Fun Fold – Page 40 – Love To Scrap 2

Be Mine Love Truck Box Card

2/11/22 Top 3 Winner at Alphabet Challenge Blog!

Hi everyone! Happy Saturday! I hope you have something fun planned this weekend… but if you don’t, let me suggest that you hop along with us in the CutCardStock My Sweet Valentine Blog Hop going on today and tomorrow for a chance to win a $40 CutCardStock gift card! Affiliate links are used in this post at no cost to you – I really appreciate your support! I’m stoked to be participating in the hop showcasing two absolutely adorable box cards created with our amazing Basis cardstock and I’ve popped in to share my first project. I’m posting both cards separately so I can enter them into some challenges. Box cards are at the top of my all-time favorite list of fun folds and this one has several really cute features – metallic silver elements, stamped side and back panels, embossed tires, and lots of hearts (some adorned with red gemstones).

I cut all the pieces from Basis 80# Red cardstock, Basis 80# Pink cardstock, Basis 80# Black cardstock, Basis 80# White cardstock and Stardream Metallic Silver cardstock. To me, the real fun is assembling the box cards, and this one was no different! And I have to tell you that I was SO intimidated by the draw feature on my Scan N Cut that I’ve never (you read that right… never) used it in the 6+ years I’ve been using a Scan N Cut. Not sure what happened, but the process just clicked in my brain – I’ve used it several times now and love it!

There’s a panel on the back with a stamped sentiment and room for a signature.

And one more peek of the card folded flat for mailing. I’m so smitten with this card – it turned out so stinkin’ cute I can’t stand it!

Hi everyone! A very Happy Saturday to you – I hope you’ve had a great week! Affiliate links are used in this post at no cost to you – I really appreciate your support! I’m thrilled to be back on the Eyelet Outlet blog today with another awesome DT inspiration project! I created a 4th of July card featuring our Flag & Hat Brads and Patriotic Enamel Stars! You know me and fun folds… I ran across my own zig-zag template while I was looking through my tutorial files for something else, and decided it would be perfect for this card! I went one step further on this one and die cut two round apertures to see the fireworks through, which I thought was a fun touch!

I cut the card base from Neenah Classic Crest Solar White 110# cardstock, two narrow embellishing strips from CutCardStock Basis Blue cardstock, and layering panels from assorted coordinated patriotic papers. Using a Memory Box Stitched Circle Layers die, I die cut circular apertures into the first and second sections. I stamped the fireworks on one of the negative space circular die cuts and adhered it to the third section to be seen through the apertures. I stamped the main sentiment in red ink on Neenah Classic Crest Solar White 80# cardstock, cut it with a Memory Box Stitched Rectangle Layers die and adhered it along the top of the first section.

I used our blue and white Patriotic Enamel Stars to embellish all three inside sections. I affixed a hat from our Flag & Hat Brads to the second section adjacent to another stamped sentiment.

I cut the back panel from Neenah Classic Crest 80# Solar White cardstock and embellished it with a scrap from one of the patterned papers used on the front along with a narrow strip of CutCardStock Basis Blue cardstock. I stamped the sentiment in red ink, added a flag from our Flag & Hat Brads and some Patriotic Enamel Stars, and layered the panel on the blue cardstock.

And one more look… so smitten with this design! I totally love the enamel stars used with the hat and flag brads!

Happy Wednesday, everybody! I hope you’re having a great week and you’re not working too hard! Affiliate links are used in this post at no cost to you – I really appreciate your support! I’m delighted to be back on the CutCardStock blog today with an awesome DT inspiration project featuring more of our Astrobrights cardstock that’s on sale this month! Be sure to stock up – the colors in this line are so bright and vibrant and would look really good in your stash! I used Re-Entry Red, Pulsar Pink, Planetary Purple, Lunar Blue, and Solar Yellow for my project which I paired with my studio staple Neenah Classic Crest Solar White and Pop-Tone Gumdrop Green cardstock.

I cut the card base pieces from Neenah Classic Crest Solar White 80# cardstock and the scalloped doily from vellum; the flowers from Astrobrights Re-Entry Red cardstock, Astrobrights Pulsar Pink cardstock, Astrobrights Planetary Purple cardstock, Astrobrights Lunar Blue cardstock and Astrobrights Solar Yellow cardstock; and the leaves from Pop-Tone Gumdrop Green cardstock. I assembled the flowers first and adhered a clear gemstone to the center of each.

I arranged the doily, leaves and flowers on the top portion of the base, and once I was happy with the placement, I adhered them. I threaded red Offray ribbon through the slots on the center portion of the insert, stamped the sentiment in red ink on the insert, and adhered just the center portion.

And one more look… all folded up and ready to mail. Such a fun project that would be a good one to involve kids or grandkids!

Hi friends! Happy Friday – I hope you’re having a wonderful week! We’re two weeks into January already… yikes! Affiliate links are used in this post at no cost to you – I really appreciate your support! One of my projects was a top pick over at Cut It Up Challenges at the end of December and I was invited to guest design in an upcoming challenge so here I am sharing my GD inspiration project for Challenge – 243 Anything Goes which is a super adorable crayon box card! I am such a fiend when it comes to awesome cut files and putting these fun projects together! I was on an SVG design team for 2-1/2 years and since stepping down almost two years ago, I’ve really missed it! I seem to be getting my Scan N Cut out of the cabinet for crafty plays more and more often these days, lol!

