Alternative Halloween Treat

October 30, 2026 ~ Jeanie Stark ~ 2 Comments

Happy Hallows Eve! I have always loved Halloween! I enjoyed the whole process, from deciding what to wear, to getting together with friends to go out on a school night (which was something we were not usually allowed to do), to exchanging our treats when we got back home. When my kids were little I loved making their costumes each year, having Halloween parties, and creating special treats for the neighborhood kids. I still enjoy seeing the costumes each year though it doesn’t seem like it’s as big a deal as it was in the past. This year I made some treats for our local Hospice House to put on the lunch trays. These fruit cups were quick & easy to create!

I used a black Sharpie marker to draw/color a pumpkin face on peach fruit cups. Then I stamped Happy Halloween in black ink, punched it out with the 1 3/4 circle punch and adhered to the top with Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added some garden green leaves cut from the Painted Pumpkin Dies.

This is a great candy alternative and something you can make and pack in your kids/grandkids lunches. (You could do this with jello cups as well!) I loved doing these for my own kids as well as my preschool students.

Do you have a favorite Halloween memory or costume? I’d love to hear from you. Leave a comment below.

One of my favorite Halloween costumes was dressing up as Mary Poppins. I had a nice big bag to put my treats in!! LOL

Split Panel Fun Fold Cards with Lovely Blossoms and Luxe Foliage

October 29, 2026October 29, 2026 ~ Jeanie Stark ~ Leave a comment

Did you play along with my Mystery Monday Stampin’? If you followed the clues you would have created a Split Panel Fun Fold Card similar to these.
Mystery Solved!

Stampin' Up! Split Panel Fun Fold cards with Lovely Blossom & Luxe Foliage Designer Series Paper-Jeanie Stark StampinUp

This fun fold is quick & easy to create! The split panels on the front are made from a 1 1/2 x 12 piece of DSP! Let’s take a closer look at each of today’s cards.

Stampin' Up! Round About Messages & Lovely Blossoms fun fold birthday card idea-Jeanie Stark StampinUp

This card features the Lovely Blossoms Designer Series Paper and Round About Messages stamp set. The Round About Messages Stamp Set features everyday greetings arranged in circular designs, with extra words that can sit inside the open shapes or stand on their own. Small icons fit neatly in the centers or scatter easily across your project, giving cards, tags, and backgrounds a playful look that feels fresh and thoughtfully put together. This stamp set is one of my favorites. It coordinates with the 2″ Circle Punch and you know how I love my punches!

Here’s a look at the inside of this card.

I have really enjoyed creating with the Lovely Blossoms Designer Series Paper. (*You can CLICK HERE to see more cards I created with the DSP.) This DSP is now on the Last Chance List and once it sells out it will be gone forever. Grab it while it’s still available!!

For my second card today I added an extra layer with gold foil.

Stampin' Up! Banner Sayings and Luxe Foliage fun fold thank you card idea-Jeanie Stark StampinUp

The photos do not do this card justice! The Luxe Foliage Specialty Designer Series Paper (Sept. 2026 Product of the Month) is breathtaking! I fussy cut the flower from the DSP and added gold ribbon behind.

I added a few gold adhesive-backed dots to highlight the unique shape of this fun fold. Inside I used the Tile Garden Dies to cut my sentiment layer.

Decorating the envelope to coordinate is the finishing touch!
