September 23, 2026September 23, 2026 ~ Jeanie Stark ~ Leave a comment

Did you play along with my Mystery Monday Stampin’? If you followed the clues you would have created a Double Z Fun Fold Card similar to these.
Mystery Solved!
Stampin' Up! Double Z fun fold cards with Painted Pumpkins and Poetic Petals-Jeanie Stark StampinUp
This fun fold card is double the fun! It’s two Z folds in one card! You can see from the photo below how it got it’s name.

I had so much fun playing with lots of new products! Let’s take a closer look at each of today’s cards.

This fall thank you card showcases the New Painted Patch Designer Series Paper.

Pumpkin spice has nothing on the Painted Patch 12″ x 12″ Designer Series Paper. This pack is bursting with painted pumpkins, cheerful gourds, leafy sprigs, and all the cozy fall feels in a fresh, on-trend color palette. Flip each sheet over for easy-to-use patterns that make cards, tags, and gift packaging come together faster than you can say sweater weather.

I used three different patterns on my card. The pumpkins on the front are die cut from the DSP with the Painted Pumpkin Dies. I adhered these to the 2 2/4 square I cut using the New Tile Garden Dies.

Here’s a look at the NEW Painted Pumpkin Dies.

Create your own slice of autumn with the Painted Pumpkins Dies. Fall favorites, leafy vines, and a sweet little fence come together to create layered scenes that feel straight out of a crisp fall day. Think playful, dimensional, and just the right amount of seasonal cute.
These dies are available as a bundle; however, I didn’t purchase the coordinating stamp set as these dies can easily stand alone. I can’t wait to create with the fence/gate! So many fun possibilities!

The Tile Garden Dies are versatile squares and a “must-have” addition to a crafter’s toolkit.

Tile Garden Dies make it easy to add layered interest to your handmade cards and scrapbook pages. These dies come in varying sizes and edge patterns for lots of options for creating frames, borders, and layers.

Here’s a few more photos showing the Double Z fold. It stands and displays nicely!

The sentiments are from a NEW Online Exclusive Samp Set, Thanks & Giving. I will include the links below for all the new products I used on today’s cards.

I really love this DSP for fall! You know what I always say…Every card needs a coordinated envelope. It’s so easy to add a 2 1/4 x 6 piece of DSP to an envelope flap and trim. For this card I used 2 pieces together.

My second card showcases more New products from the September – December Catalog and September Online Exclusives.
Stampin' Up! Poetic Petals, Words & Wishes, and Soiree Salutations fun fold thank you card with Mosaic Garden Designer Series Paper-Jeanie Stark StampinUp
This card features the New Mosaic Garden Designer Series Paper.
Stampin' Up! Mosaic Garden Designer Series Paper-visit juststampin.com for inspiration, ordering information, and more-Jeanie Stark StampinUp
Bring artisan elegance to your paper crafting with the Mosaic Garden 12″ x 12″ Designer Series Paper. This paper features tile-inspired artwork: soft watercolor florals framed like hand-painted ceramic borders, subtle all-over patterns reminiscent of decorative tiles, and organic brushstrokes. Use large pieces as backgrounds on cards and scrapbooks or cut smaller pieces to use as accents.

One of my favorite new products is the Poetic Petals Dies. This is an online exclusive so you won’t find it in any catalog. Be sure to browse all the new Online Exclusive products!!!
Stampin' Up! Poetic Petals Dies-visit juststampin.com for inspiration, ordering information, and more-jeanie stark StampinUp
A little detail around the edges can change the whole feel of a card. The Poetic Petals Dies include square dies with decorative edge details and floral centerpieces that create full frames or peek-through windows. Use them to frame sentiments, create openings, or add a little extra interest wherever your project needs it.

I went a little “rogue” with this card and added an extra layer behind the die cut flowers on the front and inside of my card. This time I cut the 2 3/4 squares using the stylish Shapes Dies then cut my floral die from the center creating a nice sized border.

I added a few In Color Dots to the center of the flowers.

For this card I added DSP to the front of my envelope to coordinate.

Velvet Meadow Envelope Flap Card for Tic Tac Toe Challenge #300

August 27, 2026August 26, 2026 ~ Jeanie Stark ~ 4 Comments

Here’s this week’s inspiration board:

I chose Die Cut, Patterned Paper, and Bright Colors for Tic Tac Toe across the bottom row. Here’s my card.

This is a quick & easy fun fold card to create! The envelope flap tucks under the sentiment layer and holds the card closed.

This makes a great thank you card as you have plenty of room to add a personal message. It is also a great style card if you need to have several people sign the card. You could easily add a gift card on the bottom. So many possibilities!

Supplies:
Stamp Sets (Stampin’ Up!): Paradise Garden, All Aflutter, Framed Violets
Ink: Peaceful Pine, Berry Burst
Paper: Velvet Meadow Specialty Designer Series Paper, 2026-2028 In Color Painted Patterns Designer Series Paper, Peaceful Pine & Basic White Cardstock
Tools & Accessories: Paradise Garden Dies, All Aflutter Punch, Bone Folder, Paper Trimmer, Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine

You can CLICK HERE for the measurements and step by step “clues” to create this card.

The Velvet Meadow Specialty Designer Series Paper ands the In Color Painted Patterns DSP are on SALE through the end of August! Be sure to check out Stampin’ Up!’s Paper Sale!!!

I created another version of this fun fold card for my Mystery Monday Stampin’ Challenge this week. You can click on the image below to view that post.

I hope you’ll head over to the Tic Tac Toe Challenge to see what the other Design Team Members created. Then Pick 3 and play along!

Have a great day! Thanks for stopping by!

Rewind & Redo with Words & Wishes Dies and Bloom Boutique Designer Series Paper

July 5, 2026July 5, 2026 ~ Jeanie Stark ~ 15 Comments

I’m celebrating 10 years of blogging and taking a look back at some of the previous projects I’ve created and redoing them with current products. I created the card below back in 2016. (Notice there’s no watermark on my card. I had just started blogging at the time and had no idea what I was doing! LOL) *You can click on the image to view the original post.

This card was one from my first ABC Series, The ABC’s of Stampin’. If you are new to stamping, this is a great series to browse through. There are lots of tips and short videos explaining (almost) everything you need to know about the basics of stamping, Stampin’ Up! products and how to use them. Just click on the categories bar and select ABC’s of Stampin’. Unfortunately it will start backwards with the last entry. If you want to start at the beginning, Click HERE or go to the Archives and start at September 2016. It starts September 5th with “A is for Adhesives“. (*If you want my favorite adhesives, see the special offer below for my Adhesive Tote.)

This card is super simple to create! You can substitute any 2 x 5 1/2 piece of Designer Series Paper with some matching cardstock and ribbon. Here’s my card.

This card features the Bloom Boutique Specialty Designer Series Paper.

Pastels, petals, perfection. That’s the Bloom Boutique 12″ x 12″ Specialty Designer Series Paper. With dainty florals and soft, artistic designs, this paper feels like it was made for a boutique window display. Perfect for card making, memory keeping, and gift packaging, it adds a sweet and timeless touch to every handmade project.

I couldn’t stop with just one card for today! I love so many of these patterns I created a couple more!
