Category: Fun Fold

Book lover

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. ;)

Just Rowing by to say HI

Hey everybody, I hope your week has started off on a nice note and your weather isn’t too awfully hot where you are. I’m back this morning with another post for Keep It Simple. It’s turning out to be a busy day on my blog and I’m glad you’re here! I created a library pocket card featuring papers, stamps and dies from our new Vikings collection. OMGoodness, this is such an amazing collection and I see it getting a lot of use! And of course, this library pocket card really shows off these fun products! I do have typed instructions for this fold, so if you’d like to have them, let me know!

I cut the pocket and insert from CutCardStock Royal Sundance Kraft Fiber cardstock and rounded the corners on the flap. I cut layering panels from coordinating prints in the Vikings 6×9 Collection Pack to embellish the front. I stamped the focal image from the Vikings Collection Stamps in Memento Espresso Truffle ink and colored it with an assortment of markers. I cut it with the coordinating Vikings Outline Die and adhered it to the pocket front with thin foam squares. The finishing touch for the front was adding the sentiment (from the same stamp set) which I stamped in the brown ink and trimmed.

I rounded the corners of the insert and embellished it with coordinating papers from the Vikings Collection Pack. I stamped another sentiment in the brown ink and added a stamped and die cut helmet. This is so stinkin’ cute I can’t stand it!

You’re the Fairest of them All

Hey everybody, I hope you’re having a terrific Tuesday! Not sure why but our day temps have been in the mid to upper 70s – and nights in the upper 50s to low 60s! I can dig it! I’m delighted to share another inspiration project for Keep It Simple created with our new Once Upon A Time: Snow White collection. I used papers, stamps and dies from this new collection to make an awesome twisted gate fold, and enjoyed every minute of it. This is such a fantastic fold that’s really easy and packs a punch.

Cut the card base from Papertrey Ink Prairie Grass cardstock at 7-1/2″ x 4-1/4″, scored at 2-1/2″ and 5″. This panel now is divided into three sections. Score the left and right sections from the upper left corner diagonally down to the bottom right corner, leaving the middle section alone. Mountain fold the two diagonal score lines and valley fold the two straight score lines, using a bone folder to burnish the creases.

Cut two panels of patterned paper from the Snow White 12×12 Collection Pack at 2-1/4″ x 3-7/8″ and decide which print you want for the ‘upper’ and ‘lower’ flaps. For the upper flaps (the yellow print on my project), cut the panel diagonally from the upper left corner down to the lower right corner. For the lower flaps (the green print on my project), cut the upper right corner down to the lower left corner. Adhere the panels to the flaps.

Using the Snow White Collection Stamps, stamp Snow White on Neenah Classic Crest 80# Solar White cardstock in Memento Tuxedo Black ink. Color her with alcohol markers, cut her with the coordinating Outline Die, and adhere her to the card front. Be sure to apply the adhesive only to one side so the card opens and closes properly. Stamp the first part of the sentiment (from the same stamp set) in Versafine Onyx Black ink.

The sentiment was too large to fit on the inside panel, so I stamped it on a full sheet of 80# Solar White and ran it through the laser printer on 50% reduction. I trimmed the panel and layered it on a slightly larger panel of the Prairie Grass cardstock, and this completed the card. Love, love, love how this turned out!

Thinking of You

Hi friends, it’s Friday (again) and I hope you have something fabulous planned this weekend. I just can’t believe how fast the days, weeks and months are flying by! Our new challenge is live this morning over at Creative Creases and I’m thrilled to share my DT inspiration project for Challenge #106. I love pansies and I really enjoyed putting this card together. I made it a while back for a friend battling cancer and I’m not even sure she received it. I had sent her several cards and never got a response about any of them, so I just don’t know. If she did get it, I hope she enjoyed it as much as I enjoyed making it. ;)

Using the Wheelbarrow Box Card cut file from Cyndy G SVG, I cut all the pieces from CutCardStock Pop Tone Hot Fudge, Pop Tone Black Licorice, Pop Tone Grapesicle, Pop Tone Lemon Drop, Pop Tone Sweet Tooth, Pop Tone Grape Jelly and Pop Tone Jellybean Green cardstock. In looking back, I wish I had used a woodgrain stamp on the background. I will definitely do that the next time I use this cut file.

Here’s a shot of the back. I stamped a sentiment from The Cat’s Pajamas Simply Stacked Sentiments stamp set in Memento Rich Cocoa ink. Easy peasy and sure packs a punch!

Let’s Party Like It’s 1000 BC

Hey y’all, I’m baaaack! In my last post, I mentioned that I have two Keep It Simple DT inspiration projects to share today, and this second one is a shirt card featuring papers and die cut pieces from our brand new Vikings Collection that just launched yesterday. I totally love this collection and I just HAD to make another shirt card using my own template. I hope you’re not too tired of seeing shirt cards, lol, because I’ve made quite a few of them over the past several months. They are so fun and everybody loves them!

