Pretty Perennials Slimline Birthday Card

February 5, 2021April 24, 2022 ~ Jeanie Stark ~ 19 Comments

This has been a busy week! I can not believe it’s Friday already! I loved reading all your suggestions for monthly tutorials and I will certainly be using these ideas to create. There are so many great choices in the new Mini Catalog that there simply isn’t enough months to showcase them all!!! This month I will be featuring the oh so pretty Pretty Perennials Bundle. It’s one of My Favorite Things from the new Mini Catalog.

This set had me at “happy”! I love the font and all the different sentiments that work with it! For my card today I made a slimline card and custom envelope to coordinate.

I am totally on board with the new slimline craze! I’ve made a few others which I shared previously which were sized to fit a business size #10 envelope. This one I made a little different to fit my sentiment and the look I wanted to create so I made my own custom envelope to match.

I had so much fun creating this envelope using the Paper Blooms Designer Series Paper (A FREE gift during Sale-A-Bration)! You can easily add a stick on Avery Label to the front of the envelope to address it to send through the mail.

The additional flower on the back is not necessary to close the envelope it but adds a nice touch don’t you think? I wanted it to coordinate with the die cut flowers on the front of the card. Here’s a close up.

I created the inside of this card to be as pretty as the front!

The inside sentiment comes from the Happiest of Birthdays stamp set. I added the Paper Blooms Designer Series Paper on the inside so the sentiment wouldn’t look lost.

The tutorial for this card and custom slimline envelope is part of my exclusive monthly tutorials for February featuring the Pretty Perennials Bundle. You’ll get 3 card tutorials, the custom envelope tutorial, and a fun 3D project tutorial I will be showcasing later. Check out my Just Stampin’ Rewards below to see how to get your hands on all these ideas!!

I’m looking forward to the Super Bowl this weekend, how about you? What team are you rooting for?

Have a great day! Stay safe! Stay well!

Stampin' Up! Punch Party Flower & Field thank you card idea - Jeanie Stark StampinUp
This simple card design (inspired by a card sketch) can be used with any designer series paper! I used the Flower & Field Designer Series Paper and cut the strips 1 x 3. The Heart Punch Pack makes it quick & easy to create multiple cards!

The Cherry Cobbler hearts are embossed with the Ornate Floral 3D Embossing Folder. Here’s a close up view.

The sentiment is from the Punch Party Stamp Set. This awesome stamp set is so versatile! I also love that it coordinates with 3 different punches (Double Oval Punch, Heart Punch Pack, Postage Stamp Punch).

Berry Blessings Berry Basket Tutorial

January 24, 2021January 29, 2021 ~ Jeanie Stark ~ 13 Comments

Yesterday I shared a Sweet Strawberry berry basket. Today’s flavor is a blueberry version.

If you missed yesterday’s post all about the Sweet Strawberry basket you can view it HERE. Today I’m focusing on the blueberry basket which holds some delicious blueberry jam.

I used the Berry Blessings Bundle from Sale-A-Bration. This is My Favorite Sale-A-Bration item! You get the Berry Blessings Stamp Set and the Berry Delightful Designer Series Paper for FREE with an online order of $100 or more.

I have been creating so many fun projects with this bundle. I love the juicy paper designs and “wishing you the berry best” sentiment I used on the coordinating card.
Stampin' Up! Berry Blessings berry basket and coordinating note card gift set idea - Jeanie Stark StampinUp
The gift card is a 3 x 6 piece of Pacific Point scored at 3″. I cut a 2 3/4 Basic White square and stamped the sentiment along the bottom with Pacific Point ink. I added a 2 3/4″ x 2″ piece of the Berry Delightful Designer Series Paper and wrapped some navy ribbon (from the Playing with Patterns Ribbon Combo Pack) around and tied a bow. I adhered this layer to the card base. This little gift card can fit in the basket with the jam.

I made a coordinating card for the strawberry version as well.

The dimensions for the strawberry card are the same except I added a 1/2 x 2 3/4 strip of DSP along with a punched flower like the tag on the jar of jam. Are you wondering where I got the twine? It’s actually white and is found in the Snail Mail Twine Combo Pack. Here’s today’s TIP…Use Stampin’ Blends to color the white twine any color you want! I used the Granny Apple Green Stampin’ Blend to color it to coordinate. I am thrilled Stampin’ Up! brought the twine back. Now you can make any color you want with some white twine and Stampin’ Blends!

As promised, here’s the details to make the berry basket:

Berry Basket Tutorial

Measurements:

Cardstock Base: 3 x 9 and 2 3/4 x 9 – score each at 3 and 6.
Cardstock rim: 1 x 9 and 1 x 4 1/4 – score each down the middle at 1/2
DSP (Berry Delightful)): cut 2 pieces 3 x 3, cut 2 pieces 2 3/4 x 3

Directions:

Fold and burnish the cardstock pieces.
Layer the 2 3/4 x 9 piece across the middle of the 3 x 9 piece to form a cross. Adhere with Liquid Glue in the center.
Turn over and adhere designer series paper to each panel. *Make sure the pattern is facing the right direction when the sides are pulled up.
Use a bone folder to curl the strips to break up the fibers. Add liquid glue on each side of the score line.
Start in the back and using the smaller strip fold over the back piece and join the two sides together leaving a little gap between.
Use the long strip and start along the side overlapping the back piece and adhere the front and side pieces to form the basket.

*This basket was made to fit the Stonewall Kitchen jars. You can alter the dimensions for any size jar. The Wild Maine Blueberry Jam from Stonewall Kitchen is the closest to homemade I’ve found!

This gift set is for a friend of mine who loves blueberry jam on her morning bagel! Prior to the pandemic she would come visit often and stay a few days each time. I always had this blueberry jam for her. I really miss her visits and wanted to let her know I’m thinking of her!

Which is your favorite flavor, strawberry or blueberry?
