A Farewell to 2022!

New Year’s Eve is always a day of reflection for me. I also think about goals for the year ahead. I’m a firm believer in finding joy in every day! I admit some days are harder than others but I try to look for something good in each situation and it’s usually there if I look hard enough. This past year has certainly had it’s ups and downs…I lost my mom, adopted a nine year old rescue dog, remodeled and organized my craft room, and had many fun adventures with family and friends! One goal I definitely have for the new year is to blog more often. I have been creating a lot but unfortunately so many projects never make it on the blog. I miss interacting with you! As I look back at the past year I thought I’d share some of my favorite projects. *Click on the image to view the original post with all the details.

Welcome Baby with Stitched Stars

Stampin'_Up!_Stitched_Stars_baby_card_idea-Jeanie_Stark_StampinUp
My godson welcomed his first child just before the holidays. I couldn’t wait to meet him so a quick trip to Massachusetts was in order. I love to give books and it’s always fun to make a card to coordinate.
Stampin'_Up!_Stitched_Stars_baby_card_idea-Jeanie_Stark_StampinUp
This is one of my favorite fun fold cards because it is so quick & easy to create! The challenge was I didn’t have any stamps with mice to go with the book. (How can that be???) I pulled an idea from my teaching days (and children’s author Leo Lionni) and created my own mouse with torn paper.  It was fun and simple to do! I love being able to use what I have! The inside sentiment is not Stampin’ Up! but one I’ve had in my stash for years. It was perfect to go with this gift.

Here’s the details to make this fun fold:

Card Base: 4 1/4 x 11, scored at 5 1/2  *Cut 2 3/4″ from one end.
Basic White: 2 1/2 x 4 (front), 4 x 5 1/4 (inside)
Designer Series Paper: 2 1/2 x 4, 2 x 6 (envelope flap)
Balmy Blue, Crumb Cake, Blushing Bride scraps: Die cut Stitched Stars and create mouse from torn paper.

Welcome Baby with Whale Of A Time

Stampin' Up! Whale of a Time and Well Written Dies fun fold baby card idea - Jeanie Stark StampinUp

The Whale of A Time Suite was the perfect choice for this fun fold baby card and I can’t wait to show you why!  I love the ocean life images and all-occasion designs in the Whale of a Time Designer Series Paper. You can use the 6 x 6 sheets to create a scenic background for your card or cut out larger images to use as accents (which I did for the whales). Check out the different designs.

I love anything from the ocean (and beach)! I was thrilled I could add some 3D aquatic life using the Smooth Sailing Dies. Stampin’ Up! is great with product coordination!

Word Dies are my favorite and the Well Written Dies work for so many occasions!

Stampin' Up! Well Written Dies are perfect so so many occasions! For inspiration and ordering information visit juststampin.com - Jeanie Stark StampinUp

I used the new foam adhesive sheets with the word dies. These Double-sided adhesive foam sheets can be cut with dies which makes it so easy to cut and adhere!!

I made this card is for my friend Susan who just welcomed her first grandbaby!  The baby’s nursery is nautical with lots of whales and ocean animals. Whenever Susan and I were out shopping she was always picking up something to go with the nursery theme for the baby…clothes, books, stuffed animals, etc. I know it won’t be long before baby Wes is out on the boat with his Gigi and Pap! Look at these adorable pictures and you will see why I chose the Whale of a Time! I love to coordinate cards and gifts with a theme!

I am thrilled for my friend Susan (and also a little jealous)! I love babies and can’t wait to be a grandparent! I shared what I though was a great “5 year plan” for my son back in 2015. I hoped he would find a nice girl, get married, and have a baby when I retired. LOL I followed my part of the plan and retired last year!

I found the perfect sentiments for my card from the Many Mates and Timeless Tulips Stamp Sets. There’s still plenty of room to add a personal note!

Stampin' Up! Many Mates and Timeless Tulips baby card idea - Jeanie Stark StampinUp

I love to decorate my envelopes to coordinate.  I used the Seabed Embossing Folder to emboss the envelope flap then sponged it with colors from the DSP.  I really loved how it turned out!
