WOW! I am so inspired by the amazing talent from these ladies and hope you are too! Did you notice Cindy created a vertical(portrait style) explosion card for her Beautiful Gallery card? I love how she went rogue and tried a different orientation! There’s no right or wrong way to do Mystery Stampin’!

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).
