Fun Fold Easel Cards with Special Delivery Paper Pumpkin Kit

Did you play along with my Mystery Monday Stampin’? If you followed the clues you would have created a Fun Fold Easel Card similar to these.
Mystery Solved!

These cards are similar to the Reverse Easel Cards I created back in October. Those cards were portrait style whereas these are landscape. Also, these stand upright instead of on an angle. Just another look for a simple and classic fun fold!

Both of my cards today were created using the January 2026 Paper Pumpkin Special Delivery kit. I like to change things up instead of making all the cards the same. It’s fun to create some alternative ideas using the contents of the kits. I love these charming postage stamp designs! Let’s take a closer look at each of today’s cards.

Everything I used on this card is from the kit except the card base. I used a piece of 5 1/2 x 8 1/2 Thick Basic White for my base and scored it @ 1 1/4 & 4 1/4. I cut one of the card bases in the kit to go along with the DSP measurements from the clues to add the layers. I popped the flower dies up with Stampin’ Dimensionals and added the stamped image. I love the specks of gold in the flower centers!

This card was so quick & easy to change from a standard card to a beautiful fun fold that displays. I added a sentiment on the inside above the score line so it is hidden when the card is displayed.

The sentiment is from the January Product of the Month, Fabulous Sayings!
This awesome sentiment stamp set is still available for just $5 with an order of $75 or more!

One of the things I absolutely love about the Paper Pumpkin kits is the different colored envelopes that coordinate with the cards each month. I especially love this month’s envelopes!

Here’s a look at my second card.
Stampin' Up! Special Delivery Paper Pumpkin alternative fun fold valentine cards-Jeanie Stark StampinUp
I started with a Thick Basic White card base then cut apart one of the envelopes to create the “DSP” layers on my card. The focal layer follows the measurements in the clues. I used the Perennial Postage Dies to cut the layer on the front as well as the sentiment layer. The pretty blue flower reminds me of a floral stamp. I used the stamp set from the kit for the image on the front as well as the popped up sentiment holding up the easel.

I punched the “Love” image using a 1″ circle punch and simply layered it over the other image.

My inside sentiment is from Bee My Valentine.

Hidden Message Valentine Cards with True Blue Florals & Made With Love

Did you play along with my Mystery Monday Stampin’?  Well, some things did not go as planned; however, I am excited to share my finished cards. I hope I fixed the measurements before anyone else cut their paper. (Trust me, enough paper was harmed in the making of this fun fold by me!!!) The funny thing is I have made this style card before but I wanted to try something a little different this time (of course I did!!!). I’ve seen several versions of this style card and I really liked how Connie Stewart made it with the layers that look like they extend. It gives the illusion it is just a regular card and makes it more of a surprise when you open it! Anyway, I tweaked her measurements for what I wanted and if you followed the clues you would have created a Hidden Message Fun Fold Card similar to these.
Mystery Solved!
