Did you play along with my Mystery Monday Stampin’? If you followed the clues you would have created a Bay Window Fun Fold Card similar to these.
Mystery Solved!
Stampin' Up! Bay Window Fun Fold cards with Country Cottage Designer Series Paper-Jeanie Stark StampinUp

If you’re drawn to classic prints and cozy details, the Country Cottage 12″ x 12″ Designer Series Paper is for you. It pairs soft neutrals with rich greens and warm tones, featuring florals, wood-inspired textures, and scenic prints. Perfect for card making, tags, scrapbooking, and paper crafting, it offers a mix of open and intricate patterns that feel varied while still working beautifully together.

Let’s take a closer look at each of today’s cards.

For the first card, I went with all the same DSP. I cut the strips from one 5 x 4 piece. There are (5) DSP panels. The furthest right panel is actually a separate piece that is popped up, and holds the card tucked together.

The sentiment is from the Delicate Whispers stamp set cut out with a die from Filled With Sweetness.

You can see from the photo below why it is called a bay window card.

This picture shows the card folded flat for mailing. The little 1/4″ at the end is what secures it in place.

Inside of the card shows you the raised up 1″ x 4 1/4″ piece that the 1/4″ edge tucks under.

My second card gives you an idea for using two different designer series papers. The outer most panels are one pattern, then the next panels coming in are from a second pattern. (*Clue #5 explains how to cut the DSP if using one or two different patterns.)
Stampin' Up! Bay Window Fun Fold thank you card with Round About Messages stamp set and Country Cottage Designer Series Paper-Jeanie Stark StampinUp
The sentiment is from Round About Messages cut with the 1 7/8 Circle Punch then layered on a piece of Peaceful Pine cut with a circle from Stylish Shapes Dies. Thanks is stamped on Crumb Cake and cut with another Stylish Shapes Die.

I used both patterns of DSP for my coordinating envelope.

CLUE #3

CLUE #4
Fold the card in half along the 5 1/2 score line. Add Adhesive to the space between the 5 ½ fold and the next score line. Adhere this 1 1/2″ section down next the fold on the left (like a book binding).

CLUE #5
Cut the DSP.
*If using (1) 5 x 4 piece, place the 5″ side along the top and cut 3/4, then 1, then 1 1/2, then 1. The last piece leftover will be 3/4. Keep the 5 pieces in order.
