Did you play along with my Mystery Monday Stampin’? If you followed the clues you would have created a Trifold Accordion Card similar to these.
Mystery Solved!
Stampin' Up! Trifold Accordion Cards with Nests of Winter & Celebratory Sips-Jeanie Stark StampinUp
I love that this fun fold can be vertical or horizontal. I got the idea/measurements from Kathi Ondus. She created a vertical “stretch” card; however, I have seen several different versions on Pinterest. This is really a quick & easy fun fold. I created both versions to share with you today. Let’s take a closer look at each of these cards.
Stampin' Up! Trifold Accordion Card with Ornamental Christmas & Nests of Winter Designer series Paper-Jeanie Stark StampinUp
I created this card using the Nests of Winter Designer Series Paper and Ornamental Christmas Stamp Set.

I was thrilled when the Nests of Winter DSP carried over from last year! With adorable hand-sketched Christmas birds perched on winter trees and detailed nature elements, you’ll find ways to use these designs for card making, paper crafting, and more.

I fussy cut the birds and greenery from the DSP for the front and inside of my card. It’s so cool how this fun fold card opens. Definitely unexpected!

All three sentiments I used are from the Ornamental Christmas Stamp Set, a new online exclusive you won’t in find any catalog!

I fussy cut another bird from the DSP to decorate my envelope to coordinate.

My second card today is the horizontal version of this fun fold.
Stampin' Up! Trifold Accordion card with Cheers & Sips and Celebratory Sips Designer Series Paper-Jeanie Stark StampinUp
For this card I used the Celebratory Sips Designer Series Paper, Cheers & Sips Stamp Set, and The Right Words Stamp Set (inside sentiment). Here’s a peek at this DSP.

Here’s a view of this card so you can see the accordion fold.

And another with the card “stretched” open.

The sentiment I used on the inside is from one of my favorite sentiment stamp sets, The Right Words.
Stampin' Up! THe Right Words Stamp Set-visit juststampin.com for handmade inspiration and more-Jeanie stark StampinUp
Leave nothing unsaid with The Right Words Stamp Set! This stamp set includes all-occasion sentiments for card making like birthday, gratitude, sympathy, friendship, and more. All sentiments can be used both outside and inside your handmade cards.

I love both versions of these cards. I think this is a cool and unexpected fun fold. I like how the vertical card stretches open; however, I do prefer the horizontal version just because it stand to display. I love to display my cards and hope those that I send them to do as well!

Mystery Solved! Double Diamond Gate Fold Cards with Free PDF

~ Jeanie Stark ~ 4 Comments

Did you play along with my Mystery Monday Stampin’? If you followed the clues you would have created a Double Diamond Gate Fold card similar to these.
Mystery Solved!
Stampin' Up! Double Diamond Gatefold Card ideas with Floral Impressions, Painterly Pears, and Modern Christmas-Jeanie Stark StampinUp
I need to warn you…This fun fold is addicting!!!! I couldn’t stop making them! This card looks like it would be hard but it is actually quick & easy to create! The hardest part was deciding which (of the 7 cards I created) to share with you today! LOL I decided to choose 3 as each of these is a little different. (To be honest, one really can’t be called a “double diamond” as I went totally rogue!) *Remember- there’s no right or wrong way to do mystery stampin’!!!
Here’s a closer look at each of today’s cards.
Stampin' Up! Double Diamond Gatefold Thank you card idea with Impressions Abloom Stamp set & Floral Impressions Designer Series Paper-Jeanie Stark StampinUp
Let’s start with the Floral Impressions card. I stayed true to the mystery stamping clues for this card and created a special thank you card. I love how this fun fold card showcases both sides of the patterned paper and stands nicely for display!

I have been blessed with great friends and family who have helped me immensely through my latest surgery (and two previous). Your prayers are appreciated that this one does the trick. It’s a long healing process and I am hoping that I get good news when I visit the doctor today!

