Trifold Accordion Cards with Nests of Winter & Celebratory Sips…Free PDF

~ Jeanie Stark ~ 3 Comments

Did you play along with my Mystery Monday Stampin’? If you followed the clues you would have created a Trifold Accordion Card similar to these.
Mystery Solved!
Stampin' Up! Trifold Accordion Cards with Nests of Winter & Celebratory Sips-Jeanie Stark StampinUp
I love that this fun fold can be vertical or horizontal. I got the idea/measurements from Kathi Ondus. She created a vertical “stretch” card; however, I have seen several different versions on Pinterest. This is really a quick & easy fun fold. I created both versions to share with you today. Let’s take a closer look at each of these cards.
Stampin' Up! Trifold Accordion Card with Ornamental Christmas & Nests of Winter Designer series Paper-Jeanie Stark StampinUp
I created this card using the Nests of Winter Designer Series Paper and Ornamental Christmas Stamp Set.

I was thrilled when the Nests of Winter DSP carried over from last year! With adorable hand-sketched Christmas birds perched on winter trees and detailed nature elements, you’ll find ways to use these designs for card making, paper crafting, and more.

I fussy cut the birds and greenery from the DSP for the front and inside of my card. It’s so cool how this fun fold card opens. Definitely unexpected!

All three sentiments I used are from the Ornamental Christmas Stamp Set, a new online exclusive you won’t in find any catalog!

My second card today is the horizontal version of this fun fold.
Stampin' Up! Trifold Accordion card with Cheers & Sips and Celebratory Sips Designer Series Paper-Jeanie Stark StampinUp
For this card I used the Celebratory Sips Designer Series Paper, Cheers & Sips Stamp Set, and The Right Words Stamp Set (inside sentiment). Here’s a peek at this DSP.

Here’s a view of this card so you can see the accordion fold.

And another with the card “stretched” open.
Stampin' Up! Trifold Accordion card with Cheers & Sips and Celebratory Sips Designer Series Paper-Jeanie Stark StampinUp
The sentiment I used on the inside is from one of my favorite sentiment stamp sets, The Right Words.
Stampin' Up! THe Right Words Stamp Set-visit juststampin.com for handmade inspiration and more-Jeanie stark StampinUp
Leave nothing unsaid with The Right Words Stamp Set! This stamp set includes all-occasion sentiments for card making like birthday, gratitude, sympathy, friendship, and more. All sentiments can be used both outside and inside your handmade cards.

I love both versions of these cards. I think this is a cool and unexpected fun fold. I like how the vertical card stretches open; however, I do prefer the horizontal version just because it stand to display. I love to display my cards and hope those that I send them to do as well!

What do you think of this fun fold? Do you like the vertical or horizontal version better?  Leave a comment below and let me know!

I can’t wait to see what you create! Will it be the vertical or horizontal version? I’d love to share your works of art on my Sunday Showcase!

Stampin' Up! Traditional Labels & Traditions of Christmas fun fold card ideas-Jeanie Stark StampinUp
The floral image is cut from the designer series paper using the dies from the Christmas Greenery Bundle. I added Gold Striped Mesh Ribbon behind the image and adhered with Stampin’ Dimensionals. I used the Traditional Labels Bundle to stamp and die cut my sentiment. I stamped the greeting in VersaMark and heat embossed it with Gold Embossing Powder. I tucked in some more images cut from the DSP and added a couple of sparkling sequins.

I added a sentiment on back from Words For The Season (another new stamp set/bundle available starting Sept. 3rd.)

This card is timeless and the sentiments are perfect for those friends who don’t celebrate Christmas.

My second card today is the same fun fold only horizontal instead of vertical. I created this card for a December birthday (I’m planning ahead!). It could also bean anniversary, get well, or thinking of you card.
Stampin' Up! Words For The Season & Traditions of Christmas fun fold card ideas-Jeanie Stark StampinUp
The floral image is cut from the designer series paper using the dies from the Christmas Greenery Bundle the same as my first card just a different floral pattern. (*So many of the reverse patterns from this DSP can be used year round!) I die cut some of the flower blooms from the side of the DSP and added them with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
SStampin' Up! Words For The Season & Traditions of Christmas fun fold card ideas-Jeanie Stark StampinUp
I die cut Happy with Gold Foil and stamped “birthday” in red and die cut it with a banner from Stylish Shapes. Are you wondering where I got the “Happy” die? It’s from another new product I am so excited about…Words For The Season Bundle! (*I used a sentiment from that set on my first card.) This bundle includes 9 word dies which I absolutely LOVE!!!
Words for the Season Bundle-visit juststampin.com for handmade inspriation , ordering information, and more-JEANIE STARK STAMPINUP
Create the perfect holiday greeting with the Words for the Season Bundle! This combination of festive sentiment stamps and versatile word dies lets you craft phrases for Christmas, New Year’s, Halloween, autumn, and more in a gorgeous script font. Mix, match, and layer for personalized cards, scrapbooks, and home decor.

I went a little rogue on this card. (*Remember- there’s no right or wrong way to do mystery stampin’!!!) Instead of adding a sentiment on the back of the card, I created a hidden message on the front. I cut my DSP 3 1/4″ x 8″ and scored it in half at 4″. I cut the white layer to 3 x 3 3/4 to stamp my message.

