Blessed

Hey everybody! I hope you’re having a great time this weekend! For the most part we’ve been having some nice weather here – the temps have been slowly dropping and it looks like we might see some real Fall weather soon… and I can’t wait! I have an easy ScrapbookingStore DT inspiration project to share with you today created with the September 2025 Scrapbook Kit with Upgrades. I saw a matchbook card on Pinterest the other day and decided to make one. Y’all, no lie, this is among the top ten easiest fun folds to make and it sure packs a punch. I used papers and stickers from the collection kit along with black and white cardstock from my stash.

Cut the card base panel at 4-1/4″ x 11″ and score it at 1″ and 6-1/4″. Cut two patterned paper pieces at 4-1/8″ x 4-5/8″ for the top panel and 7/8″ x 4-1/8″ for the bottom panel. I used my Tim Holtz Idea-ology Tiny Attacher to place two tiny staples about 1/4″ up from the bottom and then adhered both the top and bottom patterned paper pieces.

I cut a strip from CutCardStock Pop Tone Black Licorice cardstock at 1-1/2″ x 4-5/8″ and adhered it toward the right edge, and then embellished the top panel with coordinating stickers from the sticker sheet. I dug through my ribbon stash and found some Prickley Pear Stamps scalloped teal adhesive ribbon which I adhered to the bottom flap along with a sentiment sticker from the sticker sheet.

I cut an inside panel (4-1/8″ x 4-5/8″) and strip (1-1/2″ x 4-5/8″) from Black Licorice and layered a panel of Solar White cut at 4″ x 4-1/2″ on top of it. I added image and sentiment stickers from the sticker sheet, which completed this super easy card.

Hey everybody! It’s Saturday and what are you up to this weekend? Any crafting… or anything fun at all? I have an awesome ScrapbookingStore DT inspiration project to share with you today created with the September 2025 Scrapbook Kit with Upgrades. This floating image card is one of the newest fun folds I’ve made and I absolutely love how it turned out! I used papers and stickers from the collection in addition to gemstones and foam alphas from the upgrades. My inspiration (once again) came from Lisa Curcio’s blog, and despite it’s complex look, it’s pretty simple. The video is HERE if you want to learn how to make it. I sincerely hope there are no trackers on YouTube videos because I’d probably be known as a stalker on several of my sub channels, lol!

I cut the card base pieces from Neenah Classic Crest 80# Solar White cardstock along with layering panels from CutCardStock Pop Tone Black Licorice and several coordinating patterned papers from the collection. I used some image and sentiment stickers from the sticker sheet and an asterisk (used as a flower) from the foam alphas in the upgrades to embellish the floating element.

I used an additional sentiment sticker for the inside as well as a leftover strip of one of the patterned papers used. The last photo below shows the side panels and the floating element opened. This is such a cool fold!

Hey everybody, happy Friday – I hope you have something fun planned this weekend! I have an awesome ScrapbookingStore DT inspiration project to share with you today created with the September 2025 Scrapbook Kit with Upgrades. This pop-up book fold is a new one that I saw on Lisa’s channel HERE. I’ve created a couple other versions of the book fold and when I saw the unique construction of this one, I just had to try it! I used papers and a journaling card from the collection along with die cut pieces, gemstones and foam alphas from the upgrades.

I cut the card base from CutCardStock Lessebo Aubergine cardstock along with a layering panel from a green patterned paper in the kit. I trimmed one of the larger journaling cards in the kit and notched the corners with the Spellbinders 3 in 1 Notched Corners Punch. I notched the corners of the background panel also and added a gemstone from the upgrades to each corner. The finishing touch on the front was adding a couple quotes from the foam alphas in the upgrades.

I used a pretty floral paper and a little more of the green patterned paper used on the front in addition to Neenah Classic Crest 80# Solar White for the layers on the inside panels. I added a die cut piece from the upgrades to the left side, leaving the right side blank for a handwritten message and signature. To expose the areas on the inside, you simply push the sides outward. Isn’t this an awesome 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!

Thoroughly Grateful For You

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!

to the Best Teacher

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!

Wishing You A Peaceful Season

Hey everybody, Happy Friday! Dang, the weeks sure seem to be whizzing by. I’m delighted to share a Thanksgiving card for Brutus Monroe featuring the Peaceful Hedge stamp set, assorted prints from the Pumpkin Spice paper pack, and Gingerbread and Jack O Lantern cardstock. The ‘Star of the Show’ on this patchwork card is the hedgie which I heat embossed with our clear embossing ink and Gilded embossing powder.

I cut a standard A2 size side-folding card base from Gingerbread cardstock along with a layering panel from Jack O Lantern cardstock. Using stitched square dies in my stash, I cut eight small and one medium square from most of the prints in the Pumpkin Spice 6×6 Paper Collection. I applied an adhesive sheet to a piece of copy paper and then adhered all the squares.

I stamped the sentiment and hedgie from the Peaceful Hedge stamp set on Neenah Classic Crest Baronial Ivory cardstock in our Clear Embossing Ink and heat embossed them in our Gilded Embossing Powder. I trimmed the sentiment in a strip and popped it up on foam squares. I cut the hedgie with a stitched circle die and framed it with a thin frame cut from the Jack O Lantern. The finishing touch on the front was adding several Red Shift Flat Back Crystals.

I cut the inside panel from the ivory cardstock and stamped a sentiment from the Occasional Greetings stamp set in Raven ink. I layered the panel on Jack O Lantern cardstock, and this completed the card.
