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!

Hidden Message Valentine Cards with True Blue Florals & Made With Love

February 3, 2026February 3, 2026 ~ Jeanie Stark ~ Leave a comment

Did you play along with my Mystery Monday Stampin’? Well, some things did not go as planned; however, I am excited to share my finished cards. I hope I fixed the measurements before anyone else cut their paper. (Trust me, enough paper was harmed in the making of this fun fold by me!!!) The funny thing is I have made this style card before but I wanted to try something a little different this time (of course I did!!!). I’ve seen several versions of this style card and I really liked how Connie Stewart made it with the layers that look like they extend. It gives the illusion it is just a regular card and makes it more of a surprise when you open it! Anyway, I tweaked her measurements for what I wanted and if you followed the clues you would have created a Hidden Message Fun Fold Card similar to these.
Mystery Solved!

While this card could easily be used for many occasions, I have a friend who absolutely loves blue so of course I had to make her a blue valentine. I love how the Branching Out Dies frame the sentiment here as well as the “hidden message”.

This card stands for display and I love how you can add a personal message that is hidden inside. I fussy cut some of the flowers that were on the edge of the DSP to decorate my envelope to coordinate.
