Category: Fun Fold

Good Vibes Only

Hey everybody, a very happy Thursday to you! I hope you’re having a great week. I’m thrilled to share that I’ve re-joined the ScrapbookingStore design team! I was gone less than a year and really missed playing with their monthly kits. With Ed’s most recent (additional) cancer diagnoses, I stepped away from one of my teams and considered stepping away from one other. I soon realized that I need to remain committed to my crafting and not alienate myself, and this gig was already in the works, so here I am – back at it doing what I love!

Now check out this cool inspiration project created with the September 2025 Scrapbook Kit with Upgrades. My inspiration for this double lower gate fold came from Lisa’s blog and features a card within a card! On this version, the short flap opens from right to left and the longer flap opens from left to right to reveal a small top-folding card with a sentiment inside. Lisa’s video is HERE but there are A LOT of videos on YouTube for this particular fold and I think they are all pretty much the same. You’ll love how easy it is!

I cut the card base and small inside card from CutCardStock Lessebo Pitch Black cardstock along with layering panels from an assortment of prints in the Carta Bella At Home Collection Kit.

To embellish this card, I used stickers from the sticker sheet along with die cuts from the Carta Bella At Home Frames & Tags and Rosie’s Studio Fanciful Gemstones (both from the upgrades).

I cut the inside sentiment panel from Neenah Classic Crest 80# Solar White cardstock and embellished it with a leftover strip of the patterned paper used on the long flap, and added a sentiment from the die cuts. Love how this turned out!

Hey everybody, happy Wednesday! Here we are headed toward the middle of September already. You better get crackin’ on your Christmas projects and cards because it’ll be here in the blink of an eye, lol! I’m up on the Love From Lizi blog today with a tutorial for making a different version of the tri-fold card. This one has a vertical orientation versus the usual ones we see with a horizontal orientation, and I really like this. This card is the second project I’ve made with items in the amazing September 2025 Super Kit. There are so many fun products in this kit and it was curated for the current Love From Lizi kit subscribers as a thank you for supporting Lizi’s business. She puts out a super kit like this one every year and the price is that of the regular monthly kit despite the fact that it’s almost double the value. And they sell out quick, so if you want one, be sure to grab it before it sells out!

I used white cardstock from the super kit for the folded card base, inside layering panel and the die cut label for the focal image. I also used CutCardStock Lessebo Navy Blue cardstock for the flat card base and layering panels along with patterned papers from the Garden Grace paper pack in the super kit.

I stamped an image from the Garden Grace stamp set in the super kit and colored it with colored pencils. I embellished the outer edges of the flat card base with Mink Pearlescent cardstock and pin stripe peel-offs from the super kit. There are also dried flowers in the super kit, so I fashioned a bouquet and adhered it to the card front along with a few white gemstones from the Tropical Escapes Mixed Size Gems from the store.

Here’s a shot of the inside which shows another panel and another sentiment stamped from the Garden Grace stamp set. Love, love, love how this turned out! Be sure to visit the Love From Lizi blog to see my tutorial if you want to learn how to make this!

Hey everybody, happy Wednesday – I hope you’re having a great week! I’m up on the Scrapbook Pal blog today sharing a tutorial for making a super cute shadow box birthday card featuring the Lawn Fawn Silly Goose! Stamps, Stencils and Dies. I also used the Spellbinders Emerald Cut Labels and Tag Dies along with the Spellbinders Scallop and Stitched Edge Ovals Dies and a ton of other products on the website. This is truly one of the easiest fun folds ever, and it can be tailored for any occasion! You may have seen other versions of the shadow box fun fold but I recently discovered this one and I have to say that I like it the best!

I won’t go into huge detail here (check out my tutorial on the Scrapbook Pal blog for more details) but in a nutshell, I used CutCardStock Bazzill Basics Peach cardstock for the base and Lawn Fawn Spiffier Speckles paper which I LOVE. I cut the aperture in the front using an outline die from the Spellbinders Emerald Cut Labels and Tag Dies, and embellished it with a frame (using the same emerald cut die set) and a bow cut from CutCardStock Gold Glitter cardstock using a die from the Spellbinders Scallop and Stitched Edge Ovals Dies.

