Fun Fold – Page 8 – Love To Scrap 2

Happy Holidays

Hey everybody, happy weekend – I hope you’re having a good one! It’s Christmas in July all over the place! I’m delighted to share a Brutus Monroe DT inspiration project featuring the beautiful Wooded Gathering and Good Tidings stamp sets which I paired with Gingerbread and Scarlet cardstock along with patterned papers from the Winter Wings and Love Letters paper collections. I also used the Lace Layers dies and some Red Shift Flat Back Crystals to bring this card to life. This tented easel card is on my (long) list of all-time favorite fun folds and I’ve made quite a few of them over the years. I love that it showcases large stamps so beautifully.

I cut the card base from Gingerbread cardstock along with layering panels from prints in the Winter Wings and Love Letters paper collections. I stamped the large image from the Wooded Gathering stamp set in Catherine Pooler Icing on the Cake ink on CutCardStock Baronial Ivory cardstock and then spritzed it with Ornament Gold Chroma Mist.

I stamped a sentiment from the same stamp set in brown ink vertically on the left side of the focal image, and then added an edge from a Lace Layers die cut which I cut from Scarlet cardstock. I also stamped a sentiment from the Good Tidings stamp set and layered it on a Lace Layers die cut, also cut from the Scarlet cardstock. I adhered this to the bottom panel, popped up on a foam strip, which was the stopper to aid the card in standing for display.

I cut the inside panel from Baronial Ivory cardstock and embellished it with a leftover patterned paper strip. I stamped another sentiment in brown ink from the same Wooded Gathering stamp set and layered the panel on Scarlet cardstock. I’ve also included an angled shot so you can see the cool construction.

Best Friends Forever

Hey everybody, Happy Hump Day! I hope you’re having a good week. I’m up on the Love From Lizi blog today with a tutorial for making a double flap fun fold featuring our Happy Days papers, Best Friends Forever stamps, and yellow pinstripe and black mini heart peel-offs – all from our July release. I also used an additional stamp set, a couple die sets and some gemstones from the store to make this card come to life. There seem to be quite a few versions of the double flap fun fold out there but this one is my favorite.

I cut the card base and second flap element from 12×12 Cardstock Shop Lead Encore Textured cardstock along with layering panels from coordinating prints in the Happy Days 6×6 Patterned Paper Pack. I also cut two labels (using the Stitched Label Nested Cutting Dies) from 12×12 Cardstock Shop Pink Champagne Encore Textured cardstock. Next I cut two circles (using the Stitched Circle Nested Cutting Dies) from 80# Solar White and one from the Lead cardstock. I added several white gemstones from the Tropical Escapes Mix Size Gems.

I stamped a sentiment and images from the Best Friends Forever stamp set in Catherine Pooler Black Jack and Twilight inks, and partially colored the images with a Blush Copic Ciao alcohol marker. I embellished the striped panel on the front of the second flap with Yellow Pinstripe and Black Mini Heart Peel-Offs.

I cut the inside panel from 80# Solar White cardstock and embellished it with a leftover strip of the dotted patterned paper from the Happy Days paper pack. I stamped a sentiment from the Simply Amazing stamp set and layered the panel inside the second flap. If you want more details, be sure to see my tutorial on the Love From Lizi blog! ;)

Curled in Happiness

Hey everybody, a very happy Wednesday to you! We’re already a week into July… what happened to June, lol?! I’m up on the Scrapbook Pal blog today sharing a tutorial for making a hedgehog friendship card featuring the Gina K Designs Hedgehogs in Happiness Stamp & Die Bundle. If you know me, you know I’m a huge fan of fun folds. Everywhere I turn, I see another one I want to try! There are at least three versions of the corner fold card out there that I’ve seen, and when I got these adorable hedgehog stamps and dies in my hands, I knew I had to use them for this particular card.

I cut the folded portion of the card base (main element) and a couple smaller panels from Stampin’ Up Color Me Autumn DSP. I cut the flat card base and two additional panels from CutCardStock Basis Dark Orange cardstock and the front panel from Neenah Classic Crest Baronial Ivory and CutCardStock Pop Tone Jellybean Green cardstock. The images and sentiments are from the new Gina K Designs Hedgehogs in Happiness Stamp & Die Bundle. I colored the images with Copic Ciao alcohol markers and cut them with the coordinating dies.

And here’s a shot of the inside, with the card opened up and the corner folded back. This really is a delightful fold, and if you’re interested in seeing how I made it, be sure to check out my tutorial on the Scrapbook Pal blog!

Get Well gate fold

Hi friends, I’m back with my second post of the day. The weeks sure do seem to fly by quickly these days! It’ll be Christmas before we know it… we are officially past the halfway mark of 2025. Yep, that’s my story and I’m stickin’ to it. I’m delighted to share an inspiration project for Brutus Monroe today where I combined the mini slimline size with the gate fold design and came up with a pretty get well card. This card features the amazing Heart Hands Cutting dies which are absolutely perfect for this design. I paired this die set with panels of Pink Lemonade, Sea, and Not Your Mamas Cardstock along with some Spring Splatter Paper. I also used our timeless (and my favorite) Super Sentimental Stamp Set and some Light Pink Flat Back Crystals.