I cut the card base (shirt, sleeves and collar) from CutCardStock Lessebo White cardstock along with layering panels from coordinating prints in the Vikings 12×12 Collection Pack. I used Back To Basics Jade Enamel Dots for the buttons and added a sentiment from the Vikings Die Cut Pieces.

I cut the inside panel from Lessebo White as well, and embellished it with a leftover strip of the paper used for the shirt. I added another sentiment and two more die cuts from the Vikings Die Cut Pieces, which completed the card. Easy peasy and totally adorable!

Living the fairytale

Hey everybody, happy weekend! Dang, I just can’t get over how fast this month has flown by! I have a couple Keep It Simple inspiration projects to share today (in separate posts) and they both are so stinkin’ cute, I can’t stand it! This one is a matchbox pop-up and features our new Once Upon A Time: Snow White Collection that launched a couple weeks ago… if you’re a princess fan, this collection is definitely for you. I’ve only made one of these matchbox pop-ups prior to this one and I’ve had the notes in my folder for so long I don’t remember where I originally saw it. But if you search for it online, you’ll find quite a few out there. It’s a fun one, for sure, and really packs a punch!

I cut the box base and slide-in from Neenah Classic Crest 110# Solar White cardstock along with layering panels for both pieces from coordinating prints in the Snow White 6×9 Collection Pack. I grabbed the Snow White Die Cut Pieces and picked out a sentiment, Snow White, the seven dwarfs, and some critters to embellish both pieces. This project went together seamlessly and I just love how it turned out!

Igloo Sweet Igloo

Hey everybody, top of the morning to you, and here’s wishing you a wonderful week ahead! I’m delighted to share another Keep It Simple DT inspiration project that’s being featured on our How To’s page on the website. This ‘tri-fold with a view’ fun fold features papers, stamps and dies from our Penguin Party Collection. I also used our Back To Basics Stitched Circles and Stitched Rectangles Nested Dies along with our Back To Basics Pastel Gingham Ribbon and Pastel Glitter Enamel Dots.

I cut the card base from CutCardStock Aubergine cardstock and embellished the card front with coordinating prints from the Penguin Party 12×12 Collection Pack. The sentiment is from the Igloo Collection Stamps, and I added pastel enamel dots and a tiny pastel gingham bow, both from our Back To Basics line.

The images in the little scene are from the Igloo Collection Stamps and cut with the coordinating Igloo Outline Dies, adhered to a circle cut from 12×12 Cardstock Shop Encore Glacier Melt Textured Cardstock.

For the inside panel, I used more paper and a sentiment stamp from the Penguin Party Collection, and added a rectangle die cut from our Back To Basics Stitched Rectangles Nested Dies. For more details, be sure to see my tutorial on the Keep It Simple website!

Scrappy hugs,

You Croc My World!

Hi everyone, Happy Monday – I hope you had a great weekend! I’m up on the CutCardStock blog today with a tutorial for making a ‘love you just because’ half flap card. Talk about easy peasy… this is one of the easiest cards ever! I used a 110# Solar White A2 Folded Card Base with Mantis Green, Granny Smith, Scottish Highlands Green, Kale Green, and Silk Glitter Red Flash cardstock. And see that diagonal line of little gold dots toward the top left? Those were made with the EK Tools Dual Tip Gold Pen. I think this is my all-time favorite gold pen because it doesn’t leave that oily-looking rim around whatever you draw or write. And this croc is beyond adorable – I just love me some Lawn Fawn!

I used a Neenah Classic Crest 110# Solar White A2 Folded Card Base. Then I built my diagonal strip background on a piece of 20# copy paper covered with a Scrapbook Adhesives Adhesive Sheet. I cut strips from Mantis Green, Granny Smith, Scottish Highlands Green and Kale Green cardstock using the Scrapbook.com Decorative Long Strips Dies and trimmed it to fit the top portion of the card front. Using the EK Tools Dual Tip Gold Pen, I added some dots and then added two more layers to a couple other strips for a little interest.

Using the Lawn Fawn Croc My World stamps, I stamped the crocodile on 80# Solar White cardstock, colored him with G85 and G99 Copic Ciao alcohol markers, and cut him with the coordinating die. I layered him on two more die cuts for dimension. I stamped the sentiment in Catherine Pooler Eucalyptus ink and then added the croc to the flap. I also added a double layer red glitter heart cut from Silk Glitter Red Flash cardstock and a leftover strip which I adhered vertically on the left side of the flap along with three tiny buttons.

I cut the inside panel from 80# Solar White cardstock, stamped a sentiment from the Love From Lizi Summer Botany stamp set in the green ink, and layered the panel on Kale Green cardstock.
