Stampin' Up! Cutest Crew and Painted Illusions pop up fun fold card ideas-Jeanie Stark StampinUp
This is such a versatile fun fold card idea! I was inspired by Lisa Curcio. You can make these cards horizontal or vertical! FYI…They are addicting!!! I created 3 cards to share with you today and each one opens a little different. All three cards showcase the Painted Illusions 12 x 12 Designer Series Paper (from the February Product of the Month) and the Cutest Crew Bundle! This bundle has been so popular it keeps selling out! It was back in stock last week and already sold out again!!! If you don’t have this yet, click on the product link at the end to be notified when it’s back in stock.

Stampin' Up! Cutest Crew and Painted Illusions pop up fun fold card idea-Jeanie Stark StampinUp
This card features the little birds and is a great all occasion card. I used the Forever Florals Dies to cut the label for my focal point. I used a blending brush to add some granny apple green “grass” along the bottom. The birds are colored with Stampin’ Blends to coordinate with the DSP. I highlighted HELLO to bring a little more color to tie it all together.

Here’s a look at the inside when you open the card.

I used the Textured Notes Dies to cut the sentiment layer for the inside as it was the perfect size! These dies are on the LAST CHANCE product list and are a “must have” in my opinion (Reg. $31. SALE $24.80 AWSL).
Stampin' Up! Textured Notes Dies-visit juststampin.com for inspiration, ordering information, and more-Jeanie Stark StampinUp
Create bordered note cards with the Textured Notes Dies! This set includes a variety of rectangles in different sizes, each with a gorgeously unique die-cut border design. Use to decorate card fronts or create tags or photo backgrounds for scrapbook spreads.

My second card shows the versatility of this fun fold design and stamp set.
Stampin' Up! Cutest Crew and Painted Illusions pop up fun fold pet sympathy card idea-Jeanie Stark StampinUp
I created this card for my daughter. She recently lost her sweet kitty that she rescued 16 years ago. It has been her faithful friend and companion (especially during Covid when she moved to a new state for graduate school and everything was remote). Storm, aptly named after being rescued from a storm drain, lived on her lap while she did homework and often “helped” type. LOL
Here are a few photos of her beloved cat.

The sentiment on the front of her card is from a retired set, Quiet Reflections. I used a different label die from the Forever Florals Dies on this card. The cat is one of the dies from Cutest Crew. I love that you can choose to stamp the pets or just cut images with the dies.

Here’s a look at the inside of her card. *This card opens from the opposite side of my first card. (There’s no mistakes in stamping!!)

I used the Textured Notes dies again as well as another one of the cat dies from Cutest Crew.
Stampin' Up! Cutest Crew and Painted Illusions pop up fun fold pet sympathy card idea-Jeanie Stark StampinUp
I love this sentiment from Quiet Reflections (retired). So true!!!

My third card for today is a horizontal card. Same fold just turned sideways.
Stampin' Up! Cutest Crew and Painted Illusions pop up fun fold thank you card idea-Jeanie Stark StampinUp
This card features the adorable dogs and pawprints from Cutest Crew. The sentiment is from the stamp set, With You In Mind. It is cut with a stitched square from the Stylish Shapes Dies.
I had so much fun coloring these pups with my Stampin’ Blends! When you open the card you see the rest of the crew.
Stampin' Up! Cutest Crew and Painted Illusions pop up fun fold thank you card idea-Jeanie Stark StampinUp
I wanted more space on the inside for a handwritten message so I went “rogue” and added a larger piece of cardstock instead of the measurements in the mystery stamping clues. I love the versatility of this fun fold!!!

I coordinated my envelopes for all 3 cards.

A Slider Pop-Up Card for Tic Tac Toe Challenge #287

February 26, 2026February 26, 2026 ~ Jeanie Stark ~ Leave a comment

It’s time for another Tic Tac Toe Challenge!
Here’s this week’s inspiration board. www.juststampin.com
I chose to go across the bottom with Neutral Colors, Interactive Element, and Frame. Here’s my card.
Stampin' Up! Fragrant Layers Thinking of You pop-up slider card-Jeanie Stark StampinUp
This pop-up slider card has a fun interactive element.
Here’s a closer look at the card.

