Fun Fold Easel Cards with Special Delivery Paper Pumpkin Kit

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

These cards are similar to the Reverse Easel Cards I created back in October. Those cards were portrait style whereas these are landscape. Also, these stand upright instead of on an angle. Just another look for a simple and classic fun fold!

Both of my cards today were created using the January 2026 Paper Pumpkin Special Delivery kit. I like to change things up instead of making all the cards the same. It’s fun to create some alternative ideas using the contents of the kits. I love these charming postage stamp designs! Let’s take a closer look at each of today’s cards.

Everything I used on this card is from the kit except the card base. I used a piece of 5 1/2 x 8 1/2 Thick Basic White for my base and scored it @ 1 1/4 & 4 1/4. I cut one of the card bases in the kit to go along with the DSP measurements from the clues to add the layers. I popped the flower dies up with Stampin’ Dimensionals and added the stamped image. I love the specks of gold in the flower centers!

This card was so quick & easy to change from a standard card to a beautiful fun fold that displays. I added a sentiment on the inside above the score line so it is hidden when the card is displayed.

The sentiment is from the January Product of the Month, Fabulous Sayings!
This awesome sentiment stamp set is still available for just $5 with an order of $75 or more!

One of the things I absolutely love about the Paper Pumpkin kits is the different colored envelopes that coordinate with the cards each month. I especially love this month’s envelopes!

Here’s a look at my second card.

I started with a Thick Basic White card base then cut apart one of the envelopes to create the “DSP” layers on my card. The focal layer follows the measurements in the clues. I used the Perennial Postage Dies to cut the layer on the front as well as the sentiment layer. The pretty blue flower reminds me of a floral stamp. I used the stamp set from the kit for the image on the front as well as the popped up sentiment holding up the easel.

I punched the “Love” image using a 1″ circle punch and simply layered it over the other image.

My inside sentiment is from Bee My Valentine.

Mystery Monday Stampin’

Let's create a handmade card together- visit www.juststampin.com for clues and all the details-Jeanie Stark Stampin' Up! Demonstrator
Welcome back for another Mystery Monday Stampin’! I hope you are ready for a fun creative challenge! This week’s mystery card is a quick & easy fun fold that you can change up many different ways for any occasion! One of the wonderful things I love about mystery stamping is you use what you have! 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!

Yesterday I shared your first clue. If you missed that post (with the list of supplies), Click HERE for Clue #1

Now that you have your cardstock, designer series paper, and other supplies, it’s time to create! Simply follow the clues step by step to create a beautiful card. Feel free to add your own twist…there is no right or wrong way to do Mystery Monday Stampin’! Here are the rest of the clues.

*You will be creating a horizontal/landscape card this week!

CLUE #2
Score the 5 1/2 x 8 1/2 cardstock @ 1 1/4 and 4 1/4. Fold in 1/2 then fold 1 1/4 piece back (accordion fold style). Burnish score lines with bone folder.

CLUE #3
Cut the 5 1/4 x 4 3/4 DSP into 3 pieces measuring: 5 1/4 x 2 3/4, 2 @ 5 1/4 x 1.

CLUE #4
Adhere the 5 1/4 x 2 3/4 to the top section of the horizontal card base. Adhere the 5 1/4 x 1 to the flap part that is folded back on the card base. Adhere the other 5 1/4 x 1 piece on the inside of the card at the bottom. *You will see this piece on the front of the card.

CLUE #5
Create a focal piece on the 3 3/4 x 2 1/2 neutral piece (or designer series paper). Layer on 4 x 2 3/4 cardstock and 4 1/2 x 3 1/4 cardstock. *You can adjust these measurements to fit your needs.

CLUE #6
Adhere the layered focal piece to the card base attaching just to the piece that is folded back on the front of the card.

CLUE #7
Stamp a small sentiment strip and adhere with Stampin’ Dimensionals to pop it up on the 1″ piece of DSP on the bottom of the card.
*This will hold the easel up when the card is opened. It will stand for display.

CLUE #8
Does your card need anything else? Embellishments? Trim/Ribbon? Add that now.

CLUE #9
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). Feel free to reach out if you need help or have questions.

Check back tomorrow to see my mystery cards revealed.

Have a great day! Thanks for stopping by!
