hello Winter

Hey everybody, happy Saturday – I hope you have something fun planned this weekend! I have another gorgeous ScrapbookingStore DT inspiration project to share with you today created with items in the January 2026 Scrapbook Kit with Upgrades. This is another version of the tri-fold which is made in a vertical orientation versus the usual one we see in a horizontal orientation. And the cool thing about this one is the bottom flap can be adhered on both sides and a gift card (or mini card) tucked in. I’ve made several of these over the past few months and I always love how they turn out! And, of course, it always helps to have gorgeous papers and elements to bring them to life!

I cut the flat card base from Neenah Classic Crest 110# Solar White cardstock and covered it with a patterned paper panel cut from a print in the Carta Bella Winter Wonderland Collection Kit. I cut the tri-fold portion of the card from 80# Solar White along with layering panels cut from CutCardStock Bright Gold Foil and a pretty floral print in the collection. I added a ‘hello’ sentiment taken from the Rosie’s Studio Glitter Foam Stickers (in the upgrades) and included the trimmed and layered ‘winter’ word from a journaling card in the collection. I finished off the front with several dots of Neptune Nuvo Crystal Drops.

I layered another print from the collection and another panel of the gold foil cardstock on the smaller flap at the bottom. That’s the one I mentioned above that could be adhered on both sides with a gift card or mini card tucked inside. I cut the sentiment panel from 80# Solar White and layered it on CutCardStock Basis Dark Orange. I added an embellishing strip and a sentiment from the Carta Bella Winter Wonderland Frames & Tags in the upgrades.

Hi friends! I hope you’re having a great weekend! I have an awesome Keep It Simple DT inspiration project to share today created with papers, die cut pieces, stamps and dies in the new Snow Day Collection! OMGoodness, yumminess to the third degree here, folks! The colors in this collection are amazing and absolutely fitting for Winter-themed projects! I created a double pleated card, also known as a drapery fold, with a little twist. Our papers are robust, so instead of folding the paper, I cut it in strips and reassembled it. This took a little extra time but yielded a very cool design which was flatter than it would have been folded.

I cut a standard A2 size side-folding landscape card base from Neenah Classic Crest 110# Solar White cardstock along with a layering panel from a navy paper in the 12×12 Collection Pack. I cut the pleated panel from a coordinating print and instead of folding, I cut it in strips and reassembled it. I added a horizontal strip across the front of the panel and added the sentiment pieces from the Words and Phrases Die Cut Pieces. The finishing touch was adding several Clear Enamel Dots.

I cut the inside panel from 80# Solar White cardstock and embellished it with a leftover triangle cut from the pleated panel on the front. I stamped a sentiment in Memento Paris Dusk ink from the Collection Stamp and cut it with an Outline Die. The final step was adhering the panel to a navy layer.
