The Double Front Flap Fun Fold Card (try saying that fast 3 times!!! LOL) is two cards in one…a smaller card on front and a full card inside. Let’s take a closer look at each of today’s cards.

My first card features the Waterside Retreat Designer Series Paper. Stampin' Up! Waterside Retreat Designer Series Paper-visit juststampin.com for handmade inspiration, ordering information, and more-Jeanie Stark StampinUp
From life vests and oars to buoys and bicycles, each sheet of this beautifully designed paper captures a beloved element of lake life. The two cut-apart sheets offer the perfect opportunity to add scenic touches to your handmade cards, scrapbook pages, and more! This paper makes great masculine cards. It was easy to fussy cut the fish and water (on the inside of the card) from the DSP. Here’s what you see when you first open the mini card on front.

Then you untie the bow to reveal the rest of the card.

You can easily add another piece of 4 x 5 1/4 white cardstock on the left side if you wish to add a personal note. I really like this fun fold! The best part….it’s really easy and uses just 1 sheet of cardstock for the fun fold and mini card!!!

My first card featured two different patterns of DSP on the front. For my second card, I used just one pattern.

I love polka dots!!! The Painted Patterns Designer Series Paper come in all the different color families. WOO HOO!!!! It features stripes and two different polka dot patterns. The All Aflutter Punch Bundle makes it quick & easy to add butterflies for any occasion. Stampin' Up!

Meet your new favorite stamp and punch duo—the All Aflutter Bundle! From sweet, delicate butterflies to bold beauties, this bundle makes layering fun and easy. Plus, the punch cuts shapes that stand out beautifully on your projects, giving your cards and crafts a fresh pop.

I added a sentiment from the Framed All Around Stamp Set on the inside of the mini card.

I added more butterflies, another sentiment from All Aflutter, and the Berry Botanical Vellum (from May Product of the Month) on the inside.

There’s still plenty of room to add a personal message. Lastly, I stamped my envelope to coordinate.

A Special Fold Slimline Card for Andrew’s Birthday

April 24, 2022April 24, 2022 ~ Jeanie Stark ~ 6 Comments

My son’s birthday was a couple of weeks ago. We waited until he visited this weekend to celebrate a belated Easter and birthday together! I find it harder to buy for my son the older he gets! (I also find it hard to believe that I have a 35 year old son!!!! LOL) He lives in Rhode Island and even though our recent move made the drive easier and a bit closer; the tolls add up fast! So this year we decided to gift him with an E-ZPass (hoping he will come visit more often). I love to make my cards coordinate with the gift so I pulled out some retired Designer Series Paper (World of Good) for his card.
Stampin' Up! Happiest of Birthdays masculine slimline card with World Of Good Designer Series Paper - Jeanie Stark StampinUp
I love this simple layout for a masculine card! I created a slimline card with a pocket so I could fit the E-ZPass application inside. (You can do the application process online if you have the vehicle registration information but I wanted to enclose his “gift” inside the card.) *This slimline pocket card works great if you want to enclose a check, cash, or “coupon” inside. (We sometimes make our own coupon gifts, “Good For….”.) This card design makes it easy to change up the DSP for a feminine card, wedding card, etc.
Stampin' Up! Balloon Adventures slimline masculine card with inside pocket holder for cash or check - Jeanie Stark StampinUp
The inside sentiment is from one of my favorite retired stamp sets, Balloon Adventures. It was the perfect choice to go with this “travel” gift set. I like to change it up and add a little more interest by stamping on DSP when possible. I cut it out with the Stitched Rectangle Dies.
Here’s the details to make this card:

PROJECT MEASUREMENTS:

Card Base – Basic Black: 8 1/2 x 8 1/2 scored at 3 1/2 and 7
Designer Series Paper – Front of Card: 3 1/4 x 5 1/8, cut 2 @ 3 x 1 5/8
Designer Series Paper – Inside card: 1/2 x 8 1/2 (pocket), 3 x 4 1/2 (sentiment)
Designer Series Paper – Envelope: cut 3 @ 1 x 3 1/2

DIRECTIONS:

Fold and burnish card base. Staple inside pocket on ends. Cover staples with DSP strip.
Stamp sentiment on DSP. Adhere the 3 DSP pieces to front of card. *I added a special touch using Black Matte Dots to the map DSP to show the travel route from state to state.
Stamp sentiment on DSP, cut with Stitched Rectangle Die, adhere inside card.
Adhere DSP strips to the front of the envelope.

H is for Hidden Message Fun Fold

May 19, 2017 ~ Jeanie Stark ~ 14 Comments

Welcome to my ABC’s with Fun Folds series. Today’s fun fold has a hidden message. I have been wanting to make one of these fun folds for a long time. I like simple cards and did not think this style card would fit that bill. I was wrong! It really is quite easy once you break it down into steps. Many thanks to fellow demonstrators, Patrice Halliday-Larsen, Natalie Lapakko, and Meg Loven who shared their inspiration and directions to get me started. I changed it up a bit to simplify it! Here’s my card.

I have lots of photos and measurements for you. You need to cut and score 3 pieces of paper for this card.

Front: 4 1/4 x 8 1/4 scored at 5 1/2

Back: 4 1/4 x 5 3/4 scored at 5 1/2

Inside: 4 1/4 x 8 1/2 scored at 4 1/4

Punch a circle out of the front piece by sliding the 2″ Circle punch along the side as far as it will go.

Line up the inside piece the same way and punch from both the front and back. (*You may prefer to line up the inside piece under the top piece and trace the circle with a pencil first then punch it out if you are not confident you will line it up exactly.) The 3 circles should all line up.

Add sticky strip or use Fast Fuse Adhesive along the flap on the back piece. Adhere this piece along the right side of the inside piece.

Close the inside piece and apply adhesive to the top piece only. The front page of the middle layer is adhered completely to the inside of the front layer, with the right side edges lined up.

The photo below shows what the card should look like assembled.

Stamp the sentiments through the hole to make sure they line up exactly. My sentiment is from Garden in Bloom which is a photopolymer stamp set so it was easy to see. (*If you are using a clear mount or wood mount stamp you may want to trace the circle then open the card and stamp the sentiment inside the pencil line using the stamp a ma jig. Remember to erase your pencil marks afterwards.) I opened my card to slide the hidden message part in view and stamped my inside sentiment through the hole.

I decorated my card using the Flourish Thinlits. I adhered the die cut pieces using the Fine-tip Glue Pen. I embellished with ribbon and Pearl Basic Jewels. I stamped the envelope using the Flourishing Phrases Stamp Set and Soft Sky ink. This is such a fun card to make and open! This fun fold would be great for kid birthdays as I’m sure they would enjoy the hidden message appearing when they open their card.

Stamp Sets: Garden in Bloom, Flourishing Phrases, Balloon Adventures Ink: Island Indigo, Soft Sky Papers: Soft Sky, Whisper White Tools & Accessories: Flourish Thinlits, 2″ Circle Punch, Island Indigo Ribbon, Pearl Basic Jewels

Have a Happy Day!