Of course, the little scene inside was created with stamped, stenciled and/or colored, and die cut images from the Lawn Fawn Silly Goose! stamps, stencils and dies. I inked the background using some Ranger distress inks and a handmade cloud stencil. This was a fun one and I totally love how it turned out!

I stamped a sentiment from the same stamp set on the back panel and added another goose with party hat and a present. Let me know if you make one of these – you’re gonna love how easy it is!

Howdy peeps, Happy Friday! I hope you’ve had a good week. I’m delighted to share my final Brutus Monroe DT inspiration project with you today featuring the Teacher’s Apple stamp set and coordinating prints from the Book Club paper pack. I also used Heather cardstock, the Super Sentimental stamp set (for the inside sentiment), and some Topaz crystals. This is the first explosion card I’ve made in years and I had forgotten how fun they are! It’s such an easy element to add to any card – and it packs a serious punch!

I cut a standard A2 size side-folding card base from Heather cardstock along with a layering panel from the Book Club 6×6 Paper Collection. For the explosion element, cut a 4″ x 4″ square and make a light pencil mark at 1-1/4″, 2″, and 2-3/4″ on all four sides. Make two diagonal score lines across each corner between the two outermost pencil marks. Fold mountain then valley on each score line and erase the pencil marks. If you use a lighter weight double-sided patterned paper, you’ll get different prints on each side. I used the Heather cardstock for this one, which is thicker, so I improvised and added panels of patterned paper from the Book Club paper pack.

I stamped a sentiment from the Teacher’s Apple stamp set in Raven ink in the lower right corner of the card front. I then stamped the focal image (from the same stamp set) on 80# Solar White cardstock in assorted inks, fussy cut it, and adhered it in the center of the explosion element which I adhered to a 3″ x 3″ panel of Heather cardstock. I added some rosy cheeks to the apple’s face with a Pink Flamingo marker and colored the mouth with a Tuxedo Black marker, and then added some small details with a Sakura White Gelly Roll pen. The finishing touch on the front was adding a few Topaz Flat Back Crystals.

I cut the inside panel from 80# Solar White cardstock and embellished it with a leftover strip of the Book Club paper used on the front. I stamped a sentiment from the Super Sentimental stamp set in Raven ink and adhered the panel to the inside of the card base.

Hey everybody – I hope you’ve had a great week and have something fun planned this weekend! Our new challenge is live this morning over at Creative Creases and I’m super stoked to share my DT inspiration project for Challenge #107. Come on over and play with us – we LOVE fun folds and we’d love to see yours! I created an oldie but goodie angled gate fold which is always a fun one to make. There are soooo many gate fold varieties out there and it’s been a while since I’ve made one like this. Of course, they are always the most fun made with double sided paper… and as you can well imagine, I have a ton of that! The papers, cardstock stickers and ephemera are all from the Simple Stories The Simple Life Collection Kit.

Cut the card base at 5-1/2″ x 12″ from your choice of double-sided paper and score it at 2″, 4″, 8″ and 10″. Measure down 4″ from the top edge on both the left and right sides and make a light pencil mark. Cut the left side diagonally from the first score line down to the pencil mark, and the right side from the fourth score line down to the pencil mark. Mountain-valley-valley-mountain fold on the four score lines with the valley score lines meeting in the middle. Most people stop at this point but I added two additional diagonal panels to the bottom. I also added narrow strips of coordinating paper to the diagonal edges for a little interest.

I created a rosette focal using my Sizzix-Tim Holtz Mini Paper Rosettes die and added two circles cut with the Love From Lizi Stitched Circle Nested Cutting dies, a sentiment, heart, and butterfly from the ephemera. The final touch on the front was adding a small disc magnet on the back of the rosette to keep the card closed.

I cut the inside panel from Neenah Classic Crest 80# Solar White cardstock and embellished it with two cardstock stickers and a heart from the ephemera. Love, love, love how this turned out!

Scrappy hugs,

hey, there!

