Category: Fun Fold

HAPPY BIRTHDAY to you!

Hi friends! I hope your week has started off with a bang! I mean that figuratively, not literally, lol! Affiliate links are used in this post at no cost to you. I really appreciate your support! A new ‘Inspiration Photo’ challenge has started today over at The Outlawz Tuesday Color Challenge and our sponsor is Fabrika Fantasy, so be sure to come on over and play! You know how I love fun folds, so I created a hybrid split panel fold using Fabrika Fantasy’s Happy Raccoon digital image from my stash (which is currently included in their Digi Club). I’ve created several of these split panel folds over the past year and they are so much fun!

This is the inspiration photo we were given and I zeroed in on the gray, green, pink, yellow, blue and purple:

I printed the precolored image on 60# Hammermill copy paper and cut it with a pinking edge die. I cut a narrow frame from CutCardStock Pop-Tone Grape Jelly cardstock using slightly smaller stitched square dies and adhered the frame to the image, and then adhered the image to another white pinking edge die cut for stability. I cut the card base from Neenah Classic Crest 110# Solar White cardstock, covered the flaps with purple gingham paper and adhered the image panel. I stamped the sentiment in purple ink, trimmed it and adhered it to the top flap. I added white flat-back pearls to the image and several purple bling and flat-back pearls across the bottom flap.

I adhered a panel of CutCardStock Pop-Tone Grape Jelly cardstock to the inside of the card base along with a narrower panel of Neenah Classic Crest 80# Solar White cardstock embellished with a wide strip of purple gingham and a narrow purple cardstock strip, and then stamped the sentiment in purple ink.

And one more look… this little raccoon guy couldn’t be any cuter! Love how this turned out!

Get well soon

Hi everyone! Happy Saturday to you! 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 triple fold card that has a belly band and features some of the new quarantine brads in the store, along with enamel dots which are some of my personal favs! You know how I love fun folds – this is the second one of these I’ve made and it’s such an easy one!

I pulled out a paper pad that hasn’t seen the light of day in quite a while and chose two coordinating prints that complimented the brown cardstock, and cut panels for the front and side flaps. I created a die cut element from CutCardStock Stardream Metallic Lagoon cardstock and Neenah Classic Crest Solar White cardstock on which I stamped the ‘get well’ sentiment, affixed a Kleenex Brad and Mask and Soap Brads, and added several White Enamel Dots. I embellished the corners with hearts punched from CutCardStock Stardream Metallic Lagoon cardstock scrap and slightly larger enamel dots.

I cut the inside panel from Neenah Classic Crest Solar White cardstock and embellished it with narrow strips and punched hearts from CutCardStock Stardream Metallic Lagoon cardstock, stamped the sentiment and adhered the panel to the inside of the card base.

And one more peek… so loving how this turned out! I think this would cheer up the recipient!

But First Tea

2/28/21 Runner Up Winner at Classic Design Challenge Blog!

Hi friends! A very happy Monday to you! Our new challenge is live this morning over at Mix It Up Challenge Blog and I’m thrilled to share my DT inspiration for MIUCB #46 – Fancy Fold! Our challenges are Anything Goes and we offer an optional technique twist each month just to inspire you, and this month the twist is Fancy Fold! Affiliate links are used in this post at no cost to you. I really appreciate your support! I created another front step card using the awesome Coffee Cup and Tea stamp sets with coordinating Coffee Cup die set from Prickley Pear Stamps! This is one of my new favorite fancy folds and I’ve made several of them. This card was created for the Prickley Pear Stamps Hochanda showcase several months back and was shown on air!

This is a standard A2 size card that folds flat for mailing. The construction is really simple and can easily be altered to make the card a different size.

I created the card base from kraft cardstock and added double-sided patterned paper layers to both base elements. I created the focal element with two die cuts, stamped the sentiment and added the tea die cut with fussy cut tea leaves.

I added a panel cut from Neenah Classic Crest Baronial Ivory cardstock with a die cut Sizzix sentiment to the back.

And one more peek… here’s the card folded flat for mailing. Such a fun design!

Cherish-Love-Forever-Beautiful

Happy Monday, everybody! Well, we’re a whole month into 2021 already! Our new challenge is live over at Love To Scrap Challenge Blog and I’m stoked to share my DT inspiration project for LTSCB #142 – Love Is. You guessed it – we want to see your ‘love’ creation, whether it’s for a wedding, an anniversary, a Valentine or just because! I created this corner fold wedding congrats sample for Prickley Pear Stamps using their Heart Key Crown stamps and dies. This fold is super fun!

