November 6, 2025January 1, 2026 ~ Jeanie Stark ~ 2 Comments

It’s Thursday! That means it’s time for another Tic Tac Toe Challenge!
Here’s this week’s inspiration board.
www.tictactoechallenge.com
I really enjoy choosing elements from the Tic Tac Toe board and creating handmade cards! This week I went straight down the left side with ornament, red, and Christmas sentiment. Here’s my card:
Stampin' Up! Jolly Holly Christmas Gift Card Holder with Christmas Tags & More Specialty Designer Series Paper-Jeanie Stark StampinUp
This fun fold card is called a Vertizontal Pocket Card. Huh?!
The “Vertizontal” Pocket Card is a vertical square pocket card plus a horizontal layer. This unique pocket card design (from Robin Armbrecht) is perfect for giving gift cards (or cash) for any occasion.

Here are the measurements:

Vertical Cardstock- 4 1/4 x 10 scored along 10″ side @ 1 1/2 & 5 3/4
Horizontal Cardstock- 4 3/16 x 5 1/2, 4 x 4 (front layer)
Designer Series Paper (*coordinating patterns)- 1 1/8 x 4(H), 1 1/4 x 4 (L),
3 3/4 x 3 3/4
Basic White – 2 1/2 x 4 (for inside sentiment)

The horizontal cardstock adheres to the middle section of the vertical cardstock and sticks out on the right side. The 1 1/2″ score line at the bottom folds up to create the pocket for the gift card.

This unique assortment of paper and precut images makes it easy to coordinate colors and images on your Christmas cards and gift tags. It includes 6 x 6 full-sheet designs, cut-apart designs for card fronts and tags, and precut images for quick accent. The ornament on the front of my card is one of the precut images. I just added some ribbon and Pearl Basic Jewels.

The die cut and sentiments used on the inside of my card are from the Holly Jolly Stamp set and Traditional Labels Bundle. You can view/shop the complete list of Stampin’ Up! supplies used to create this card below.

This fun fold design is one of 3 cards I created for my Mystery Monday Stampin’ Challenge this week. If you are new to my blog, you may be wondering what is Mystery Monday Stampin’? First of all, it is super fun!!!! The best part is you USE WHAT YOU HAVE to create a handmade card! Whether you’re a beginner or a seasoned stamper, this is a creative way to kick off your week with stamping fun. When you follow my clues you will end up with a fun fold card layout you can use over and over. Plus, after the Mystery is solved I share the PDF with the clues so you can print it off to make the card again.

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.

Are you ready to try a Vertizontal Pocket Card?

Scalloped Gift Card Box Ideas

April 17, 2025 ~ Jeanie Stark ~ Leave a comment

There’s some great deals worth checking out in the Last Chance Products! Two of my favorites for quick & easy projects are the Scalloped Gift Card Boxes and laser-cut Paper Butterfly Accents. I used both for these gifts.
I love to coordinate my cards and gifts. The Scalloped Gift Card Boxes are so quick and easy to put together. In just a few minutes you can have a beautiful gift for any occasion.

You’ll love the versatility of the detailed, laser-cut Paper Butterfly Accents! They come in a base color of white, so you can easily customize them using your favorite Stampin’ Up! coloring technique. Use them for card making, scrapbooking, and other paper crafting projects to add a fun, dimensional element.

Stampin' Up! Paper Butterfly Accents-visit juststampin.com for inspiration and ordering information-Jeanie Stark StampinUp — Paper Butterfly Accents (40 pieces) **Last Chance SALE $5.60**

It’s fun to create your own customized packaging using the Scalloped Gift Card Boxes. The white exterior is meant to be stamped, colored, and decked out in any way you want! The scalloped box edge adds a lovely touch, but it can also be tucked in and hidden if needed. The box includes a removeable insert. Use it to hold gift cards or monetary gifts, or remove it to make room for treats and small gifts. They are quick and easy to assemble with no adhesives required.
