Honey Bee Thank You, New Tutorials, and More for March!

Stampin' Up! Honey Bee fun fold Thank You card idea - Jeanie Stark StampinUp
It’s March…Spring is on it’s way! It’s also my birthday month which means lots of fun and celebrating!  I love to offer specials during my birthday month and this year is no exception! I’m “buzzing” with excitement to share a new fun fold pocket card and sweet treat honey jar.

Stampin' Up! Honey Bee fun fold Thank You card idea - Jeanie Stark StampinUp

I send thank you cards each month to everyone who places an order with me. This is the thank you card I will be sending out this month.  What’s cool is you can slip my note out, add one of your own and send it on to someone else! (My family and friends love to recycle the cards I send them and this one makes it so easy! LOL)

You will also receive one of these adorable honey jars with an online order of $40 or more!!! The jar is filled with individually wrapped candy.

These are so stinkin cute! I’d like to give a shout out and thanks to Ronda Wade for sharing this idea! I made these for the hairdressers, cleaning ladies, post office workers, etc. The candy is honey filled and so soothing and yummy! You can change out the sentiment and it would make a great little get well gift for someone. (The sentiment below is from the Harvest Hello stamp set that was carried over from the Holiday catalog.)

UPDATE 3/2/20- I ordered the Hive Jars (3 oz.) from fillmorecontainer.com. *Note – You order the jars and lids separately.

I have been having so much fun creating with the Honey Bee Stamp Set and coordinating Detailed Bee Dies.  I am featuring this bundle in my Free Tutorials this month!  Simply place an online order of $40 or more and you will receive THREE exclusive tutorials (via email) featuring this stamp set.  That’s in addition to the thank you card and honey jar! This stamp set has some great sentiments! I love how Stampin’ Up! included two flowers curving in opposite directions (for a mirror image) and different size bees.

You can even use the dies to cut out some of the bees from the Golden Honey Specialty Designer Series Paper. You can get the paper Free with a $50 purchase during Sale-A-Bration. (I can’t get enough of this paper!!!!)

Check out this video to see all of the things that you can do with the Golden Honey Designer Series Paper. (I used my Stampin’ Blends to color the bees on the DSP.) Watch and see how to make a cute gift cardholder that will work for just about any occasion.

The “sweet” sentiment I used on the honey jar is from the Little Ladybug Stamp Set.  This stamp set is a hostess exclusive during Sale-A-Bration.

A Pocketful of Happiness

Welcome to my 12 Days of Giveaways! Let’s start right off with today’s winner….Congratulations to Deanette! Email me (j.stark@myactv.net) your address and I’ll put a kit in the mail for you to make the votive candle boxes! I am having so much fun sending little gifts in the mail and I love reading all the comments! There’s still many gifts to go in my 12 Days of Giveaways!  All you have to do is leave a comment on my blog for a chance to win each day! Today’s project is one I recently sent to everyone who took advantage of my Free Shipping offer (through Cyber Monday). I hope they like their “pocketful of happiness”.

Stampin' Up! Pocketful of Happiness In Color note card / gift card idea - Jeanie Stark StampinUp

I knew I wanted to use the Pocket Dies.  The die makes the perfect pocket to slide in a gift card, cash, or in this case a check (to cover the cost of their shipping charges). The Pocketful of Happiness Stamp Set coordinates with the dies and is one of my absolute favorites from the annual catalog! I have used it for so many birthday and thank you cards. It has great sentiments I use all the time!

Stampin' Up! Pocketful of Happiness Stamp set - for inspiration and ordering visit juststampin.com - Jeanie Stark StampinUp

You can color the images with blends, markers, watercolor pencils, etc. I was inspired by Erica Cerwin’s tone on tone card and adapted it for my note cards. I loved making these cards using the different patterns in the 6 x 6 In Color DSP.

Stampin' Up! Pocketful of Happiness In Color note card / gift card idea - Jeanie Stark StampinUp

These are really quick & easy to make! The DSP measures 3 x 4 1/2  and is adhered to a cardstock layer that is 1/8 larger. Stamp the pocket image in the same color ink as the cardstock and cut with the die.  Fold and burnish the score lines and add adhesive to the folded flaps (I recommend Tear & Tape or Liquid Glue). Add Wink of Stella to the dove and a couple pearls on the flowers. I used the Delightful Tag Topper to punch a 2 x 3 1/4 piece of Whisper White cardstock to put in the pocket (along with the check). A simple knot with the Scalloped Linen Ribbon adds a nice touch and makes it easy to pull out the stamped note. Inside the card I stamped the pretty floral image at the top and added a sticky note to write a personal message.  That way they can remove the sticky note and reuse the card to send to someone else! Pretty clever don’t you think?!

These make great birthday cards if you want to give cash or a gift card! Stamp the birthday sentiment from the set and you are done! Who wouldn’t love a pocketful of happiness like that?! Here’s some of the other ones I made using more In Colors!

Stampin' Up! Pocketful of Happiness In Color note card / gift card idea - Jeanie Stark StampinUp

How perfect is that floral image for the envelope?! Do you have a favorite In Color or DSP pattern? Leave me a comment and you could be the next winner in my 12 Days of Giveaways! The ladies at the post office are getting in on the fun as much as I am!  They want to know what’s in the envelopes I’m mailing out each day! They feel the envelopes and try to guess! LOL I’m lucky I live so close as I spend a lot of time there!!

Have a great day!

X is for Box

Welcome to my ABC Card Series! Throughout this series I’ve been sharing a variety of cards for every occasion. Today’s card is a fun fold boX card. I love to make fun fold cards and this one is not only different, it’s really quick & easy to make!

Stampin Up! Perennial Essence and Beauty Abounds fun fold box card idea for a friend - Jeanie Stark StampinUp

Materials and Measurements

  • Card base:  5 1/2 x 8 1/2 Mossy Meadow cardstock scored at 2, 4, 6, and 8.
  • Perennial Essence Designer Series Paper – Cut 4 strips 1 3/4 x 5 1/4.  (I stamped my sentiment on one of the panels. You could use whisper white cardstock if your DSP is too busy or dark.)
  • Basic Black cardstock to cut Butterfly Beauty dies.

I used a strip of Tear & Tape along the 1/2 inch side to adhere the box. The butterfly dies are attached to the card with a glue dot on each butterfly along the center fold line. This card will display nicely on a shelf.  I love how it looks like the butterflies are floating.  Here’s more views of this fun card.