Hey everybody – happy first Thursday in September! I want to know how it got here so fast! I’m up on the CutCardStock blog today with a tutorial for making a super cool box card featuring cowboy boots, sunflowers and daisies. I’ve had an absolute ball playing with my Cricut and used the Cyndy G SVG Boots SVG cut file for this one which I totally love! I used a variety of cardstock in our Lessebo line in addition to a few others to bring it to life. I will admit that there are quite a few pieces but it went together seamlessly and without a hitch!

I cut the box card base, hay embellishment and inserts from Lessebo Brick Orange; sunflower petals and daisy centers from Lessebo Sunset Orange; boot soles, sunflower centers and insert layers from Lessebo Coffee Bean; sunflower center layers from Twine; greenery and layers from Lessebo Moss Green; boots from Silk Glitter Opulent Opal and Stardream Metallic Eris; and daisy petals from Lessebo White.

As I always say… the assembly is the most fun and I really enjoyed putting this one together! I used Tombow Mono Liquid Multi Purpose Glue for the entire assembly along with a few foam squares to pop up some of the elements. I’ve been using another glue in my glue press for a while now and decided to switch to the Tombow for a bit. I stamped a sentiment from the Stampin’ Up Charming Sentiments stamp set in Memento Rich Cocoa ink and cut it with the coordinating Stampin’ Up Sentiment Silhouettes die.

Using a Love From Lizi Stitched Rectangle Nested Cutting Die, I cut a rectangle for the back sentiment from Neenah Classic Crest 80# Solar White cardstock. I stamped a sentiment from the Stampin’ Up Best of Greetings stamp set in Memento Rich Cocoa ink. Love, love, love how this turned out! I also have a cowboy hat box card SVG cut file (also designed by Cyndy G) which I intend to make fairly soon, so stay tuned for that one as well!

Hey everybody, happy Wednesday – I hope you’re having a good week and you’re finding some time to craft. By now you all know that love making fun folds. In all honesty, I’d rather make fun folds than regular cards, lol! I think I may have already said that a time or two! I’m up on the Love From Lizi blog sharing a tutorial for making a diamond column pop up card. This fun fold is new to me and I really enjoyed making it.

I’ve used items from our September super kit that is jam-packed with all kinds of amazing products. The super kit is put out once a year for the Love From Lizi kit subscribers as a way of saying thanks for their support. The cost of the super kit is that of a regular monthly kit despite it being nearly double the value. It is available, however, as a one-off purchase for non-subscribers but at a slightly higher cost. It does sell out quickly every year so be sure to grab yours while it’s in stock!  

Be sure to visit the Love From Lizi blog to see my tutorial if you’d like to learn how to make this awesome fun fold. In a nutshell, the base and pillars were cut from CutCardStock Royal Sundance Kraft Fiber cardstock, and the layering panels and die cut ovals were cut from papers and cardstock in the September Super Kit. I foiled the focal image with a gold foil sheet and a floral image in the Super Kit as well. The sentiment is from the Garden Grace stamp set in the Super Kit, stamped in Catherine Pooler Spruce ink, and the white pearls are from the Mini Pearl Strips on the website. I’ve included front and angled shots below.

I cut the back panels from Solar White cardstock and embellished them with ephemera from the Super Kit. I stamped an additional sentiment from the Garden Grace stamp set in the Super Kit in green ink, and layered the panels on cardstock from the Super Kit.

Hi friends, Happy Friday – I hope your weather is cooling off and you have something fun planned this weekend! We’ve had some beautiful temps in the high 60s and low 70s, and I sure wish it would stay like this year round. I’m thrilled to share a thank you card for Brutus Monroe featuring the Book Lover stamp and coordinating prints from the Book Club paper pack. This accordion layered fun fold also shows off our Buttercream cardstock, an inside sentiment from the Super Sentimental stamp set, and our Topaz crystals.

