November 5, 2026November 5, 2026 ~ Jeanie Stark ~ Leave a comment

Here’s this week’s challenge board created by Karren Johnson. www.tictactoechallenge.com
I chose to go down the middle with Gold, Free, Ribbon. Here’s my card:
Stampin' Up! Soiree Salutations Bay Window Christmas Fun Fold card with Neutral Noel Specialty Designer Series Paper-Jeanie Stark StampinUp
I created a Bay Window Fun Fold Card. This is a quick & easy fun fold! You can see from the photo below how it gets it’s name.

This card features the Neutral Noel Specialty Designer Series Paper.

Your Christmas crafts are sure to shine when you use the Neutral Noel 12″ x 12″ Specialty Designer Series Paper. With sophisticated festive patterns and gold foil, this gorgeous paper will elevate any project!

I heat embossed the sentiment (from Soiree Salutations) and punched it out with the Three Banner Punch. I added gold ribbon behind and popped it up with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Bay Window Fun Fold Cards with Country Cottage Designer Series Paper

November 5, 2026 ~ Jeanie Stark ~ 2 Comments

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
This fun fold is easy to create! You can choose to use one or two patterns of DSP. Both of today’s cards feature the Country Cottage Designer Series Paper. This is a NEW Online Exclusive released November 3rd!

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.
Stampin' Up! Bay Window Fun Fold get well card with Delicate Whispers stamp set and Country Cottage Designer Series Paper-Jeanie Stark StampinUp
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.

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.

Are you ready to choose your creative adventure and solve this week’s mystery? Grab your supplies, follow the clues, and see what your finished card looks like at the end — it’s always a fun surprise.

CLUE #1 -Gather your supplies! *You will be creating a landscape style card.

Cardstock – 4 1/4 x 11, 1 x 4 1/4
Designer Series Paper –*You have the option to choose 1 or 2 coordinating patterns: 5 x 4 (H) if choose 1 pattern, 3 1/2 x 4(H) and 1 1/2 x 4(H) if choose 2 patterns, extra for envelope (*optional)
Basic White Cardstock – 4 x 5 1/4
Sentiment layer/Focal piece
Envelope
Stamps
Ink
Adhesive
Ribbon/Embellishments of choice (optional)
Tools – Trimmer/Score Board, Bone Folder
*Optional – coloring tools, die cut/punch, Cut & Emboss Machine

CLUE #2
Score the 4 1/4 x 11 cardstock along the 11″ side @ 1/4 & 4 1/2. Then flip it over towards you and score backside @ 1 1/2, 3 1/4, and 5 1/2. Fold & burnish score lines starting @ 5 1/2″ in M,V,M,M,V (*Mountain, Valley) fold.

CLUE #3
Adhere the 4 x 5 1/4 white cardstock on the inside of the card.

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.
*If using 2 coordinating pieces of DSP cut the 1 1/2 x 4 piece in half at 3/4.
Cut the 3 1/2 x 4 piece @ 1 and 1 1/2. The last piece will be 1 x 4. Keep the 3 pieces in order.

CLUE #6
Adhere the first 3/4 x 4 DSP to the left section on the front of the card next to the fold. Then adhere the 1″, 1 1/2″, & 1″ pieces in order across the front. Adhere the last 3/4 x 4 DSP to the 1 x 4 1/4 cardstock piece.

CLUE #7
Adhere the 1 x 4 1/4 layered cardstock piece on the inside of the card against the right edge using dimensionals. *Just add dimensionals down the middle to allow for the front of the card to “tuck” in.

CLUE #8
Create a sentiment layer/focal piece for the front. Stamp/punch/die cut sentiment and or image. Adhere to the front in the center with dimensionals. Stamp inside sentiment or leave blank for personal message.

CLUE #9
Does your card need anything else? Embellishments, etc.? Add that now.

CLUE #10
Decorate your envelope (stamp/emboss/add DSP) to coordinate with your card.

Have fun creating! I can’t wait to see what you create! Take a photo of your card and send as an attachment to my email (j.stark@goeaston.net) by Saturday. Everyone who shares will receive the PDF. Feel free to reach out if you need help or have questions.
