Did you play along with my Mystery Monday Stampin’? If you followed the clues you would have created a Box Seat Fun Fold Card similar to this one.
Mystery Solved!
Stampin' Up! Floral Charm Box Seat Fun Fold Birthday card idea-Jeanie Stark StampinUp
This fun fold card design by Sue Campfield had me with the name! Sue called it the “box seat” fun fold because the center section popped out and looked like a box seat at an old fashioned theatre or opera house! How cool is that?!!!

My daughter and I love to go to the theater. She lives in New York and for her birthday this year I bought us box seats to see one of our favorite shows. This fun fold card was perfect to go with her tickets!

If you’ve been following my blog for awhile, then you know when it comes to cards for my daughter I always go with shades of purple (her favorite color). I chose the Floral Charm Designer Series Paper and Charming Day Bundle for this year’s birthday card.

Stampin' Up! Floral Charm 12 x 12 Designer Series Paper-visit juststampin.com to preorder your product share-Jeanie stark StampinUp — Colors: Berry Burst, Blackberry Bliss, Mossy Meadow, Night of Navy, Pretty Peacock, Timid Tiger

The versatile Floral Charm 12″ x 12″ Designer Series Paper is a must-have for any paper crafter. The watercolor florals, greenery, and washes are sure to complement so many different projects. I have made so many cards with this gorgeous DSP! (*Click Floral Charm in the search button to view past posts.)

I used the Charming Day Bundle for the die cut flowers on the front and back of my card as well as one of the sentiments on the back. Here’s a closer look at the die cut flowers.

I cut the floral die twice, once in pecan pie and once in petunia pop. I used my small blending brushes to add pecan pie ink to the leaves and blackberry bliss to the center of the flowers. Then I snipped the leaves off the petunia pop one and adhered it to the pecan pie die cut.

The back of this card looks as pretty as the front!

I used another pattern of the DSP on the back then added a basic beige layer to the side panels to add my sentiments and space to sign. I absolutely love how this card turned out!

Here’s a look at the 5 1/2 x 8 1/2 card laying flat to show all the layers.

The floral dies are just adhered to the center panel with Mini Glue Dots. The leaves going off the sides are loose.

This card folds easily to fit in a medium envelope. Simply fold the side panels to the back of the card. *They slightly overlap one another.

I used a basic beige envelope I had from a Paper Pumpkin Kit and decorated the flap to coordinate with my card. (I really wish Stampin’ Up! would sell Basic Beige envelopes!)

Vertizontal Pocket Cards with Brushed With Beauty & 12 Days of Crafting Advent Calendar…Free PDF

November 4, 2025November 4, 2025 ~ Jeanie Stark ~ 7 Comments

Did you play along with my Mystery Monday Stampin’? If you followed the clues you would have created a Vertizontal Pocket Card similar to these.
Mystery Solved!

I’d like to give a shout out to Robin Armbrecht for this unique fun fold design! The “Vertizontal” Pocket Card is a vertical square pocket card plus a horizontal layer. This pocket card design is perfect for giving gift cards (or cash) for any occasion.

I created 2 birthday cards using some NEW ONLINE EXCLUSIVES.
Let’s take a closer look at each of today’s cards and new products.

My first card features the gorgeous new online exclusive, Brushed with Beauty Suite Collection (available starting today).
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and the Brushed with Beauty Suite Collection has what you need to create eye-catching projects! This suite includes muted floral paper, stamps, and dies to create gorgeous blooms, heartfelt messages, and more. Perfect for card making and scrapbooking!

Create beautiful personalized projects with the Words of Beauty Bundle. This perfectly paired stamp and die set features a variety of heartfelt messages for any occasion, making it easy to add inspiring and elegant phrases to cards, scrapbook pages, gifts, and more.

This will be one of my “go to” bundles for sure!!!

Create dreamy cards, tags, and more with the Brushed With Beauty Designer Series Paper. Delicate designs in soft pinks, yellows, blues, and greens, including stripes, polka dots, and florals, make layering paper accents easy and fun.

Crumb Cake is not a color I find myself reaching for often; however, I love how it looks with this DSP.

I paired Crumb Cake for my vertical pocket with Very Vanilla for my inside horizontal layer.

You can add a gift card or cash in the pocket. I added another sentiment under the cash so when the recipient pulls that out there’s an unexpected surprise.

The “hidden” sentiment is from the Attention Shoppers Stamp Set (retired). “Shopping is always a good idea” and this pocket card makes a great gift!

There are lots of ways to change up the Vertizontal Pocket Card and make it just right for your specific needs. My second card features exclusive products from the 12 Days of Crafting Advent Calendar.

The exclusive 12 Days of Crafting Advent Calendar box comes with a 24-piece stamp set and has 12 never-before-seen products including papers, embellishments, ephemera, tools, and more, all of which coordinate with one another. Each day brings an all-occasion, crafting goodie you won’t find anywhere else!

For today’s card I used the stamp set & coordinating dies, along with some of the DSP, Bakers Twine, & gems. Pictured below is just 1 set of the dies included in the box! (There’s also another set with postage dies!)

I love the sentiments and different fonts in this stamp set!

The 6 x 6 Designer Series Paper has some of my favorite colors and classic color combinations!!!!

I cut the DSP to 3 x 3 for the front of this card (so I can get the most out of it!).

I adhered some gems to the centers of the flowers and added some bakers twine under the die cut flower. The sentiment and flower image are popped up with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I stamped another sentiment and flower inside my card. I love how these sentiments go together.

How cool is it that this DSP coordinates with my gift card?!

I am offering a FREE PDF (with 12 card tutorials) to anyone who orders the 12 Days of Crafting Advent Calendar from me. (*Tutorials will be emailed to you). Click HERE to view my previous post with videos and more details.

Stampin' Up! The Right Words Birthday Fun Fold Explosion card with Peaceful Garden Designer Series Paper-Jeanie Stark StampinUp
I created this birthday card for a dear friend who loves blue! The sentiments are from one of my all time favorite sets, The Right Words. I also pulled out a retired stamp set, Happiest of Birthdays, for the “little-bit-late”. I like the way these sentiments work together.

My second card this week could be used for Christmas or any winter occasion.
Stampin' Up! Traditional Labels & Delicate Pines Holiday Fun Fold Explosion card with Elegant Pine Snowflakes Designer Series Paper-Jeanie Stark StampinUp

This card features the Elegant Pine Snowflakes Designer Series Paper. It’s part of the Elegant Pine Suite. I used the dies from the Delicate Pines Bundle to cut out the snowflakes from the DSP!

My sentiment on the front of my card is from Traditional Labels and the inside sentiment is from Delicate Pines. I added a single faceted snowflake in the center of my layered snowflakes.

I CASED the envelope design from my friend and team member, Rosanne Mulhern. She is so creative and talented and always coordinates her envelopes! You can visit her blog at heartfelt-stamping.com.