I cut the card base at 5-1/2″ x 12″ and scored it at 1-3/4″, 4-3/4″ and 7-3/4. I chose three patterns from the Book Club 6×6 Paper Collection for the three panels seen from the front. I stamped the Book Lover image on Cougar 80# Smooth White cardstock, colored it with assorted markers, and cut it with a Scrapbook.com Nested A2 Arches die. Unfortunately, once again, I’ve discovered that the Book Lover stamp is no longer available. I did a quick scan of the website for book-themed stamps, and a stamp from either the Book Dance or Gnome Books sets would be adorable on this card!

Using more of the Scrapbook.com Nested A2 Arches dies, I cut a series of shaped panels from CutCardStock Cougar 80# Smooth White cardstock, patterned paper from the Book Club paper pack, and Buttercream cardstock. I layered them together in three sets and adhered one set to each of the three panels, smallest to largest, with the stamped image on the front.

I embellished the inside panel with a patterned paper strip and stamped a sentiment from the Super Sentimental stamp set.

Hey everybody, Happy Wednesday – I hope your week is going along nicely! I’m up on the Scrapbook Pal blog today sharing a tutorial for making a 3D window card featuring the new Gina K Designs Hoots & Owls stamps and dies. I also used the Spellbinders Scallop and Stitched Edge Ovals which I’ve fallen in love with. All of these products are so versatile and I’m sure I’ll get lots of use out of them. The stamp set has five owls and a ton of sentiments, and there are dies for every single one!

I cut the four card base pieces and pop up mechanism from CutCardStock Lessebo Navy Blue cardstock along with layering panels from Dare 2B Artzy Hoot Hoot paper and Orange Plaid paper, both from the Fields of Joy Collection. I was so stoked to find these papers in my stash – they almost looked like they were designed to go with these stamps!

I adhered a narrow 80# Solar White cardstock panel on the back and embellished it with images and a sentiment stamped from the Hoots & Owls stamps and cut with the coordinating dies. I totally love how this turned out! If you want more in-depth details, be sure to see my tutorial on the Scrapbook Pal website.

Hello Sweet Summertime

8/9/25 Weekly Favorite at Splitcoast Stampers!

Hey, everybody – Happy Tuesday! I’m back with my third post this morning… this time to let you know that I’m up on the CutCardStock blog today with a tutorial for making a sweet (pun intended) summertime box card. After all, we are still in the throes of Summer and I know most folks are wishing it would start cooling off. I’ve had lots of Cricut playtime over the past couple months since we moved. Ed built me a nice 4′ x 6′ craft table and I love having the extra space to keep my Cricut out. I know I’ll use it more often now that it no longer lives in a cabinet, lol!

At any rate, this awesome SVG cut file is from Cyndy G SVG and I’m totally enamored with it. Ed and I LOVE watermelon so this was right up my alley. I used Lessebo Coffee Bean, Neenah Classic Crest 80# Solar White, Pop Tone Black Licorice, Pop Tone Red Hot, Pop Tone Banana Split, Pop Tone Gumdrop Green, Pop Tone Jellybean Green, Pop Tone Hot Fudge, and Scottish Highlands Green – all available on the CutCardStock website.

Using the Watermelon Crate Box Card SVG cut file from Cyndy G SVG, I cut the crate from Lessebo Coffee Bean and Pop Tone Hot Fudge; the inserts from Lessebo Coffee Bean; the watermelons from Pop Tone Black Licorice, Pop Tone Red Hot, Pop Tone Gumdrop Green and Pop Tone Jellybean Green; the flowers from Pop Tone Banana Split; and the vines from Scottish Highlands Green.

You’ve heard me say a hundred times that the assembly is always the most fun part of making these kinds of projects. Well, this one was no exception – I had a blast! Once the box and inserts were assembled, I used alpha stickers from the Carta Bella Flora No. 6 Collection Kit to spell HELLO on the crate, and embellished the flowers with Echo Park My Favorite Summer Adhesive Brads.

I cut the sentiment panel on the back from Neenah Classic Crest 80# Solar White and Scottish Highlands Green. I added a sentiment sticker from Echo Park My Favorite Summer Collection Kit, which completed the card. I’ve included below an additional angled shot. If you’d like a few more details on how this card went together, be sure to see my tutorial on the CutCardStock blog. ;)