I cut the pieces from CutCardStock Basis Gold, Basis Green, Basis Orange, Basis Red, Basis Navy, Pop-Tone Grape Jelly, Bonsai Green and Camomile cardstock, Neenah Classic Crest Solar White cardstock, and American Crafts Marine cardstock. I stamped the sentiment from Prickley Pear Stamps Truck stamp set in green ink on the tag for the front.

I absolutely love putting these kinds of projects together! Box cards are among my all-favorites, and this one was particularly fun! I stamped the sentiment from the Lawn Fawn Color My World stamp set in green ink on the panel for the back.

And one more look… I’m just totally smitten! So happy to have scored the guest gig at Cut It Up Challenges where I was able to share this!

2/1/22 Top Pick at Crafting Happiness Challenges!

Hi peeps! Well, 2022 has arrived in what seems like a very short amount of time, lol! It seems like January 1st of 2021 was just yesterday! Affiliate links are used in this post at no cost to you – I really appreciate your support! 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 #66 – Anything Goes! I’ve been on a Scan N Cut kick here lately and have cut quite a few files for design team projects. This adorable twist and pop card was created with a cut file from My Scrap Chick.

I cut all the pieces from American Crafts Sunflower, White and Stone cardstock, as well as CutCardStock Basis Red, Basis Aqua, Basis Green, Basis Navy, Pop-Tone Tangy Orange and Shadow Gray cardstock. The sentiment is from The Project Bin Milky Way stamp set which I stamped in Catherine Pooler Juniper Mist ink.

Then the fun began putting it together. Twist and pop cards really are a lot of fun, and being able to cut them electronically rather than measuring and scoring manually is the bomb!

The inside sentiment is from the same stamp set, stamped in the same dark blue ink.

And one more look… this was a super fun project. I can literally sit for hours putting these kinds of cards together!

Hi friends! It’s Christmas Eve and I hope you’ve had an awesome week and you’re ready for jolly St. Nick to arrive! I’m still shaking my head at how fast this year has flown by! Affiliate links are used in this post at no cost to you – I really appreciate your support! I won a challenge over at Creative Creases Challenge a couple weeks ago and the lovely Debbie invited me to guest design, so I’ve created a pretty fun fold Christmas wallet as my GD project for Creative Creases Challenge #22 that launched this morning. This is my own design and it’s super easy to create, and the sky is the limit as far as theme and decoration! I chose Christmas because I had Concord & 9th stamps and dies I’ve been wanting to use since I bought them a couple months ago… you know how that goes, lol! ;)

I cut the wallet base from CutCardStock Basis Dark Red cardstock using my template HERE and rounded the bottom corners. Using the Concord & 9th Home for the Holidays Stacks dies, I cut all the tiny houses, trees and elements for the front from CutCardStock Basis Red, Basis Dark Red, Basis Gold, Basis Green, Pop-Tone Gumdrop Green, Pop-Tone Jellybean Green cardstock, Neenah Classic Crest Baronial Ivory cardstock, Hygloss Gold Metallic Foil cardstock and Christmas Print 6×6 Cardstock Pad, and then assembled the houses. I adhered a ground layer, the houses, trees and lamp posts to the front of the wallet, and added a stamped sentiment from the Concord & 9th Home for the Holidays stamp set which I cut with a banner die from the same die set. The finishing touch was adding iridescent gemstones in the sky.

I cut layering panels from Stampin’ Up This Christmas Specialty DSP along with narrow embellishing strips from CutCardStock Pop-Tone Gumdrop Green cardstock and adhered them to the inside of the wallet. I cut a 6-1/8″ x 2-5/8″ card (which I left blank to hand-write a sentiment) that I tucked into one of the pockets.

And one more look… this is such a fun project that I really enjoyed making! If you use my template to create a wallet, I sure would love to see pics!

Hey everybody! Top of the morning to you! I hope you’re having a great week! Affiliate links are used in this post at no cost to you – I really appreciate your support! I shared a box card that we sent to our youngest grandson yesterday, so today I’m sharing an another box card that we sent to our youngest granddaughter at the same time. This adorable Owl Box Card is another one from My Scrap Chick and turned out so stinkin’ cute with the little owl peeking out of the hole in the tree! And of course, I lucked out having the perfect stamp set to use!

I cut all the pieces from Stampin’ Up Chocolate Chip cardstock, CutCardStock Basis Brown, Basis Light Brown, Basis Green, Basis Black, Basis White, and Pop-Tone Tangy Orange cardstock. I used the Stampin’ Up Hardwood background stamp on the tree layering pieces, stamped in Catherine Pooler Icing On The Cake ink.

I assembled the card, stamped the sentiment in black ink using the Taylored Expressions Hoot Hoot Hooray stamp set, and added a few green Dot Sparklers using the Trinity Pick-Up Stick.

