCardStock Red Wagon and Scottish Highlands Green cardstock). Using various pieces from each of the cuts, I assembled the quilt and adhered it to the card front. I added a sentiment sticker from the sticker sheet and adhered a rectangular panel cut from the Red Wagon cardstock to the left side which I embellished with metallic gold thread and another sticker from the sticker sheet.

I cut the inside panel from 80# Solar White cardstock and embellished it with strips of the festive floral patterned paper and CutCardStock Red Wagon cardstock used on the front. I stamped the sentiment in Catherine Pooler Grass Skirt ink and layered the panel on CutCardStock Scottish Highlands Green cardstock.

Christmas Double Pleated Fold

Hi friends! I hope it’s not too cold where you are… it’s technically not even Winter yet, lol! We woke up to 2 degrees a couple days ago and I believe it was 8 degrees yesterday morning! I’m delighted to be back to share another ScrapbookingStore DT inspiration project with you today, created with the amazing December 2022 Scrapbook Kit with Upgrades! I’m really loving all the Christmas-themed papers, coordinating stickers and upgrades in this month’s collection. I make Christmas cards all year long and already mailed out this year’s cards, so I have a head-start on next year’s! This card features a double pleated fold element on the front created from a houndstooth (on one side) and floral (on the other side) paper which I embellished with the chipboard doll from the upgrades!

I cut a standard A2 size side-folding landscape card base from CutCardStock Basis White cardstock along with a layering panel from CutCardStock Kale Green cardstock. I created the double pleated fold element using paper in the collection. I embellished it with Eyelet Outlet clear jewel brads and clear jewel bling strips and adhered it to the card front in a horizontal fashion. I added the chipboard doll from the upgrades to two layered die cut circles which I adhered to the center of the double pleated fold element. The finishing touch was adding a sentiment using a rub-on from the upgrades.

I cut the inside panel from Basis White cardstock and embellished it with strips of the patterned paper and kale green cardstock used on the front. I stamped a sentiment from the Stampin’ Up Oh What Fun stamp set and layered the panel on green cardstock.

JOY double gate fold

Hey everybody! A big ol’ Happy Tuesday to you all! I hope your week has started off nicely! I’m stoked to be back with another Keep It Simple DT inspiration project created with products from the absolutely amazing Scandinavian Christmas Collection! And you know how I love me some fun folds, so this was definitely a ‘win-win’ kind of project! For this double gate fold, I used a buffalo plaid paper from the 6×9 Cardstock Pack, double-sided paper from the Back to Basics Ruby 12×12 Collection Pack, and an assortment of die cuts from the Die Cut Pieces Alphabits, Santa & Friends and Gnomes. This was definitely a fun one!

I created the card base using the double-sided buffalo plaid paper from the 6×9 Cardstock Pack. To create the front detail on the card base, I cut the top portion of each side of the gate fold off at an angle, flipped the pieces down, exposing the reverse side, and adhered them to the bottom of the gate fold flaps.

I created the JOY focal element by adhering die cuts from the Die Cut Pieces Alphabits, Santa & Friends and Gnomes to a circle die cut from Neenah Classic Crest Solar White cardstock, and adhered the element to the left side of the card front.

I cut the inside panel from 80# Solar White cardstock and embellished it with strips cut from a red paper in the Back To Basics Ruby 12×12 Collection Pack and a blue paper in the 6×9 Cardstock Pack along with a die cut from the Die Cut Pieces Santa & Friends. I stamped a sentiment from the Santa & Friends stamps in Catherine Pooler Stone Blue ink, and layered the panel on the blue paper.

Christmas Church

Hey everybody! Can you believe we’re almost a week into November already?! Happy Heavenly birthday to my crafty sister who would have been 74 today. I love her and miss her so much. I’m delighted to be back on the Eyelet Outlet blog today as a guest designer with my final inspiration project showcasing these new brads! This super cute Christmas Church box card features the Caroler Brads and Snow Tree Brads adorned with 3mm Champagne Jewel Bling Strip and a sentiment on the back created with Christmas Holly Washi Tape! And being a box card means it folds flat for mailing!

I cut all the pieces from Neenah Classic Crest Baronial Ivory and CutCardStock Stardream Metallic Antique Gold cardstock. I used a yellow alcohol marker to color the windows.

After assembling the church, I added the Caroler Brads and Snow Tree Brads, and then embellished all three sections with 3mm Champagne Jewel Bling Strips.

This box card has a pull-out element with plenty of room to write a custom message. The final touch was adding a sentiment on the back pocket created with a strip of Christmas Holly Washi Tape applied to a scrap of ivory cardstock, trimmed, and layered on antique gold cardstock.

Happy Birthday Cake Card

Hey, peeps! How’s the weather where you are… is it just a bit chilly, lol?! It is here and that’s how we like it! Our new challenge is live this morning over at Love To Craft Challenge Blog and I’m excited to share my DT inspiration project for LTCCB #71 – Anything Goes! I created a super cute fun fold birthday card using the Simply Crafty SVGs Birthday Cake Card cut file that I cut with my Scan N Cut. Back in January of this year I learned how to print sentiments using the draw function on my Scan N Cut, and have really enjoyed doing that on a few cards!