I cut a 3-1/2″ x 6″ mini slimline landscape gate fold card base from Pink Lemonade cardstock along with layering panels from a print in the Spring Splatter 6×6 paper collection. Using the Heart Hands Cutting Dies, I cut the hands, fingernails and heart from Not Your Mamas cardstock and colored them with Copic Ciao alcohol markers.

I added some shimmer to the fingernails with Sakura Clear Star Gelly Roll pen which I topped with some Ranger Glossy Accents. The heart cut a bunch of tiny strips which I backed on a scrap of the white cardstock and then inked the edges with Alabaster ink. I stamped the sentiment from the Super Sentimental stamp set in Raven ink and added a small disc magnet to keep the card closed.

I embellished the inside white cardstock panel with a strip of the patterned paper used on the front. I stamped another sentiment from the Super Sentimental stamp set in Raven ink, colored the heart red, and layered the panel on Sea cardstock.

Hey everybody, happy Friday! If you’re in the States, I hope you’re having a wonderful July 4th holiday and you’re looking forward to lots of fun this long weekend! Our new challenge is live this morning over at Creative Creases Challenge and I’m delighted to share my DT inspiration project for Challenge #105. I am an absolute FIEND when it comes to fun folds. What’s wrong with me?! I don’t even care about making a normal A2 card anymore. This tri-fold hidden door fun fold is a delight to make and really packs a punch. This is the second one of these I’ve made – I saw it on Pinterest a while back and it led me to several different videos so it’s an easy one to find.

I cut the card base and flaps from CutCardStock Lessebo Blossom Pink cardstock along with layering panels from coordinating prints in the Melissa Frances 5th Avenue 6×6 paper pad and Neenah Classic Crest Solar White cardstock. I used stamps from the Stampin’ Up Hand-Penned Petals and Charming Sentiments stamp sets along with the coordinating dies. These images and sentiments were stamped in Versafine Onyx Black ink, Catherine Poole Mint To Be and Pixie Dust inks, and Memento Angel Pink and Bamboo Leaves inks. I added a little bow made from Keep It Simple Back To Basics Jade Ribbon, tied with my little wooden bow maker.

I embellished all the panels with either stamped or die cut florals. Totally LOVE how this turned out! It’s a fun one that you know you need to try! ;)

It’s a Pirate Party

6/28/25 Weekly Favorite (favorited by two fellow crafters) at Splitcoast Stampers!

Hi friends, happy Fri-YAY! Every day is like Friday when you’re retired! I’m delighted to share a Brutus Monroe DT inspiration project today featuring stamped, embossed and die cut images and sentiments from our Pirate Party Stamp and Die Bundle. The illusion of sea water was achieved by spritzing panels of Perfect Blend Cardstock with Tinsel Blue, Peacock and Wheat Chroma Mists which I combined with panels cut from Not Your Mamas Cardstock and Vintage Plaid Papers. This triple cube card is one of my absolute favorite fun folds of all time and I always enjoy putting them together.

I cut the card base and cube panels from Midnight cardstock along with layering panels from Perfect Blend cardstock, Not Your Mamas cardstock and Vintage Plaid paper. I spritzed the Perfect Blend cardstock with Tinsel Blue, Peacock and Wheat Chroma Mists to achieve the look of sea water. I stamped a couple sentiments and a variety of images from the Pirate Party Stamp and Die Bundle in our Raven ink and once again in our Clear Embossing ink, then heat embossed them in our Icicle Embossing Powder.

I colored the images with Karin Brushmarker Pro markers and then cut them with the coordinating dies. I created a mechanism for the front sentiment using a 3/4″ circle punch. As with all projects like this, the assembly is always the most fun, and this was no exception. It was delightful watching it come to life! The finishing touch on the front was adding several of our Violet Shift Flat Back Crystals.

I cut a couple panels from the back from Perfect Blend cardstock and adhered another couple images and a sentiment, which completed the card. How stinkin’ fun is this?!

Hey everybody, happy hump day – I hope you’re having a good week. I’m up on the Love From Lizi blog today with a tutorial for making a faux triple fold card featuring our Happy Days paper, Chrysanthemum die, Bumble Bee die, and Friends Forever stamps, all from our July release, along with an additional stamp set and gemstones from the store. I’ve made several triple folds of this variety over the past few years and got the notion a while back to start gluing down the center panel to give it the illusion of a triple fold when there are actually only two flaps. Easy peasy!

I cut the card base from CutCardStock Basis Gray cardstock along with layering panels from assorted prints in the Happy Days 6×6 Patterned Paper Pack. As noted above, I adhered the left flap flat to the card base to give the illusion of two flaps on the left side when there’s really only one. Using the Chrysanthemum Steel Cutting Die, I die cut the chrysanthemum from the Basis Gray, and the bumble bee (using the Bumble Bee Steel Cutting Die) from CutCardStock Basis Black and Basis Gold cardstock with vellum wings which I popped up on a thin foam square.

