Blog Candy Winner & Cottage Wreaths Valentine for #TTTC194

Before I get to the blog candy winner I have another “book binding” fun fold card to share with you. I am hooked on this fun fold design and wanted to use it to make valentines for my book club members and friends.

I’m excited to be back with the Tic Tac Toe Challenge Design Team. You can look for a new challenge board every Thursday and I hope you’ll join the fun and create something using elements from the board.  I’m on Team O; however, I’m playing along with Team X’s challenge board this week.
Visit tictactoechallengk.com for inspiration and more. Enter the challenge and you could be a guest designer! Jeanie Stark- juststampin.com
Can you guess which way I made Tic Tac Toe?
I used ALL the elements from this board to create Tic Tac Toe 8 different ways! That’s what I love about this challenge…it is so easy to pick 3 (or more) and create something!

I used one of my favorite die sets that carried over from the Holiday Mini Catalog, Cottage Wreaths Dies. (This set isn’t featured in the new catalog; however, it is still available online. *You can click on the product link below to view in my online store.) I combined the dies with the perfect sentiments from a new favorite stamp set, Country Bouquet. It had what I “just wanted to say”…

The floral patterned paper is from the Regency Park 6 x 6 Designer Series Paper and can be found in the new Jan- April Mini Catalog. From florals and polka dots to stripes and everything in between, you’ll love the options!

A Cup of Tea for a Friend’s Birthday & Blog Candy Surprise!!

Stampin' Up! Cup of Tea book binding fun fold card idea- Jeanie Stark StampinUp
I love to find unique gifts and enjoy making cards to coordinate. Today’s birthday card and bookmark is one I made for a friend who loves books and tea. The Cup of Tea Bundle and the “book binding” fun fold was the perfect choice for the occasion. I used some retired DSP (to coordinate with the gift). You can easily substitute a pattern from the Tea Boutique 6 x 6 Designer Series Paper or any from your “stash”.
Stampin' Up! Cup of Tea book binding fun fold card idea- Jeanie Stark StampinUp
Here are the dimensions to make this quick & easy book binding fun fold:

  • Card Base (Cherry Cobbler): 11 X 4-1/4, score at 4 1/4 & 5 1/2
  • Card Stock Layer (Basic Black): 4 x 4, 1 x 4
  • Designer Series Paper (retired Sale-A-Bration): 3 7/8 x 3 7/8, 7/8 x 3 7/8
  • Inside Layer (Basic White): 4 x 4

Adhere Tear & Tape (or other strong adhesive like Multipurpose Liquid Glue) along the 1 1/4 score line from the fold allowing the card to open like a book. I stamped the tea cup in Memento Black, the stems in Pear Pizzazz, the sentiment in Cherry Cobbler, then die cut each with the coordinating dies. The lemon is die cut from a scrap of Crushed Curry and the flowers I fussy cut from the DSP.  I found the Novel Tea bags on Amazon…they are so cool as each one has a quote from a novel.

I like to let the card decorate the gift package.  Simply adhere a clear envelope to the front of a bag and slide the card in. Add some tissue paper and it’s done!!!

I plan to use this quick & easy fun fold design to make cards for all my book club friends! Let’s have some fun….What’s the last book you read? I have been on a Taylor Jenkins Reid binge lately….Love her books! Just finished Daisy Jones and the Six (excited to watch the limited series coming out in March)! Also loved The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo, Malibu Rising and more!!!! Leave a comment below sharing a good book you’ve read lately for a chance to win some blog candy! I’m always looking for my next good read! I will pick a random winner to receive a gift in the mail from me.

Have a great day!

Heron Habitat Thank You Card

Stampin' Up! Heron Habitat with Fern Embossing Folder thank you card idea- Jeanie Stark StampinUp
Maryland’s eastern shore is a great place to live! I enjoy watching the native wildlife, especially the blue herons. One of the first things I do each morning is look to see if  “Harry” is visiting. He is often hiding in the water; however, he’s rather skittish when I try to get close to take his photo.

I love having breakfast (and/or lunch) while observing “Harry” so there was no doubt the Heron Habitat Bundle would be part of my stamp collection. This custom die set includes a versatile sand edge, cattails, and groupings of embossed coastal plants perfect for creating a robust scenery. This set also includes a vertical and horizontal label for expressing heartfelt sentiments. The stamp set includes five all-occasion messages to express joy, celebrate together, and show appreciation.