I created the card base from white cardstock and the layers from sugarplum cardstock and a gorgeous patterned paper. I cut quite a few heart die cuts from white and sugarplum cardstock, and did a good bit of stamping and layering on all the panels.

And last but not least, this awesome card folds flat for mailing!

Thinking of You

Hi everyone! I’m stoked to be back on the CutCardStock blog today with an awesome DT inspiration project featuring more of the Astrobright cardstock that was included in our Designer’s Pack – which happens to be on sale this month so be sure to get some! Affiliate links are used in this post at no cost to you. I really appreciate your support! I created a super adorable Get Well card – the flower pot is a pocket and the flowers are adhered to a pull-out card that slides into the pocket! OMG, so cute I can’t stand it!

I started by die cutting all the pieces. I cut three large flowers, three small flowers, the pull-out card base and an embellishing strip from Astrobright Solar Yellow cardstock. Then I cut three large flower centers and six large leaves, three small flower centers and six small leaves, and a thin embellishing strip from Pop-Tone Gumdrop Green cardstock. Next I cut the flower pot and three scalloped rims (to layer together) from Pop-Tone Tangy Orange cardstock. And finally I cut the sentiment layer for the pull-out card from Classic Crest Solar White 80# cardstock.

I assembled the flower pot to form a pocket that the pull-out card slides into. I adhered the centers to the six flowers and two leaves to each flower, then adhered the three large flowers to the pull-out card base and adhered the sentiment layer to the pull-out card. I stamped the front sentiment on the flower pot and the inside sentiment on the pull-out card. I affixed the three smaller flowers to the pull-out card using two Double-Sided Adhesive Foam Circles behind each flower. The dimension is needed for the flowers to hang over the rim of the flower pot when the card is inserted into the flower pot. The final touch was the addition of a tiny iridescent gemstone on each scallop on the rim of the flower pot.

And one more peek… totally loving how this turned out! I’ll be making a few more of these for my stash using different colors of cardstock for the flowers!

Sending Hugs Across the Miles

2/8/21 Rising Star at A Place To Start!
2/8/21 Top Pick at Jan’s Digi Stamps Challenges!

Hi everyone! A big Happy Friday to you! I hope you have something fun planned for this weekend! I’m sitting here chuckling while I’m posting another front step card fold… one yesterday and one today! Well, who am I kidding?! I LOVE this fold and it has quickly become my ‘go-to’ fun fold since discovering it last summer! Affiliate links are used in this post at no cost to you. I really appreciate your support! This card is for The Outlawz January Freebie/Progressive Challenge where Jan’s Digi Stamps is our sponsor this month! Those of us who regularly play in this challenge were gifted the gorgeous Fall PEAR-fection digital image along with a sentiment that I used on the back of my card which I paired with a stamped sentiment on the front.

Pink and green is one of my all-time favorite color combos. I branched out a bit this time and went with a salmon-pink card base and green paper layers – and I love it! I printed the image on Neenah Classic Crest Solar White cardstock, colored it with alcohol markers, cut it with a stitched oval die and layered it on a slightly larger stitched oval die cut. I stamped the sentiment across the top in dark green ink and added some salmon-pink Sprinkles in the corners.

For the back panel, I printed the sentiment on Neenah Classic Crest Solar White cardstock, trimmed it and added strips of green paper and salmon cardstock across the top.

And one more peek… I’m sure you can see why this fold is one of my favorites! It’s different, it’s versatile and I love that it folds flat for mailing!

1/31/21 DT Favorite Winner at Classic Design Challenge Blog!

Hi everyone! I hope your first week of the New Year has been a good one! I’m absolutely thrilled to share that I’m once again guesting for Scrapping4fun Challenges! One of my projects was a Featured Creation last month and I was offered a guest design spot in Challenge #183 – Anything Goes, so here I am! Polkadoodles is our sponsor for this challenge and I have lots of their digital products in my stash, so I dug into the Winnie White Christmas Big Kahuna Download Kit for the image and papers I wanted to use for this front step card which is one of my favorite fun folds!

I created the card base from Papertrey Ink Simply Chartreuse cardstock. I printed three coordinating Polkadoodles digital papers, a round element, two merged pre-colored images and two sentiments on HP 32# copy paper and trimmed them. I layered the focal image on gold foil cardstock and set it aside. I adhered panels cut from the three digital papers to the card base and then adhered the focal image and a layered sentiment to the front along with three 8mm green cut jewels across the bottom.