When the card is closed you can see the “slider” at the bottom. As you hold the slider band on the side you simply pull from the notch and your card pops up and reveals the sentiment on the inside.
Stampin' Up! Fragrant Layers Thinking of You pop-up slider card-Jeanie Stark StampinUp
How cool is that?!!

I used the Fragrant Layers Dies to create the frame as the focal point of this beautiful sympathy card.

Reverse Easel Cards with Peaceful Garden & Floral Charm…Free PDF

October 21, 2025October 21, 2025 ~ Jeanie Stark ~ 2 Comments

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

The Reverse Easel Card is, essentially, the same as the regular Easel Card, except that the 2-3/4″ score line is folded in the opposite direction (like a Z fold card). This small change makes the card base look taller and more elongated. It is a unique way to display a card! Here’s a closer look at each of today’s cards.

This card features the Peaceful Garden Designer Series Paper and several stamp sets. If you look closely you will see a sneak peek at a new Online Exclusive (available in November), the Banner Sayings Bundle. This was a “must have” bundle for me as I love a versatile sentiment set & punches for quick & easy creating! Here’s a look at the bundle (as well as the new stamp packaging).

Add fun stamped banners to your cards and scrapbook pages with the Banner Sayings Bundle! It includes stamps with sentiments for nearly every occasion—congrats, thanks, thinking of you, and more—and a coordinating punch to cut them out quickly.

I used this set to stamp and punch my sentiment for the easel “stopper”. Just pop it up on Stampin’ Dimensionals and your focal panel stays put! Here’s a side view of this card.

My focal piece was created using the Beautiful Motifs Dies.

The Beautiful Motifs Dies include two decorative motif designs and three greenery shapes. Turn the motifs into corner details on your cards or scrapbook pages or use them as a key layering element.

The die I used partially cuts the leaves. I used a sponge dauber and lightly sponged the edges in Misty Moonlight Ink to highlight it better. Then I added some little flowers cut from the Impressions Abloom Dies.

Since the Reverse Easel Card can stand up on its own and be displayed, you can put the personal message area on the back of the card between the 2-3/4″ score line and the 5-1/2″ score line to keep your personal message more private. This (optional) piece measures 2 1/2 x 4.

This card fold flat to fit in the envelope.

I had so much fun creating my second card for today!

I have been working on making cards to send for Thanksgiving. I am blessed with wonderful friends and during this “season of thanks” I love to send a card to let them know how much I appreciate their friendship. I combined sentiments from several stamp sets for this card. I love the sentiment from Perfectly Pears I used on the front of this card. When you open the card I added a sentiment from Amber Autumn. (Another favorite!)
Then on the back where I’ll sign the card I used a sentiment from Words for The Season.

Words For The Season Bundle is right up there with my top favorites! I love versatile stamps sets as well as word dies and this bundle has both!!! Plus it comes with a banner die you can use with many different sentiments!

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.

You probably noticed I went a little “rogue” with my “stopper”/sentiment for this card. When I was creating this card I didn’t want the sentiment to be flat. I always love a challenge and I played around and came up with a really simple way to make it stand up and not cover the focal panel.

I cut a 3 x 3 piece of cardstock and scored it @ 1 1/4. My sentiment is stamped on a piece of 2 3/4 x 1 and adhered above the score line. I added this to the card front with Stampin’ Seal. Then I cut a 3 x 1/2 piece of cardstock & DSP, adhered them together, and adhered it to the card base with Stampin’ Dimensionals. The sentiment folds flat and meets the “stopper” to mail. It pops up when you open the card.

I love how this “stopper” turned out! I’ve never seen anything like it before so I guess I get to name it. I’m not sure what I should call this? It’s more than a reverse easel card. I’m thinking double panel reverse easel???? What do you think? I’d love to hear your thoughts! Leave a comment below.

I would love for you to play along with my mystery stamping! Click on the PDF below and follow the clues. Then take a photo of your card and send an attachment to my email (j.stark@goeaston.net). I’ll share your works of art on my Sunday Showcase!