I cut the main flower die cut in two pieces so it would lay flat on the flap. Then I ended up cutting another flower die cut (just the right side) and adhering it to the right flap so the flower appears to be whole when the card is closed. I added half-circles of Velcro to keep the card closed. I stamped a sentiment from the We Are stamp set in Versafine Onyx Black ink and added a few pink gemstones from the Tropical Escapes Mix Size Gems.

I cut the inside panel from Neenah Classic Crest 80# Solar White cardstock and embellished it with a strip cut from the patterned paper used on the center flap on the front. I stamped a sentiment from the Friends Forever stamps in black ink. For more details instructions, be sure to see my tutorial on the Love From Lizi blog!

Miss You fun fold

Hey everybody, happy weekend – I hope you’re having a good one! I’m up on the CutCardStock blog today with a tutorial for making a side panel pillar card in a timeless black and white color combo with just a pop of color. I used Savoy Cotton, Beetle Black, Wedding Cake White, and Neenah Classic Crest 80# Solar White cardstock, and I totally love how it turned out. I have to admit that once again I started out with a completely different card design in my head. Before I knew it, the card had morphed into this black and white beauty. It amazes me how something so simple can pack such a punch!

Using the Love From Lizi Stitched Rectangle Nested Cutting Dies and Wild Bloom Dragonflies Cutting Dies, I die cut the focal panel from Savoy Cotton cardstock intending to spritz it with some shimmer mist. I sat there looking at it thinking how pretty it would be to just leave it white and back it on some black cardstock. So my entire card design shifted some major gears and I ended up cutting a few more pieces. I colored the three dragonflies with alcohol markers, gave them some shimmer with a Sakura Clear Star Gelly Roll pen and Glossy Accents, and set them aside.

I cut the card base and front panel from Beetle Black and the layering panels from Wedding Cake White which I dry embossed with a Cuttlebug Script embossing folder. I stamped the sentiment from the Brutus Monroe Miss You Florals stamp set in Brutus Monroe Clear Embossing Ink and heat embossed it with Brutus Monroe Alabaster Pigment Ink. I cut it at an angle with a small Love From Lizi Stitched Oval Nested Cutting Die and popped it up in the lower right corner on a thin adhesive foam square. The final touch on the front was adding a few iridescent gemstones.

I cut the back panel from Neenah Classic Crest 80# Solar White cardstock and added a dry embossed panel of the Beetle Black down the left side. I stamped a sentiment from the Love From Lizi Just Because stamp set in Versafine Onyx Black ink, which completed the card.

Hey everybody, Happy Friday – I hope you’ve had a great week! I’m thrilled to share a Brutus Monroe DT inspiration project today featuring the super adorable Snow Much Stamp and Coordinating Die which I paired with our Brown Butter cardstock and Winter Wings paper. [Note: I also used our Love Letters paper for one of the elements which is out of stock at Brutus Monroe but is in stock at A Cherry On Top.] It’s never too early to start on those Christmas cards, and this pop-out Z-fold showcases these Christmas products in such a fun way! This is an amazing fold!

I cut the card base and shaped pieces from our Brown Butter cardstock along with layering panels from coordinating prints in the Winter Wings 6×6 Paper Collection. I stamped the snowman from our Snow Much Stamp Set in Raven ink on CutCardStock Basis 110# Natural cardstock and colored it with an assortment of markers in my stash. I cut him with the Snow Much Coordinating Die and made him the star of the show on the front panel. I added a Keep It Simple Clementine Enamel Heart along with several of our Red Shift Flat Back Crystals, which completed the card front.

I cut the one shaped element on the inside (peeking out from behind the three on the front) from the Love Letters 6×6 Paper Collection that I mentioned above. I stamped a sentiment from the Snow Much Stamp Set in Raven ink and colored the tiny heart with a red marker.

I finished off the back with a panel of CutCardStock Basis 80# Natural. I embellished it with a leftover strip of the Winter Wings paper and stamped another sentiment from the Snow Much Stamp Set. I’ve also included a shot from overhead so you can see the construction of this fold. It definitely is a fun one!

Cottage Life

Hey everybody, I hope you’re having a fabulous day! How’s the weather where you are? The heat is ramping up here but not too badly yet… it’s in the mid 80s and that’s definitely do-able! I’m thrilled to share a Keep It Simple DT inspiration project with you that I created with our new Cheerful Cottage collection. This is a book cradle fold and it’s only the second one I’ve made – it has a unique structure and sure packs a punch! I saw it originally on the Mixed Up Craft YouTube Channel and thought it was a fun one.

I cut the card base pieces from CutCardStock Lessebo Moss Green cardstock along with layering panels from coordinating prints in the Cheerful Cottage 6×9 Collection Pack. I assembled the card and added several images and a sentiment from the Cheerful Cottage Die Cut Pieces, popping the middle cottage up on thin foam squares.

I cut the back panel from Neenah Classic Crest 80# Solar White cardstock and embellished it with an additional image and sentiment from the Cheerful Cottage Die Cut Pieces. BOOM – card finished!