I added a simple flower from the DSP on my envelope to coordinate.

Thankful Garden Fun Fold Birthday Card for Tic Tac Toe Challenge #278

~ Jeanie Stark ~ Leave a comment

I love to make fun fold cards and the gate fold card is one of the easiest to create with just two score lines.
Stampin' Up! Thankful Garden fun fold birthday card idea-visit juststampin.com for more details-Jeanie Stark StampinUp
The inspiration for today’s card came from this week’s Tic Tac Toe Challenge board.
www.tictactoechallenge.com
I chose to go across the top row: Stencil, Birthday, Die Cut.

I haven’t used my stencils in awhile and I’ve been wanting to create with this hydrangea. I could not believe how simple it was to color this gorgeous flower using the Thankful Garden Decorative Masks! These masks are meant to be layered, meaning you can build beautiful bouquets with lots of varying texture and detail. I used my blending brushes to add layers of color for a quick & easy WOW! The masks are available separately or included with the Thankful Garden Bundle (*Save 10% when you purchase the bundle!)
Stampin' Up! Thankful Garden Bundle-visit juststampin.com for handmade inspiration, ordering information, and more-Jeanie Stark StampinUp
With the Thankful Garden Bundle, your paper crafts will always be in bloom! Die cut the large flower stamps to give your card a bright center piece or pair some greenery with smaller die cut flowers to create an eye-catching gift tag. Use the decorative masks to add texture paste for dimension or blend soft colors for extra depth. This bundle is perfect for expressing love and gratitude in a truly artistic way.

This bundle coordinates with one of my favorite designer series paper pack, Lovely Garden.

Stampin' Up! Lovely Garden 12x12 Designer Series Paper-visit juststampin.com for inspiration and ordering information-Jeanie Stark StampinUp
Product colors: Basic Black, Blueberry Bushel, Crushed Curry, Fresh Freesia, Garden Green, Melon Mambo

I had intended to use strips of DSP on the front of the card; however, I thought it distracted from the beautiful flower. I love how it turned out with the DSP and die cuts on the inside.
Stampin' Up! The Right Words & Lovely Garden fun fold birthday card idea-visit juststampin.com for more details-Jeanie Stark StampinUp
Here are the details to create today’s card:

Supplies:
Stamp Sets: Stampin’ Up! Thankful Garden Bundle, The Right Words
Ink: Stampin’ Up! Boho Blue, Blueberry Bushel, Garden GreenSoft Sea Foam, Momento Black
Paper: Blueberry Bushel, Boho Blue, Garden Green, & Basic White cardstock, Lovely Garden 12 x 12 Designer Series Paper
Tools & Accessories: Thankful Garden Decorative Masks & Dies, Blending Brushes, Textured Notes Dies, 2023-2025 In Color Flat Pearls, Eyelet 3D Embossing Folder, Garden Green Twine, Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine

Measurements:
Card base: 5 1/2 x 8 1/2 scored along the long side @ 2 1/8 from each end
Cardstock (Boho Blue): 2 @ 1 7/8 x 2 1/8 embossed, 3 3/8 x 4 5/8
White Cardstock: 4 1/4 x 4 1/2 to stamp hydrangea, 2 3/4 x 4 1/4 (inside)
Garden Green: scraps to die cut leaves
Designer Series Paper (Lovely Garden): 2 @ 2 x 5 3/8, 2 1/4 x 6 (envelope)

Directions:

  1. Fold and burnish card base folding the ends into the center.
  2. Adhere DSP strips on the inside along the ends.
  3. Die Cut 2 Garden Green leaves with Thankful Garden Die. Adhere on the inside of card in the center section in opposite corners.
  4. Die cut white cardstock with Textured Notes Die. Stamp sentiment. Adhere inside card in the center.
  5. Adhere embossed layer to front of card across the middle.
  6. Stamp hydrangea on basic white with Momento Black ink. Place on grid paper and use a sticky note to hold it in place.
  7. Using Mask #1, line up the mask with the hydrangea and adhere the piece to the grid paper with a sticky note. Take a blending brush and rub it in the Boho Blue ink pad. Rub the brush on the scrap paper (grid paper) first to blend the ink and then, using a circular motion, rub the brush in the mask opening. Use a very light hand so that you just have a light blue color all over the flower.
  8. Remove Mask #1 but keep the stamped flower adhered with the sticky note in the same spot.
  9. Line up Mask #2 so that the mask opening is lined up with the flower. Adhere with a sticky note. Add more Boho Blue ink to the Blending Brush. Using a circular motion, rub the ink in the opening of the mask using just a bit more pressure.
  10. Remove Mask #2. Line up mask #3 and adhere with a sticky note.
  11. Add Blueberry Bushel Ink to the blending brush this time. Use a circular motion as before and add the darker highlights. Remove mask when happy with the results.
  12. Line up Masks #4 and #5 to color the leaves using Soft Sea Foam then Garden Green.
  13. Adhere flower to Boho Blue layer. Adhere to cardbase with Stampin’ Dimensionals. *Only add dimensionals along the left side.
  14. Embellish with dots. Add a twine bow with a Mini Glue Dot.
  15. Adhere DSP to envelope flap and trim to fit.
