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!

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!

Oh Baby!

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!

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!

Don’t stop believin’

Hi everyone! Happy Saturday – I hope you’ve had a great week! I’m happy to be back on the Eyelet Outlet blog today with another awesome DT inspiration project! I created a fun double flap Christmas card… and you know how much I love fun folds! I’ve had this one in my tutorial folder for a while and thought it would be fun to bring it around again to create a Christmas card.

I used a pretty chartreuse green cardstock for the card base and green plaid digital paper layered on gold foil cardstock for the left flap. I used a coordinating solid green digital paper layered on gold foil cardstock for the right flap. I tore several layers of white cardstock to create snow banks and randomly placed some Pine Tree Brads which I embellished with thin lines of glitter drops to resemble snow. I stamped Santa and his reindeer along with a sentiment in black ink, and then adhered the layered panel to the right flap. I added Ivory Enamel Dots to the left flap to complete the front. 

I embellished the inside panel with a strip of Tree Washi Tape -Wide and a narrow strip of the chartreuse green cardstock, and stamped the sentiment in black ink. 

And one more peek… I really do love this fold! And these brads and washi tape are pretty awesome too! ;)

Merry Christmas!

Happy Hump Day, friends! I hope your week is off to a great start! I made time in my studio yesterday afternoon to create a fun fold card for The Outlawz Challenges! I’m playing in the December Freebie/Progressive Challenge and we were gifted the adorable Gina Christmas Elf digital image from our sponsor, MoonFlower Digistamps. This is a center panel easel card done in traditional red and green Christmas colors! If you haven’t started on your Christmas cards yet, you better get crackin’ because it’ll be here before you know it!

I created the card base from Neenah Solar white cardstock and cut layering panels from some pretty coordinating Echo Park patterned papers. I colored the image with Prismacolor pencils, cut it with a stitched oval die and layered it on a slightly larger stitched oval die cut. I used my Snow Marker to give her hat and dress trim a little dimension. I love that stuff! The sentiments are computer-generated and I embellished the image and the card base with Eyelet Outlet bling.

Here’s an angled shot so you can see the simple construction. This is by far the easiest easel card I’ve ever created – and I’ve made quite a few over the years!

And one more look… folded flat for mailing. Such a fun card – and I absolutely love this image!

Let it Snow

Hello again! I’m back with another card I’ve showcased this morning on the Prickley Pear Stamps blog using the Snow Family clear stamp set! You know me and fun folds… I’m always on the look-out to try a new one! I saw this one in a Splitcoast Stampers newsletter not too awfully long ago, called a triple fold card with a belly band, and the tutorial can be found HERE. I had actually found the same fold (but reversed) on the Stempeleinmaleins blog this past Summer HERE which I planned to try at some point. But either way, this fold is super fun and easy, and sure packs a punch! ;)

I created the card base from teal cardstock and adhered two coordinating patterned paper layers on the folded panels. I created a layered belly band embellished with two snowflake brads to keep the card closed when it’s finished.

I stamped Poppa Snowman on the front left panel, then stamped him again on white cardstock which I colored with alcohol markers, fussy cut and paper pieced on the left panel. I stamped the sentiment and added a snowflake brad with collage medium. I took the prongs off the brad since I didn’t want them to show through on the other side.

I embellished the inside panel with a piece of the snowflake patterned paper, a stamped and die cut sentiment and a narrow strip of the teal cardstock.

And one more look… I love this fold so much that I have another base cut and folded and ready to turn into a project, lol, so stay tuned! ;)

Happy Christmas

Hi everyone! Happy Thursday! It’s Day 4 of the 2020 Cat Lovers Hop already and I’m back this afternoon with a fun Christmas center panel easel card! The Hop is going on until the 31st, so if you’re a fellow cat lover, come join us! There’s a lot of fun and games to join in every day, and Janis has been busy lining up some pretty awesome prizes to give away at the end!

I still had Tim’s Crazy Cats and Crazy Things stamps and dies within reach after using them day before yesterday, so I grabbed them and The Project Bin’s Merriest Christmas stamp set which has sentiments that go perfectly with this cat, lol! This guy is so stinkin’ cute I can’t stand it!

I created the card base from Solar White cardstock and layers from coordinating Christmas papers. This is an easy fold that works up quickly. I adjusted the measurements to make this a 5″ square card.

Here’s an angled view so you can see the cool but simple construction. Not sure why his hat is looking orangey in the photos… hmmmm…

And one more peek… here it is folded (almost) flat for mailing! Another one for the stash! ;)

Happy Birthday tag card

Hi everyone! It’s Hump Day and it’s Day 3 of the 2020 Cat Lovers Hop! The Hop is going on until the 31st, so if you’re a fellow cat lover, come join us! There’s a lot of fun and games to join in every day, and Janis has been busy lining up some pretty awesome prizes to give away at the end!

I have a really fun tag card design of my own to share with you today that features super awesome Laurel Burch stamps! Who doesn’t LOVE to color Laurel Burch stamps (especially the cats)?! The sky is the limit with color choices! The bolder and brighter, the better, I say! ;)

I cut a top-folding card base in the shape of a tag and then picked out two coordinating bright pink papers along with some pink washi tape that I applied at the seam. I stamped, colored and fussy cut the images and adhered them to the panel, then stamped the sentiment and applied several small iridescent gemstones that I colored with a pink alcohol marker. I created hole reinforcements from white cardstock with two circle punches. I punched a hole through both layers of the card base and adhered reinforcements on the front and back side of the front flap. The final step was adding ribbon.

I created the inside panel just like the front panel, stamped the sentiment, added the hole reinforcements, and added a stitched square die cut for the signature area.

And one more peek… I’m in love with this design and see more of these in my future! So fun!