I cut the card base from CutCardStock Raspberry Ice cardstock, the cake elements from The Paper Studio Four Seasons and Everything In Between -2- paper pad, the candle elements from CutCardStock Basis Gold and CutCardStock Basis Aqua, and the front and inside sentiment banners from Neenah Classic Crest 80# Solar White which I printed using the draw function on my Scan N Cut prior to cutting them. As I assembled the card, I ran the candle through the Big Shot with the Cuttlebug Candy Cane Stripes Embossing Folder for a little texture and used some Sakura Clear Star shimmer on the flame.

Here are a couple shots showing how the card opens.

And one more look… this was definitely a fun one and very birthday-themed with the fun pastel colors! I think it would be a great cut file to use for a wedding-themed card as well, so stay tuned! ;)

Surfin’ Santa with a ho ho ho

Hi friends! Happy Tuesday to you! Since it’s the first day of November, it’s busy here on my blog this morning, lol! Another one of my projects was in the Top 3 at Scrapping4fun Challenges several weeks ago and I was invited to guest for Challenge #218 – Summer/Winter, so here I am! I featured both Summer AND Winter in my DT inspiration project and just love how it turned out! You know I’m a huge fan of box cards, so I used the Surfing Santa Card cut file from Simply Crafty SVGs!

I cut the card base from Cardstock Warehouse Brown Box 100# Kraft cardstock, and the rest of the pieces from CutCardStock Pop Tone Black Licorice, Pop Tone Hot Fudge, Pop Tone Jellybean Green, Pop Tone Sweet Tooth, Pop Tone Wild Cherry, and Sandcastle cardstock, along with Hot Off The Press Seascapes & Sand 6×6 double-sided cardstock and Brutus Monroe blue glitter cardstock. I always say the most fun part is the assembly, and this one was no different! I love watching them come to life!

Here is a shot of the back showing the panel to write a custom message and signature and an angled side shot showing the construction. Box cards are so much fun!

What’s the Word, Bird???

Howdy peeps! Yikes, it’s the last Wednesday in October and Christmas is going to be here in the blink of an eye! I’m delighted to be back with one more guest design project for InkyStamper and am kinda sad to see it come to an end! I’ve had a grand time playing with their stamps and dies! I created this double flap card with the super cute Bird stamps and die in various blue patterns from the Doodlebug Design Buffalo Check-Wood Grain, Gingham-Linen, and Floral-Graph Rainbow Petite Prints. This is such a fun fold and I’m thrilled with how it turned out!

I cut the card base from 110# Solar White cardstock and the left and right flaps from 80# Solar White along with layering panels from CutCardStock Basis Blue cardstock. Next, I cut panels from a variety of patterns in the Doodlebug Design Buffalo Check-Wood Grain, Gingham-Linen, and Floral-Graph Rainbow Petite Prints cardstock pads. I stamped the bird and bell in Memento Tuxedo Black ink on 110# Solar White cardstock, stamped again in Versamark, and heat embossed them with Hero Arts Clear Embossing Powder. I colored them with alcohol markers and cut them with the coordinating dies.

I stamped a sentiment and ladder on the middle panel, and two more sentiments on the back panel.

Howdy peeps! Dang, this month is flying by – hard to believe it’s already the 23rd! I’m excited to be back with another Keep It Simple DT inspiration project created with products in the new Lumberjack release! I love fun folds and create them quite regularly. ;) This one is a front flap thank you card created with the Collection Pack 12×12 Cardstock and Collection Pack 6×6 Cardstock, Lumberjack Stamps and Lumberjack Outline Dies, and Camping Stamps and Camping Outline Dies. I also used the Thank You Sentiments Stamp Set from my stash along with the Back To Basics Jade Collection Pack 12×12 Cardstock and Jade Collection Pack 6×6 Cardstock which are already in the store.

I cut the card base from Neenah Classic Crest 110# Solar White cardstock along with layering panels from prints in the Lumberjack Collection Pack 6×6 Cardstock, and stamped a sentiment in Memento Tuxedo Black ink from the Thank You Sentiments Stamp Set (from my stash) in the lower right corner. Using the My Favorite Things Wonky Stitched Circle STAX Die-namics, I die cut a circle from a print in the Back To Basics Jade Collection Pack 6×6 Cardstock.

I created a little scene with stamped, colored and die cut elements from the Lumberjack Stamp & Die Bundle and Lumberjack Camping Stamp & Die Bundle. I also used a grass print from the Back To Basics Jade Collection Pack 12×12 Cardstock and fussy cut clouds from a print in the Lumberjack Collection Pack 6×6 Cardstock.

I cut the inside panel from 80# Solar White cardstock, stamped a sentiment in Tuxedo Black ink from the Lumberjack Stamps, and layered the panel on a print from the Back To Basics Jade Collection Pack 6×6 Cardstock.
