Building A Sailboat for Tic Tac Toe Challenge #209

May 18, 2023May 18, 2023 ~ Jeanie Stark ~ 7 Comments

This week at the Tic Tac Toe Challenge, I am the featured designer. Here is the challenge board I created.
Tic Tac Toe Challenge #209- vist juststampin.com for inspiration and more-Jeanie Stark StampinUp
I started out intending to create a simple card going across the top row with: Decorate Envelope, Patterned Paper, Any Shape. Well, as is usually the case when I’m creating, my project evolves and changes throughout the process.

It’s still a pretty simple card; however, it has several layers and lots of texture! My card has 8 of the 9 elements from the challenge board so I decided I needed to go “all in” and created an origami sailboat to coordinate (Anything But A Card). I had so much fun creating these sailboats I ended up making a whole fleet. (LOL)

I used 3″, 4″, and 5″ squares of DSP to create these. I love the mini 3″ version but the only place I could fit a lifesaver was in between the sail. (LOL) The simple sailboat makes Tic Tac Toe all by itself going down the middle: Patterned Paper, Free, Anything But A Card! How cool is that?!

This card and sailboat is for a friend of mine who loves sailing! She recently had a double lung transplant and is doing remarkably well!! It’s really a miracle to behold! I thought the “lifesavers” were a fitting treat to put in the sailboats. She is looking forward to sailing again once she’s fully recovered. For now we can enjoy watching the Friday night sailing races along the shore.

Here are the details if you would like to create this card.

Card Base – 5 1/2 x 8 1/2 scored at 4 1/4 (Thick Basic White)

Layer 1 – 3 3/4 x 5 (Poppy Parade)

Layer 2 – 3 1/2 x 4 3/4 (Blueberry Bushel Glorious Gingham DSP)
Layer 3 – 2 3/4 x 3 3/4 banner (Poppy Parade)

Layer 4 – 2 x 4 1/4 strip (Poppy Parade)

Layer 5 – 1 7/8 x 4 1/4 striped DSP (Boho Blue from In Color DSP Assortment)
Layer 6 – 2 1/2″ Stitched Circle cut from Stylish Shapes (Blueberry Bushel)
Layer 7 – 2 3/8″ Punched Circle embossed with waves (Boho Blue)

Sailboat-Punched with Sailboat Builder Punch in Basic White and Pecan Pie
Sail is stamped with sentiment from Go To Greetings in Blueberry Bushel ink.
I used Thick Bakers Twine to create the nautical knot along the top of the banner.
Banner, strip across the middle, and Circle Layer are adhered with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

A Sweet Treat Alternative with Light The Candles Kit

April 3, 2023 ~ Jeanie Stark ~ 2 Comments

Recently I shared one of my favorite Stampin’ Up! kits, Light the Candles. Today I have an alternative idea you can make using the contents from the kit.
Stampin' Up! Light the Candles Kit alternative idea for a mug cake mix-Jeanie Stark StampinUp
This sweet treat would be great for a coworkers birthday, teacher, hairdresser, or anyone you just want to give a little something for their birthday. I love how the cake in the kit is perfect for gifting the mug cake mix. And if you want to step it up even more, you can give a mug with it!

To make the holder for the mug cake mix, I sealed an envelope then used my paper trimmer to cut off 1/8″ along one side. This side becomes the top of the holder. Next, punch a hole to thread the ribbon through, add your pouch mix, and tie a bow at the top with some twine. You just pull the ribbon up to reveal what’s inside. (I have made these in the past using DSP to wrap candy bars.)

I used the contents from the kit to decorate the front of the envelope. I cut a card base in 1/2 to create a mini card to insert with the mug cake. The sentiment is from a retired set, Party with Cake, and is perfect for this gift. This is an easy treat to make and I’m sure the recipient will love it!.

Bunny Card for Baby or Easter & Pretty Pillow Box Treats

April 2, 2023April 2, 2023 ~ Jeanie Stark ~ 3 Comments

If you were lucky enough to grab the Bunny Punch before it went on backorder, I have a fun and simple card and treat box idea for you today. The good news is the Easter Bunny Stamp set is available and will carry over to the 2023 – 2024 Annual Catalog. You could easily stamp and fussy cut the bunny until it is back in stock. I love the adorable bunny for Easter or baby cards!

Stampin' Up! Easter Bunny Bundle Fun Fold Impossible Card idea for Easter-Jeanie Stark StampinUp

Stampin’ Up! released the retirement list last week and one of my favorite dies for 3D Projects, the Pretty Pillow Box Dies, is retiring. As you can see from today’s project these dies can make more than just pillow boxes.
Stampin' Up! Pretty Pillow Box Dies pocket treat for Easter or baby gift idea-Jeanie Stark StampinUp
This is such a fun project. You can tuck Ghirardelli treats (bunnies or squares), a little cash, gift certificate, or other treat in the pocket. How cool would it be to give the new parents a photo session gift certificate for their newest family member?!

I embossed the front with the Elegant Eucalyptus 3D embossing folder before gluing the sides of the pocket. Just punch and adhere the bunny with some Stampin’ Dimensionals, stamp a sentiment at the top, and you’re done!

Here’s another version I made previously for customer thank you gifts. *Click on the image to view the post with photo tutorial.

If you want the Pretty Pillow Box Dies you will need to grab them before they sell out! Starting April 4th they will be discounted 40% and I bet they sell out fast! Look at all the dies included in this set…flowers, tags, labels, and more!
