I fussy cut the strawberries and blueberries from the DSP!

I created this card for a friend who dropped off some delicious homemade jam and fresh picked strawberries. They were just as yummy as this suite!! These pocket cards make great note cards for a personal message!

My second card showcases one of my favorite color combinations! I love black & white with a pop of color, especially yellow!

Fun Fold Easel Cards with Special Delivery Paper Pumpkin Kit

February 10, 2026February 10, 2026 ~ Jeanie Stark ~ Leave a comment

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!
Stampin' Up! Special Delivery Paper Pumpkin alternative fun fold valentine cards-Jeanie Stark StampinUp
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.
Stampin' Up! Special Delivery Paper Pumpkin alternative fun fold valentine cards-Jeanie Stark StampinUp
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!
Stampin' Up! Special Delivery Paper Pumpkin alternative fun fold valentine cards-Jeanie Stark StampinUp
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.
Stampin' Up! Special Delivery Paper Pumpkin alternative fun fold valentine cards-Jeanie Stark StampinUp
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!
Stampin' Up! Special Delivery Paper Pumpkin alternative fun fold valentine cards-Jeanie Stark StampinUp
Here’s a look at my second card.

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.

These cards are so sweet and simple!!! Do you have a favorite from today? I’d love to hear from you. Leave a comment below.

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

February 3, 2026February 3, 2026 ~ Jeanie Stark ~ Leave a comment

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!

While this card could easily be used for many occasions, I have a friend who absolutely loves blue so of course I had to make her a blue valentine. I love how the Branching Out Dies frame the sentiment here as well as the “hidden message”.

This card stands for display and I love how you can add a personal message that is hidden inside. I fussy cut some of the flowers that were on the edge of the DSP to decorate my envelope to coordinate.
