Fragrant Flowers Sympathy Card

A dear friend of mine just lost her mom (4 days shy of her 100th birthday). I’ve known my friend Lynne since we were in the 5th grade together. She was one of 8 kids and I have many happy memories in their home. It was always full of love, family, friends, and delicious homemade meals. I wanted to create a special card to celebrate the life of her  beloved mom and the gorgeous Favored Flowers Designer Series Paper helped achieve just that!

I love the simple bold sentiments and coordinating dies. No matter the occasion, somehow flowers just seem to fit! I cut my flower from the designer series paper for this card.

Just Saying Hello with the 2022-2024 In Colors

Yesterday I shared two cards I made showcasing the new 2022-2024 In Colors. Today I have all the details and a simple tip how to make them! Here’s a look at the cards.
Stampin' Up! 2022-2024 In Color card idea for any occasion - Jeanie Stark StampinUp
These cards were inspired by a card I received from my friend, Susan.  Here’s her card.
visit juststampin.com for inspiration and more - Jeanie Stark Stampin' Up! Independent Demonstrator
I really like how Susan used different strips of paper to create a fun card. I also love how she stamped images and another sentiment using Versamark to add a subtle message without taking away from the main sentiment. Like Susan, I heat embossed my main sentiment and then added an additional sentiment and stamped images on some of the paper strips. Here’s a closer look at my cards.

There’s so many possibilities with this card design. You can use cardstock, Designer Series papers, or a combination of each. Here’s the details if you would like to create this card:

  • Basic White card base: 4 1/4 x 11 scored at 5 1/2
  • Cut cardstock (or DSP) into 2 1/2″ strips.
  • Choose sentiment to heat emboss for main sentiment. Cut to length. *Mine is 2 1/2 x 2.
  • Cut additional strips into 1/4″, 1/2″, 3/4″ strips. *All strips are x 2 1/2.
  • TIP: Cut a strip of cardstock 1 1/2″ wide and line up on side of card base and adhere with washi tape (or removable tape).  *This will make it easy to add strips for a straight margin.
    How to line up strips for a straight margin - Jeanie Stark - Independent Stampin' Up! Demonstrator - visit juststampin.com for handmade cards and more!
  • Use Multipurpose Liquid Glue to add strips. Stamp additional images or sentiments on some of the strips using Versamark.
  • Remove cardstock margin and embellish with punched or die cut pieces. *I stamp the flowers and leaves in Versamark and punched out with the Flowers & Leaves Punch. I adhered these to the card with Mini Glue Dots.
  • Decorate envelope to coordinate.

Bay Window Fun Fold Birthday Card

Stam[in' Up! Peaceful Moments Hydrangea Hill Bay Window Fun Fold Birthday Card Idea - Jeanie Stark StampinUp
Oh my gosh! I love this “new to me” fun fold card! I learned this “bay window” fun fold idea from Rachel Tessman. I changed it up using the Hydrangea Hill Designer Series Paper and several different stamp sets. I made this card for my sister’s birthday. She loves hydrangeas! Our birthdays are just two days apart and we often celebrated together growing up.  I added some butterflies because they remind me of my favorite “butterfly cake” my mom would bake  for my sister and me. (*To make a butterfly cake, my mom would bake a round chocolate cake, cut it in half, and put the curved sides in the middle. She would frost it all over, put Hershey kisses down the middle, and add licorice for antennae. Perfect for our spring birthdays!)

Here’s more photos of this cool fun fold card. This first one shows what the card looks like closed.
Stam[in' Up! Peaceful Moments Hydrangea Hill Bay Window Fun Fold Birthday Card Idea - Jeanie Stark StampinUp
The butterflies are stamped on Basic White using the Butterfly Gala Stamp Set and Memento Black Ink. They are colored with Stampin’ Blends and punched out using the Butterfly Duet Punch.
Here’s a look at the inside of the card.
Stam[in' Up! Happiest of Birthdays and Punch Party Hydrangea Hill Bay Window Fun Fold Birthday Card Idea - Jeanie Stark StampinUp
The inside sentiment is from the Happiest of Birthdays Stamp Set.  I added the Gorgeous Grape Sheer Ribbon and a Pastel Pearl to the sentiment on the side from Punch Party. It is punched out using the Timeless Label Punch and popped up with Stampin’ Dimensionals to hold the card open for the bay window look.
