Just Saying Hello with Flowering Fields

January 9, 2022January 8, 2022 ~ Jeanie Stark ~ 31 Comments

Happy New Year!!! I am really looking forward to a new year and a new start! The past 6 months have been a whirlwind and some stamping therapy is definitely in order! Here is a quick & easy card design that you can use anytime using patterned paper….

Stampin' Up! Tasteful Touches and Flowering Fields Quick & easy all occasion card idea - Jeanie Stark StampinUp

This versatile sentiment is from the Tasteful Touches stamp set. I made a bunch of these cards to have on hand. I love the new Flowering Fields Designer Series Paper in the January – June Mini Catalog (page 15) that debuted this week.
Stampin' Up! Flowering Fields Designer Series Paper - Jeanie Stark StampinUp
I used the front and back of 3 different patterns on today’s cards. I stamped the sentiment on the muted side which coordinates with the beautiful floral prints. These cards were inspired by the card sketch below that my friend, Karen Hallam, shared.

Whenever I have a creative block I try using a card sketch and usually once I start creating the ideas begin to flow seeing the different possibilities. Here’s a look at each.

Here’s the details:

Card Base – 5 1/2 x 8 1/2 scored at 4 1/4
Flowering Fields DSP – 2 x 4 3/4, 2 1/2 x 2 1/2, 1/2 x 4 (inside layer), 2 1/4 x 6 (for envelope)
Cardstock Layer – 2 1/8 x 4 7/8
Inside Layer – 4 x 5 1/4
Add ribbon and Artistry Blooms Sequins to embellish

I had fun playing around with the ribbon for today’s cards. Here’s a close up showing some of the different ways you can add ribbon.

Welcome to my ABC Card Series! Throughout this series I’ve been sharing a variety of cards for every occasion. Today’s card is a fun fold boX card. I love to make fun fold cards and this one is not only different, it’s really quick & easy to make!

Stampin Up! Perennial Essence and Beauty Abounds fun fold box card idea for a friend - Jeanie Stark StampinUp

Materials and Measurements

Card base: 5 1/2 x 8 1/2 Mossy Meadow cardstock scored at 2, 4, 6, and 8.
Perennial Essence Designer Series Paper – Cut 4 strips 1 3/4 x 5 1/4. (I stamped my sentiment on one of the panels. You could use whisper white cardstock if your DSP is too busy or dark.)
Basic Black cardstock to cut Butterfly Beauty dies.

I used a strip of Tear & Tape along the 1/2 inch side to adhere the box. The butterfly dies are attached to the card with a glue dot on each butterfly along the center fold line. This card will display nicely on a shelf. I love how it looks like the butterflies are floating. Here’s more views of this fun card.

Simply Scored Fun Fold for the Pals Blog Hop

May 8, 2019May 9, 2019 ~ Jeanie Stark ~ 32 Comments

2019 April Blog Hop

Welcome to the Pals’ May Blog Hop. We’re so glad you’re here because we made some great projects with “More Than One Score.” You may be starting the hop here or coming from a previous Pal’s blog. Either way, you’ve come to the right place. You’ll find the full line-up below to help you move, or “hop” along from Pal to Pal.

I love fun fold cards! I have been wanting to make this one for some time now but, the name, “Impossible Fold”, sounded intimidating. Let me just say, this card is anything but impossible! In fact, it is a really simple fun fold to make!

Stampin Up Free As a Bird Fun Fold All Occasion card idea - Jeanie Stark StampinUp

I used the Free As a Bird Stamp Set and and Bird Ballad Designer Series Paper which will be available in the new annual catalog when it debuts June 4th. Demonstrators were able to see and play with new products at Stampin’ Up!’s OnStage event. This suite was used for one of the make ‘n take projects. I like to challenge myself and use the make ‘n take products to make something a little different.

This fun fold starts with a piece of 5 1/2 x 4 1/4 cardstock. A few simple scores (4 to be exact) turns what would be a flat card in to a cool pop up!

I love the new scalloped lace trim too! (I’ll share how I made the fun banner tomorrow.) I had fun coloring the birds with the Stampin’ Blends. You could just as easily watercolor with ink or use Stampin’ Up!’s watercolor pencils. Just think of all the color possibilities for these cute little birds!

This fun fold card would look great propped up on a desk or bookcase. Don’t forget to check back tomorrow for the photo tutorial so you can make one for someone special!
