Double Dutch Door Fun Fold Cards

June 10, 2026June 10, 2026 ~ Jeanie Stark ~ 2 Comments

Did you play along with my Mystery Monday Stampin’? If you followed the clues you would have created a Double Dutch Door Card similar to these.
Mystery Solved!
Stampin' Up! Double Dutch door fun fold cards with Bloom Boutique and Lovely Blossoms Designer Series paper and Scalloped Blooms and Balloon Festoon Dies-Jeanie Stark StampinUp
These Double Dutch Door cards were not only so much fun to create, they are super easy!! They can be decorated in lots of different ways and you can even use up some of those scraps of patterned paper on the smaller sections!

My first card features the Bloom Boutique Designer Series Paper with the Balloon Festoon Bundle and Scalloped Blooms Dies.

The Balloon Festoon Bundle and Scalloped Blooms Dies are some of my new favorites!!!
Stampin' Up! Balloon Festoon bundle-visit juststampin.com for inspriation, ordering information, and more-Jeanie Stark StampinUp
Turn any project into a party with the Balloon Festoon Bundle. You’ll get playful sentiments, festive images, and dies with layered balloons, strings, and accents that add fun to your designs. Simple to use and easy to work into your crafting, this bundle is all about adding cheer whenever your projects call for a little celebration.
Stampin' Up! Scalloped Blooms Dies-visit juststampin.com for inspriation, ordering information, and more-Jeanie Stark StampinUp
Scallops are having their moment, but they’ve always been classic, and the Scalloped Blooms Dies make it easy to see why. With nested scalloped-edge circles sized from full card fronts down to the tiniest details, plus rectangular and arch labels for even more variety, this set is perfect for creating intricate cards and crafts with a refined finish that feels both fresh and classic.

This fun fold has plenty of room on the inside to decorate and add a sentiment and/or personal message.

I added another pattern of DSP on the. inside flaps and along the bottom. It’s so quick & easy to make a coordinating envelope with a 2 1/4 x 5 5/8 strip of DSP on flap.

This card would make a sweet baby card too!

My second card features the Lovely Blossoms Designer Series Paper and Lovely Arrangements Dies.
Stampin' Up! Lovely Blossoms Designer Series paper and Lovely Arrangement Dies all occasion fun fold card idea-Jeanie Stark StampinUp
I fussy cut the flowers from the bonus cut-apart sheet of DSP. Then I adhered it to a piece of Night of Navy cardstock and cut around it again for a border to make it pop! I kept this card simple and did not add a sentiment on the front or inside (yet) as I will be able to use it for any occasion.

I love how these cards stand up for display.

Front Step Easel Cards with Waterside Retreat & More

April 21, 2026April 20, 2026 ~ Jeanie Stark ~ 1 Comment

Did you play along with my Mystery Monday Stampin’? If you followed the clues you would have created a Front Step Easel Card similar to this.
Mystery Solved!
Stampin' Up! Waterside Retreat Fun Fold Masculine Birthday card idea-Jeanie Stark StampinUp
Today’s card is a sneak peek of some new designer series paper coming out May 5th.

Drift into calm creativity with the Waterside Retreat 12″ x 12″ Designer Series Paper. Soft, painterly images and sun-faded hues evoke the laid-back days of a lakeside getaway. 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!

I created this card for a friend’s birthday today! I usually struggle with masculine cards; however, this DSP and fun fold design made it so simple!!! I used one of the “cut-apart” images on the bottom “step” of my card. Here’s a look at the side view of this card.
Stampin' Up! Waterside Retreat Fun Fold Masculine Birthday card idea-Jeanie Stark StampinUp
My friend, John, loves to go fishing and he has a dock just like this leading out to his boat. *The punched out image is from the retired Storybook Moments Specialty Designer Series Paper. We get together a couple of times a week to play Mahjong. I chose a sentiment from the retired Game On! Stamp Set for the inside. It was perfect for him!!!
Stampin' Up! Game On Stamp Set and Waterside Retreat Fun Fold Masculine Birthday card idea-Jeanie Stark StampinUp
Even this plaid DSP was perfect as these are the colors of his home office! I love it when everything comes together for a special personalized card! (This is why I love handmade cards!!!)
Stampin' Up! Waterside Retreat Fun Fold Masculine Birthday card idea-Jeanie Stark StampinUp
I only created one card this week because I have made this fun fold before. You can click on the images below to view the original post for each of the cards. You can use the same DSP pattern on this style card or choose two different patterns. It’s a great way to use left over pieces! The cards below have a slight variation in the measurement for the “step” in front. You can make them shorter or taller. There are endless possibilities! *There’s no right or wrong way to do Mystery Stampin’!!!

*This was one of my FAVORITE Designer Series Paper!!!
