Stampin' Up! ABC Color Series - visit juststampin.com for color inspiration and color combinations from A to Z - Jeanie Stark StampinUp
Welcome to my ABC Color Series! Stampin’ Up! offers so many great color choices! I love to combine different colors and patterns and hope to inspire you with some fun color combinations throughout this series. Today’s cards feature some Quick Color Combos. I’m a big fan of “Color Buddies”!

Color Buddies are monochromatic colors that work well together. Just combine different shades of the same hue. Pretty simple, right?!

I love Stampin’ Up! punches! Stamp a sentiment or image on cardstock, then cut it out with the punch. So easy! I used the Heartfelt Hexagon Punch on these cards. You can make quick labels, tags, and accents with this punch. It works with so many sentiment stamps! You can purchase the punch as a bundle and save 10%! The Heartfelt Hexagon Bundle is on the list of My Favorite Things.

The sentiments are great for many life events and occasions, from birthdays and weddings to support and sympathy. The fonts and designs are timeless so they look beautiful on any project.

Bee Mine Valentine Bag for Tic Tac Toe Challenge #239

January 18, 2024January 18, 2024 ~ Jeanie Stark ~ 2 Comments

Happy Thursday! Today is the first Tic Tac Toe Challenge of the new year and I am honored to be the designer this week. Here’s the challenge board I created.
Tic Tac Toe Challenge #239-visit juststampin.com for inspiration and more-Jeanie Stark Independent Stampin' Up! Demonstrator
I used all nine elements on my project this week.
Stampin' Up! Be My Valentine bag with Bee Mine Designer Series Paper-Jeanie Stark StampinUp
I love to make cards and 3D projects to coordinate with gifts I give. This “Bee-utiful” bag will hold the little bee hand puppet I am giving to a sweet little 2 year old who definitely “makes my heart buzz”.
Stampin' Up! Be My Valentine Bundle and Tailor Made Tags with Bee Mine Designer Series Paper gift idea-Jeanie Stark StampinUp
The sentiment and bee are from the Be My Valentine Bundle. I love it when a stamp set comes with a coordinating punch! The Bee My Valentine Stamp Set is un-bee-lievably cute and versatile! You can stamp the bees in different colors and in any direction, as the body is completely symmetrical. No matter how you use this bundle, your crafts will have their own buzz around them!
Stampin' Up! Bee My Valentine bundle-visit juststampin.com for inspiration and details to order-Jeanie Stark StampinUp
This project is simple to make and I have some tips to share with you for using the Bee Builder Punch. First, let’s take a closer look at this adorable Designer Series Paper from Stampin’ Up! called Bee Mine.

Stampin' Up! Bee Mine Designer Series Paper-visit juststampin.com for inspiration and ordering information-Jeanie Stark StampinUp — Product colors: Basic Black, Daffodil Delight, Lemon Lime Twist, Petal Pink, Pool Party, Sweet Sorbet

This paper is full of bright colors and pastel patterns to help you celebrate all of your occasions centered around love. Each page offers new possibilities. You can fussy cut the individual bees, die cut the striped and gingham paper, or use the jars of honey paper for a unique card base. Mix and match the color palette to create something special for each recipient. Every craft is simply meant to bee! You can easily use the patterned paper past Valentine’s Day as each sheet is double-sided and there are some beautiful flower designs to welcome spring.

Here are the details to create the gift bag. *Thanks to Sam Donald (aka Pootles) who provided the measurements for the bag.

Start with a piece of 12 x 12 DSP. *Make sure the pattern is facing the right direction.
Score on the first side at 2″, 5 3/4″, 7 3/4″, 11 1/2″
Turn and score on the other side at 2″. *The 2″ score line will be the bottom of your bag.
Fold on score lines. Then cut the score lines along the bottom of the bag just up to the 2″ score line.
Remove the 1/2″ rectangle at the bottom and miter the end.
Add Tear & Tape along the 1/2″ end and fold over to adhere.
Fold in the side flaps, fold down the top flap and add Tear & Tape along the bottom flap. Fold bottom flap up to adhere.
Use the Tailor Made Tags Dies to cut two tags. Cut the larger tag using DSP and another in Basic White.
Stamp sentiment and hearts on tag. Embellish with Adhesive-backed Hearts. Adhere tags askew with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
Thread tag through ribbon then wrap ribbon around bag and tie a bow in front. Punch hearts from Sweet Sorbet cardstock using Bee Builder Punch and adhere to ends of ribbon with Mini Glue Dots.
Stamp and punch bee and add to tag with Stampin’ Dimensional.

*Bee Builder Punch Tip
Use the Bee Builder Punch to punch a template. Lay the template on top of the white cardstock you are going to stamp. Stamp inside the template. Then punch all the pieces at once. Viola!

Sending Love & Sunny Days

January 16, 2024January 16, 2024 ~ Jeanie Stark ~ Leave a comment

Do you save your scraps leftover from a project? I hate to throw anything away! I once saved 1/2 sticker I used on a scrapbook page and finally used the other half 5 years later! LOL Yesterday I shared 3 cards I created using the Stack, Slice, & Shuffle technique. If you missed that post you can view it HERE. I have been on a roll replenishing my card supply after the holidays. I like to give sets of cards as gifts to friends & family. Usually I make cards for a specific person or reason but I find I need to have cards on hand for a hostess gift or when someone drops in and needs a card.

I had some leftover pieces of Sunny Days DSP on my desk after creating the other day and decided to use them to make another card. (That seemed like more fun than filing my scraps and cleaning up! LOL) Here’s what I created from just what was already on my desk.
Stampin' Up! Sending Love and Sunny Days simple card idea-Jeanie Stark StampinUp
The (leftover) DSP measures 2 x 3 3/4. I adhered these pieces to the top and bottom of a 5 x 3 3/4 piece of Basic White and stamped my sentiment in between. The sentiment is from the NEW Sending Love stamp set (Save 10% when you purchase the bundle). I adhered the white card layer to a 5 1/8 x 3 7/8 piece of Black cardstock (which is the same size I used on yesterdays cards). I wrapped my ribbon around and added a bow on the front. This layer is adhered to the card base with Stampin’ Dimensionals. Then I just added a few heart embellishments from the Adhesive-Backed Hearts & Flowers. I love how this card turned out! And the best part is I used my scraps to create it!

I think of this as my Bonus Card from the Stack, Slice, & Shuffle!
