Let’s Celebrate… Treats, Perks, Blog Candy, A Card Swap, & More!!!!!

~ Jeanie Stark ~ 3 Comments

Happy Fourth of July!  There is much to celebrate! Today the United States celebrates the 250th Anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence and the birth of our country. In honor of this special occasion I made these little treats for the patients at our local Hospice House.

These are really quick & easy to create! It’s just 2 Hershey nuggets, each wrapped with an Avery Address Label (*or use a 1 x 3 piece of DSP). I stamped the sentiment from Banner Sayings and die cut it with the smallest banner from the Stylish Shapes Dies. (*I could have punched it out with the coordinating 3 Banner Punch but I liked the stitching on the die.) I placed the sparkly pick in between the nuggets and held it in place with a Stampin’ Dimensional on each side.

Today is also a special day for me…It’s the 10 year anniversary of my blog! My very first blog post was the treat holder pictured below that I posted on July 4, 2016. (You can click on the image to see the original post.)

A Festive Fun Fold for Tic Tac Toe Challenge #296

~ Jeanie Stark ~ 2 Comments

It’s time for a new Tic Tac Toe Challenge. Take a look at the fun challenge board Rosanne created this week.
www.tictactoechallenge.com
I chose to go on the diagonal (Summer Colors, Die Cut, Layers) and create a double collar fun fold card.
Stampin' Up! Scalloped Wishes with Festive Birthday Designer series paper fun fold card idea-Jeanie Stark Stampinup
I created this card for my friend, Marisa, who retired from teaching this year.

She had a fun themed retirement party so I wanted to create a card to coordinate. I thought it was appropriate to pull out the “retired” Festive Birthday Designer Series Paper for her card. The sentiment is from the Scalloped Wishes Stamp Set which I cut out with the Stylish Shapes Dies.

I featured this style card for my Mystery Monday Stampin’ Challenge this week. You can click on the link below for the PDF with step-by-step instructions.

I hope you’ll head over to the Tic Tac Toe Challenge to see the projects the Design Team came up with this week. Then Pick 3 and play along…we’d love to see what you create!

Have a great day! Thanks for stopping by!

Double Collar Fun Fold Cards with Artisan Sketched Garden & Floral Charm

~ Jeanie Stark ~ 1 Comment

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

This style card lets your designer series paper shine! I love how it showcases both sides. Here’s a closer look at each card.

My first card features the beautiful Floral Charm Designer Series Paper. I used the Scalloped Wishes Die to cut my focal image. The flower is fussy cut from the DSP.

My second card features the Artisan Sketched Garden Designer Series Paper.

I added an extra layer to this card to pop against the black & white. This card was one of the card designs in my Just Stampin’ Card Kit to go for June. The cool thing about this fun fold is you can get a totally different look depending on which side of DSP you showcase on top.

The focal piece on each of these is fussy cut from the DSP and adhered to the Scalloped Blooms Die. You can add any pop of color to the “hand-drawn look” of the Artisan Sketched Garden DSP. I love black & White with a pop of color!

The Artisan Sketched Garden 12″ x 12″ Designer Series Paper brings a black-and-white illustrated style to your projects. With florals, stripes, dots, and more, these patterns create a timeless base for handmade cards, scrapbook pages, and mixed-media layers. It’s the perfect starting point for playing with color, texture, and your favorite coordinating craft elements.

*Everyone who shares their card with me receives a Free PDF!!!!
Feel free to contact me if you have any questions. Here’s a few photos showing how to adhere and fold back the DSP to create the collar.

Start by adhering the 2 1/2 x 5 1/4 DSP in the center of the white cardstock.

Then adhere the 2 x 5 1/4 DSP to each end.

Take each of the 4 inside edges and fold back the DSP revealing the other side of the design. *Flaps will fold back at an angle from the center and form a triangle. (Clue #5)