I embellished the back panel with a leftover strip of the plaid paper and the round element that I punched with a 1-1/4″ circle punch, and layered the panel on the plain green paper.

And one more look… totally loving this fold! It’s easy to adjust the measurements if necessary (I made this one a little taller to accommodate the focal image) and it folds flat for mailing!

1/14/21 Spotlight Winner at Cardz 4 Galz!

Hi everyone! A very Happy New Year to you! Affiliate links are used in this post at no cost to you. I really appreciate your support! Our first challenge of the year is live over at Love To Scrap Challenge Blog and I’m stoked to share my DT inspiration project for LTSCB #141 – Anything Goes! Starting the year off with a bang with a fun fold! Yep, that’s how I roll, lol! You know I love me some fun folds! This is a triple cube card that’s 4″ x 6″ and folds flat for mailing. I found this one on Pinterest this past summer and unfortunately don’t know who to credit, but they sure took the craft world by storm! Lots of fun!

I created this card for our newest grandson whose nursery theme is astronauts and space, so these sweet Bugaboo digital images were just the ticket! I printed them on Neenah Classic Crest Solar White cardstock, colored them with alcohol markers and then die cut them with stitched dies. They were adhered to stitched square die cuts on each surface of the boxes. I also used one of Lozzy’s Star Splash Mixed Media digital papers for some extra-terrestrial goodness! ;)

Here are shots of the back. The one I found on Pinterest had a plain back so I gave this one my twist with another martian die cut, stamped sentiment, punched hearts and a Neenah Classic Crest Solar White cardstock block for signing.

And one more look… folded flat for mailing. Totally loving how this turned out! So stinkin’ cute!

Merry Christmas

Happy Friday, friends! I hope you’ve had a fabulous week! It’s the first of the month and you know what that means – lots of posts – so stay tuned! 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 Merry Little Christmas Challenge Blog and I’m thrilled to share my DT inspiration project for MLCCB #30 – January Anything Christmas Goes! I created a pretty pop-up music-themed Christmas card! I’ve seen a ton of piano cards on Pinterest and I really liked the concept so I designed my own version. My first card on the books for this year’s Christmas card stash! I know what you’re thinking… and there’s no such thing as ‘too early’ lol!

I cut 11 white piano keys from Neenah Classic Crest Solar White cardstock and eight narrow black piano keys from American Crafts black cardstock for each piano top (one for the front and one for the inside) and assembled them. For definition, I ran a black marker around each white piano key before adhering. I die cut and assembled the poinsettia. I have to say that I’ve had the best time with this poinsettia die set… I’ve created several cards with it and it’s definitely one of my favorites! I adhered a panel of sheet music to red cardstock to use on the front. For the final step, I heat embosssed the Merry Christmas sentiment in white on red cardstock, and adhered it to the top of the piano top with dimensional foam tape. I then adhered all the elements to the front of the card base.

I stamped the inside sentiment in red ink and then adhered the pop-up mechanism cut from Neenah Classic Crest Solar White cardstock to the center of the inside of the card base. I then adhered the piano top to the pop-up mechanism. I included an angled shot below so you can see how easy the construction is – very basic.

And here’s one more peek… I’m absolutely smitten with how this turned out! One of my favorite ever cards!

You Are In My Prayers

Hello again, peeps! Well, I thought I was finished posting for the year but decided to create one more card this afternoon to enter into The Outlawz Festive Fridays Challenge! Our sponsor is Fred She Said, and participants have the option to choose from New Year, Christmas, Thinking of You and Anything Goes themes – and I chose the Thinking of You theme this time. I created a triple cube fun fold with an inspirational feel that I thought would be a good ending to 2020. I love me some fun folds and this is actually the second one of these I’ve made – you’ll see the first one on January 1st!

Despite it’s looks, this really is a super easy card to create. I reached for some double-sided papers in teals with a floral pattern on one side and stripes on the other which I paired with light and dark teal cardstock. I added an iridescent gemstone to the center of each flower on the panels for a little interest.

COVID came to mind while I was creating this card so I chose this sentiment that would be appropriate for someone who isn’t feeling well or is dealing with a sick family member or dear friend, or for someone who has lost a family member or friend. It has been a horrible year and I really hope 2021 is a better one for everybody.

And one more peek… flattened out and ready to put into an envelope. I love that this folds flat for mailing!
