I love this kit! It’s quick & easy to put together and makes such fun cards! You can create the cards as intended or add your own twist.

I created fun coordinating gift boxes using the card bases and the Cracker & Treat Box Dies.

Celebrate With Me – Retiring In Colors

March 19, 2023 ~ Jeanie Stark ~ 15 Comments

Thanks for stopping by and helping me celebrate my 10th anniversary as a Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator this month. Don’t forget to leave a comment to enter my 10 Days of Giveaways! I love sharing some of my favorite products, exclusive tutorials, card kits and more! Welcome to Day 8! Today’s project is a favorite fun fold design (that can be vertical or horizontal) using the retiring 2021-2023 In Colors.
Stampin" Up! 2021-2023 In Color fun fold card ideas-Jeanie Stark StampinUp
Here’s my original project that provided the inspiration for today’s card…the 2018-2020 In Colors.

This fun fold was one of the cards that was included in my Just Stampin’ Card Kit To Go back in May 2020. I always include at least one fun fold card in each of my monthly kits. I made 5 different versions to show the versatility of my card kits. I create them so that you can use any stamp set you already have to add a sentiment. There’s so many possibilities for adding the flower depending on whatever sentiment you use. All you have to do it stamp and adhere! My card kits include everything you need to create…all cut, scored, and ready to assemble. Plus you can refer to the tutorials to create more on your own!

Here’s a look at each of the 2021-2023 In Colors (which will be retiring in April).

Thanks for stopping by and helping me celebrate my 10th anniversary as a Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator. Don’t forget to leave a comment to enter my 10 Days of Giveaways! I love sharing some of my favorite products, exclusive tutorials, card kits and more! Welcome to Day 6! Today’s project is a fun fold card.
Stampin' Up! Hues of Happiness fun fold card idea-Jeanie Stark StampinUp
If you follow my blog you know I love fun folds! (I did a whole series on fun folds from A-Z! You can check them out in the categories bar or type fun folds in the search box.)
I used the beautiful Hues of Happiness Designer Series Paper to create today’s cards. I had fun with all the different colors.

I cut the flowers from the DSP using the Blossoming Happiness Dies. You can save 10% when you buy the dies and stamp set as a bundle. I love the sentiments and different fonts in the Happiness Abounds Stamp set. There are coordinating dies for all the different flowers and leaves!

So many fun possibilities! Here’s a look at each of today’s cards. Stampin' Up! Hues of Happiness fun fold card idea-Jeanie Stark StampinUp
I stamped the inside with a flower and sentiments from Happiness Abounds.

For this one I used sentiments from Framed Florets.

This one reminds me of a Lilly Pulitzer outfit. I used sentiments from Pansy Patch for the inside.