Here are a couple more angled shots.

And one more peek… folded flat for mailing. Box cards are just all-around fun, and the fact that they fold flat for mailing is a bonus!

Hi everybody! Wishing you all a terrific Tuesday! Only four more sleeps… and yes, you know what I’m talking about, lol! Affiliate links are used in this post at no cost to you – I really appreciate your support! I’ve stopped in today to share a T-Rex pop-up card that I created for our youngest grandboy a couple months ago. But first of all, I’m sure you’ve noticed that my blog looks a little different this morning! I love change (which is in direct contradiction to my Libra personality) and have been eyeballing a different WordPress theme for a couple months now and decided that this morning was launch time! I love it because it’s so clean and crisp! Okay, back to this adorable card that I created with a cut file from My Scrap Chick. I know I’ve mentioned before how fun it is assembling 3-D projects and watching them come to life!

I cut all the pieces from CutCardStock Basis Teal, Basis Aqua, Basis Orange, Basis Brown, Dolphin, and Pop-Tone Tangy Orange cardstock. I had no dinosaur patterned paper so I found the Design Bundles Digital Dinosaur Friends Pattern Pack online which I cut the layering panels from. I assembled the card and added the sentiment from Brutus Monroe Conversation Clippings Prehistoric Party.

Here’s an angled shot.

And one more peek… folded flat for mailing. I absolutely love how this turned out!

Hi everybody! Is it cold where you are?! We’re having a heat wave here this morning – it’s up to 37 degrees from 13 and 22 degrees the last couple mornings, lol! We got a few inches of snow several days ago and some of it is still on the ground, and we sure do love it! Affiliate links are used in this post at no cost to you – I really appreciate your support! I discovered that I still have a few card samples I created for Prickley Pear Stamps to share using stamp sets in their Sketched Florals line. This pretty waterfall card (only the second one of these I’ve ever made) features the Sketched Florals Sunflower stamp set along with their Shadow Words Thank You die which I absolutely love.

I cut the card base and square waterfall panels from CutCardStock Basis Gold cardstock and CutCardStock Basis Black cardstock. I cut the square stamping panels from Neenah Classic Crest Solar White 80# cardstock, and stamped the images on the panels from the Sketched Florals Sunflower stamp set in black ink. I stamped them again in Versamark and heat embossed with Hero Arts clear embossing powder. This is an old trick I discovered years ago that yields virtually any color of embossing! I colored the images with Karin Brushmarkers- gold, Pale Orange, Olive Green, Curry and Cinnamon, and adhered the panels together. I stamped the sentiment (from the same stamp set) and made a file folder tab using my WRMK Envelope Punch Board. I assembled the card, using green glittered brads from my stash and creating a pull-tab using a die in the Memory Box Stitched Circle Layers set. I added white flat-back pearls in the upper left corner to finish the card front.

I cut the back panel from Neenah Classic Crest 80# Solar White cardstock, embellished it with strips of CutCardStock Basis Gold cardstock and CutCardStock Basis Black cardstock and adhered it to the card back. Using the Shadow Words Thank You die, I cut the sentiment from the gold and black cardstock as well, and adhered it to the white panel.

And one more look at each waterfall panel as they come down. Waterfall cards are so much fun and I can’t believe I’ve only ever made two of these in all the years I’ve been crafting! And the sunflower is my favorite flower, so you can only imagine how much I love this Sketched Florals Sunflower stamp set!

Hello file folder card

Hi friends! Happy Thursday! This week is flying by just as fast as the rest, lol! We’re almost to Friday for all you working folks! Affiliate links are used in this post at no cost to you – I really appreciate your support! I’ve popped in to share another sample I created for Prickley Pear Stamps from their new Jack and Lily Collection! This adorable fun fold (file folder card) features the owners’ grandson, Jack, and was created with the Hello Jack stamp set with coordinating Hello Jack die set! How adorable is he barefoot in his little overalls?!

I cut a standard A2 size side-folding card base from Neenah Classic Crest Solar White 110# cardstock and turned it into a file folder style card using my We R Memory Keepers Envelope Punch Board and a corner rounder. I cut layering panels from two coordinating prints in the Crafter’s Companion Just For Men Brights Collection 6×6 paper pad and adhered them to the card base along with two strips of skinny washi tape. I stamped Jack, his clothing and his toy car in black ink on Neenah Classic Crest Solar White 80# cardstock using the Hello Jack stamp set, colored them with alcohol markers, and cut them with the coordinating Hello Jack die set. I adhered them to the card front and stamped the sentiment (from the same stamp set) in black ink.

I cut the inside panel from another coordinating print from the Crafter’s Companion Just For Men Brights Collection 6×6 paper pad and adhered it to the inside of the card base. I cut a layering panel from Neenah Classic Crest 80# Solar White cardstock and embellished it with a strip of the patterned paper used on the front and a strip of skinny washi tape. I stamped the sentiment from the Ham Camper Summer stamp set in black ink and adhered it to the inside.

And one more peek… I’m so smitten with these characters and all their clothing and toys! They are so fun to create with!