I like that this card allows you to add several sentiments and still have room for a personal message. You could easily replace one of the “white” diamonds with DSP or a stamped image/die cut if you didn’t want another sentiment. I did lots of fussy cutting on my card. When I was little I loved paper dolls and I find fussy cutting very relaxing. (And I’ve had lots of time laying around lately to fussy cut! LOL) I used leftover pieces of DSP to cut the flowers. I added a few Charming Shimmer Faceted Dots and this card was done!

My second card features the Painterly Pears Suite Collection! Stampin' Up! Double Diamond Gatefold card with Perfectly Pears Bundle & Painterly Pears Designer Series Paper-Jeanie Stark StampinUp
The Painterly Pears Suite is another favorite suite of mine! I plan to use this collection for my Thanksgiving cards this year. I Love the sentiments in the stamp set and especially love how the dies cut out some images from the gorgeous DSP!  The only fussy cutting I did on this card was the one pink pear which I adhered on top to bring more color to my focal image.
Stampin' Up! Double Diamond Gatefold card with Perfectly Pears Bundle & Painterly Pears Designer Series Paper-Jeanie Stark StampinUp
I used the Stylish Shapes Dies to cut the DSP in a diamond shape for my layers. I didn’t even need to add the white layer on the inside of my card. The DSP did all the work for me for this card!

My third card today is a classic example of how most cards evolve as I create. More often than not I don’t end up with what I first envisioned. Does that happen to you too?
Stampin' Up! Peace on Earth & Modern Christmas Gate Fold card-Jeanie Stark StampinUp
Instead of diamond layers I ending up punching circles. I tried the diamonds but it hid the trees in the middle section which I wanted to see. Also, the 3 trees I cut from the DSP just looked lost. I added some gold trim between the circles for a bit more glam! I used the Peace on Earth Stamp Set for my sentiments. I heat embossed one in gold and stamped the other in black.

I like how it turned out with the circles and plan to experiment with some shaped dies as well.  This really is a FUN fun fold card!

The floral image is cut from the designer series paper using the dies from the Christmas Greenery Bundle. I added Gold Striped Mesh Ribbon behind the image and adhered with Stampin’ Dimensionals. I used the Traditional Labels Bundle to stamp and die cut my sentiment. I stamped the greeting in VersaMark and heat embossed it with Gold Embossing Powder. I tucked in some more images cut from the DSP and added a couple of sparkling sequins.

My second card today is the same fun fold only horizontal instead of vertical. I created this card for a December birthday (I’m planning ahead!). It could also bean anniversary, get well, or thinking of you card.
Stampin' Up! Words For The Season & Traditions of Christmas fun fold card ideas-Jeanie Stark StampinUp
The floral image is cut from the designer series paper using the dies from the Christmas Greenery Bundle the same as my first card just a different floral pattern. (*So many of the reverse patterns from this DSP can be used year round!) I die cut some of the flower blooms from the side of the DSP and added them with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
SStampin' Up! Words For The Season & Traditions of Christmas fun fold card ideas-Jeanie Stark StampinUp
I die cut Happy with Gold Foil and stamped “birthday” in red and die cut it with a banner from Stylish Shapes. Are you wondering where I got the “Happy” die? It’s from another new product I am so excited about…Words For The Season Bundle! (*I used a sentiment from that set on my first card.) This bundle includes 9 word dies which I absolutely LOVE!!!
Words for the Season Bundle-visit juststampin.com for handmade inspriation , ordering information, and more-JEANIE STARK STAMPINUP
Create the perfect holiday greeting with the Words for the Season Bundle! This combination of festive sentiment stamps and versatile word dies lets you craft phrases for Christmas, New Year’s, Halloween, autumn, and more in a gorgeous script font. Mix, match, and layer for personalized cards, scrapbooks, and home decor.

I went a little rogue on this card. (*Remember- there’s no right or wrong way to do mystery stampin’!!!) Instead of adding a sentiment on the back of the card, I created a hidden message on the front. I cut my DSP 3 1/4″ x 8″ and scored it in half at 4″. I cut the white layer to 3 x 3 3/4 to stamp my message.

I added a simple flower from the DSP on my envelope to coordinate.
