boo fun fold

Hey everybody, happy weekend! I’m not complaining… but they sure seem to be coming around faster and faster these days! I’m absolutely delighted to share a Keep It Simple DT inspiration project with you today. The KIS design team is hosting a Halloween Hop on Instagram and Facebook, so be sure to pop over to see all the fun Halloween inspiration we’ve got in store for you – and there’s a Keep It Simple $25 online gift card up for grabs so be sure to hop along! I created this tri-fold with a view using papers, stamps and dies from our Boo To You collection, and oh my goodness, this was a fun card to put together!

I cut the card base from CutCardStock Lessebo Pitch Black cardstock, the insert from Classic Crest Recycled Classic Natural White, and layering panels from prints in our Boo To You 12×12 Collection Pack. I used our Nested Stitched Circles and Nested Stitched Scallop Circles for the circular aperture in the front flap and the sweet scalloped frame.

I used the Boo To You Collection Stamps and Outline Dies for all the stamped images and sentiments on the front and inside. I’m in love with this card, lol, and of course, it helps to have amazing products to bring it to life! Once again, be sure to pop over to Instagram and the KIS Facebook Inspiration page to hop with us to get in on the chance to win the gift card!

Hey everybody! It’s Saturday and I hope you have a fun weekend planned! Has the weather cooled off any where you are? Our nights are down in the upper 30s/low 40s and our days are in the mid to high 60s which makes us happy! I’ve popped in this morning to share another Syncopation Design inspiration project created with the super cool Code Orange stamp set! *Minor profanity alert!* OMGoodness, I totally love these stamps because there are so many options for fun Halloween cards! The card I made is yet another version of the double flap fun fold! I have quite a few double flap fun folds in my tutorial arsenal and each one is just as fun as the next! ;)

I started by inking the Solar White panel for the smaller flap. I used The Crafter’s Workshop Mini Bricks stencil with Ranger antique linen distress ink and a blending brush across the bottom. I masked that off and used Ranger stormy sky distress ink and a blending brush for the sky. I mixed a tiny bit of Judi-Kins Iridescent Sparkle embossing powder in some DreamWeaver Translucent embossing paste and applied it through the Keep It Simple Starry Skies stencil. This was a total experiment… I wasn’t sure mixing embossing powder and embossing paste would even work, but it actually turned out pretty cool looking with translucent sparkly stars!

So, while the stars were drying, I cut the card base and all the layering panels from CutCardStock Pop Tone Orange Fizz, Pop Tone Tangy Orange and Pop Tone Black Licorice, along with coordinating Halloween papers from The Paper Studio Four Seasons and Everything In Between -2- paper pad. I stamped the kitty, moon, candy and one-word sentiment on a scrap piece of Solar White cardstock, colored the images with alcohol markers, and fussy cut them. I popped the kitty up on foam pads and adhered the moon, candy and sentiment flat on the panel.

Here’s a shot of the smaller panel opened up revealing the slightly larger panel.

And here’s a shot of the slightly larger panel opened revealing the hilarious inside sentiment. Gotta love Jennifer’s sense of humor! :D
