You can make a stunning card quick & easy using Stampin’ Up! Two-Tone Cardstock and Black Ink!
Stampin' Up! Beautiful Gallery Fun Fold card idea with Two-Tone Cardstock-Jeanie Stark StampinUp
I love a monochromatic card. This simple fun fold showcases both the light and dark side of the two-tone cardstock.

The cardstock base measures 5 1/2″ x 12″ and is scored at 3″, 6 1/2″, and 10 1/2″.
Fold and burnish the score lines folding back and forth (mountain fold, valley fold, mountain fold). The image from Gallery Blooms is stamped in black ink and cut out with the coordinating die. I tied a bow and adhered it to the card with a Mini Glue Dot. The sentiment from Spotlight on Nature is cut out with a die from Unbounded Love and popped up with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

The two-tone cardstock has a white core which creates a unique look using the tearing technique.

I folded the last score line in on the right side. I tore this piece along the edge to expose the white core (and beautiful texture) then adhered the piece to the inside of the card. The inside image is also from Gallery Blooms and the sentiment is from You Are Remarkable. It stands nicely for display.

I added a panel on the inside for a handwritten message using one of the dies from Textured Notes.

What do you think of the tearing technique? Have you tried it?

I really like to emboss two-tone cardstock. It’s quick & easy! I love how the embossing & sanding technique I used on the card below adds so much texture!
Stampin' Up! Wonderful Thoughts and Sunflower 3D Embossing Folder Thinking of You textured and blended Card Idea-jeanie Stark StampinUp
I used Calypso Coral Two-Tone Cardstock on the front of my card. I embossed it with the Sunflower 3D Embossing Folder then used my blending brush to add some Pecan Pie ink to the flower centers. After that I used a sanding block and gently rubbed over the front of the cardstock to expose the core. I don’t think my photo does this card justice as it really pops and is just bursting with texture!

There are so many different techniques you can do with two-tone cardstock. I am just getting started! I love to experiment and try new things. Do you have a favorite card/technique from today? I’d love to hear from you! Leave a comment below!

Pop Up Bandstand Cards with Sunrise Sailing & Mixed Florals…FREE PDF!

June 24, 2025June 24, 2025 ~ Jeanie Stark ~ 3 Comments

Did you play along with my Mystery Monday Stampin’? If you followed the clues you would have created a pop up bandstand card similar to these.
Mystery Solved!
Stampin' Up! Pop Up bandstand fun fold card ideas with Mixed Florals, Mixed Labels, and Sunrise Sailing Bundle-Jeanie Stark StampinUp
This card design is so much easier to create than it looks! I have been wanting to try it for awhile as I saw several different ones on Pinterest. I like simple fun folds and was afraid this was going to be too complicated. I was wrong! It’s just simple cuts and scoring. I was having so much fun creating these that I made 5 of them (so far)! I am not going to share all of them today as I want to see what you make! This week’s mystery had a little twist with some options to choose along the way. My cards showcase two different ways. I chose to emboss the bands on the cards I’m showcasing. (You could use designer series paper on the bands instead.) Here’s a closer look at each of my cards.

I find it very relaxing to color! I used my Stampin’ Blends to color the floral image on the front and back of my card as well as the envelope.

*Tip- Put a piece of scrap paper inside the envelope when coloring with Stampin’ Blends to prevent ink from bleeding through the envelope.

I chose a different option for my second card. I adhered a window sheet (using Mini Glue Dots in each corner) between the top and bottom bands to give the illusion of the sailboat floating in the water. I love how you can see the designer series paper through the acetate.

You can create beautiful sailboat scenes with a moving ocean and textured sky using the Sunrise Sailing Bundle. This set includes a hybrid embossing folder depicting a serene sailboat on the water and corresponding sailboat dies. Add to your scene with clouds, seagulls, waves, and sailboats in additional sizes. The beautiful pieces work individually or all together for a variety of textured and layered designs. I love to sail so this set was a “must have” for me!

I added an embossed layer to the bands. I used my Blending Brushes to add some white ink to the clouds and a little Misty Moonlight to the waves. I also partially embossed the envelope (making sure to leave room for the address).
