Simply Scored Fun Fold for the Pals Blog Hop

2019 April Blog Hop

Welcome to the Pals’ May Blog Hop. We’re so glad you’re here because we made some great projects with “More Than One Score.” You may be starting the hop here or coming from a previous Pal’s blog. Either way, you’ve come to the right place. You’ll find the full line-up below to help you move, or “hop” along from Pal to Pal.

I love fun fold cards! I have been wanting to make this one for some time now but, the name, “Impossible Fold”, sounded intimidating. Let me just say, this card is anything but impossible! In fact, it is a really simple fun fold to make!

Stampin Up Free As a Bird Fun Fold All Occasion card idea - Jeanie Stark StampinUp

I used the Free As a Bird Stamp Set and and Bird Ballad Designer Series Paper which will be available in the new annual catalog when it debuts June 4th. Demonstrators were able to see and play with new products at Stampin’ Up!’s OnStage event. This suite was used for one of the make ‘n take projects. I like to challenge myself and use the make ‘n take products to make something a little different.

This fun fold starts with a piece of 5 1/2 x 4 1/4 cardstock. A few simple scores (4 to be exact) turns what would be a flat card in to a cool pop up!

I will share the full color tutorial with directions and measurements on my blog tomorrow. Make sure you subscribe to my blog so you don’t miss out! Here’s a look at the side view.

I love the new scalloped lace trim too! (I’ll share how I made the fun banner tomorrow.) I had fun coloring the birds with the Stampin’ Blends. You could just as easily watercolor with ink or use Stampin’ Up!’s watercolor pencils. Just think of all the color possibilities for these cute little birds!

This fun fold card would look great propped up on a desk or bookcase. Don’t forget to check back tomorrow for the photo tutorial so you can make one for someone special!

A Trip Down Daisy Lane

May 1, 2019 ~ Jeanie Stark ~ 6 Comments

The other day I posted a set of daisy cards showcasing the new In Colors. If you missed that post you can view it HERE. Before I announce the winners of those cards I want to share some cards that were inspired by my stamped envelopes the other day.

After I stamped the envelopes the other day I feel in love with those daisies and decided they deserved a card of their own. I used the new Daisy Lane Stamp Set (available June 4th) and the Daisy Delight Stamp Set.

Stampin Up Daisy Lane and Daisy Delight Stamp Sets - Jeanie Stark StampinUp

I love how these two stamp sets compliment each other. And the Daisy Punch works with both sets! A NEW medium Daisy Punch to go with the Daisy Lane Stamp Set will be available when the annual catalog debuts on June 4th. You’ll be able to purchase the set as a bundle and save 10%! What you won’t be able to purchase come June is the Whisper White Narrow Note Cards & Envelopes I used for today’s cards! They are retiring and available while supplies last. I love these little note cards! They are perfect for tucking in gifts or giving with a plate of cookies, etc. You get 20 note cards & envelopes in a pack! I always love to decorate the envelopes to coordinate with my cards. Here’s a close up of each…in the 2019-2021 In Colors.

Stampin' Up! Daisy Lane Seaside Spray thank you note card idea - Jeanie Stark StampinU — Seaside Spray

Stampin' Up! Daisy Lane Terracotta Tile thank you note card idea - Jeanie Stark StampinU — Terracotta Tile

This is what I call simple stamping! I used the Stamparatus for perfect alignment every time!

I added a bow using the Mossy Meadow Linen Thread (from the Magnolia Lane Ribbon Combo Pack available June 4th) and I was done – quick & easy! It would be great to make a bunch of these to have on hand to give out when you go through the drive thru for your morning coffee, visit the doctor’s office, stay at a hotel, etc. I just recently had surgery and I can not say enough about how wonderful the nursing staff was at the hospital! I am so thankful for their help and support! I will be sending them thank you cards for sure! I was hoping to be able to get enough blog posts scheduled in advance so I could have surgery and be back to blogging before anyone knew; however it seems that won’t be the case. If you’ve been following my blog you know I’ve been trying to avoid surgery the past 15 months after dislocating and fracturing my elbow. It has been a long process with lots of physical therapy but it seems there was more nerve and ligament damage than anticipated. I am hoping I’m finally on the road to recovery! My daughter will be home from college next week and I know she will be a great help! I’ll be putting her to work getting product shares ready. *More information about my “Suite” Product Shares coming soon!

And now for the news you’ve been waiting for…

From the comments the other day it seems that Terracotta Tile is the favorite In Color. I appreciate everyone who took the time to comment. I always love to read what you have to say! Congratulations to the following winners…. Kim Johnson, Claudia Piegdon, Chris R., Linda, Mary Ann H! Email me (j.stark@myactv.net) your address and I will put your card in the mail. Enjoy the new In Colors!

Have a great day!

In Color Daisy Cards

April 29, 2019 ~ Jeanie Stark ~ 11 Comments

Stampin' Up! Daisy Lane 2019-2021 In Color note card idea - Jeanie Stark StampinUp — 2019-2021 In Colors

I hope these simple note cards make you smile! I know they make me smile and they are super easy and fun to make. I used the new Daisy Lane stamp set I got for FREE at OnStage.

Stampin Up Daisy Lane stamp set - Jeanie Stark StampinUp

I am super excited as this stamp set has a coordinating daisy punch that is a little smaller than our current daisy punch I used on today’s cards. I love how both stamp sets and punches coordinate! These stamps and punches work for any occasion cards. Who wouldn’t love a daisy to brighten their day?! Here’s a closeup look at each card.

Stampin' Up! Pretty Peacock Daisy Lane note card idea - Jeanie Stark StampinUp — Pretty Peacock

Stampin' Up! Terracotta Tile Daisy Lane note card idea - Jeanie Stark StampinUp — Terracotta Tile

The base of these cards are Whisper White note cards. (Love them!) I cut a piece of Whisper White cardstock 3 1/4 x 4 3/4 to layer on top. First, I cut the scallop circle using the Layering Circles Framelits. Then I stamped the sentiment below and embossed it with the Subtles Embossing Folder. Adhere it to the card base with Stampin’ Dimensionals or Foam Adhesive Strips. I stamped the daisies with the In Color inks on In Color cardstock and punched out with the Daisy Punch. I adhered two daisies together with a Stampin’ Dimensional and used the third daisy to punch the center with 1/2″ Circle punch. I chose to sponge the edges to add dimension then adhered it to the center of the daisy with a glue dot. I punched the leaves out of Soft Sea Foam using the leaf punch and adhered to the back of the daisies with glue dots then adhered it inside the scallop circle. Quick & easy! I stamped the envelopes to coordinate.
