A is for Anniversary

May 27, 2019 ~ Jeanie Stark ~ 7 Comments

Welcome to my ABC Card Series! It’s been awhile since I’ve posted an ABC Series and I’ve heard from many of you that you’ve missed them! I love these series as much as you and this one will showcase a variety of cards for every occasion! Let’s get started with an Anniversary card (or two).

Stampin Up Foliage Frames and Beautiful Bouquet Anniversary card idea - Jeanie Stark StampinUp

I used one of the patterned papers from Petal Promenade for my cards today. This paper is retiring and is AWSL! There’s photographic designs on one side, marble designs and textured appearance on the other.

I used the back of the floral design to stamp and die cut the frame from Floral Frames. Both the stamp set and the Foliage Frame Framelits Dies are retiring at the end of this month. You can still save 10% when you buy the bundle. I haven’t used these beauties enough!

Stampin' Up! Foliage Frames Bundle - retiring June 3rd - Jeanie Stark StampinUp

My first card is a simple card design and one that I use again and again.

I like how it lets the DSP shine and the sentiment still stands out! You can use any shape for the sentiment and add layers if you choose. The Designer Series Paper measures 3 5/8 x 3 7/8 . The mat layer measures 3 3/4 x 4 . I colored the die cut image using Stampin’ Markers and Blends and popped it up with Stampin’ Dimensionals. The leaves were cut from vellum from the set of Foliage Frame Framelits Dies. The sentiment is from Beautiful Bouquet which I am happy to say is sticking around! (There’s a bunch of great sentiments in this set!)

I rarely make one card when I’m creating. I’m always playing around with different ways to see what I like best. I intended to use ribbon on this next card but in the end just added a strip of matching cardstock to set off the sentiment die cut. It’s clean and simple!

I made envelopes to coordinate with leftover scraps of paper.

Happy Birthday with Dandelion Wishes

November 10, 2018 ~ Jeanie Stark ~ 12 Comments

Happy Birthday to my sweet daughter, Ariane. I can’t believe she is 21 years old today! Last week I shared her surprise birthday celebration. If you missed that post you can view it HERE.

I mailed her this card so she would get it on her birthday.
Stampin Up Dandelion Wishes birthday card idea - Jeanie Stark StampinUp
I used the new Highland Heather Designer Series Paper and cardstock because purple is her favorite color. I love the 6 x 6 DSP packs! They are the perfect size to decorate a card and envelope. I first cut a 2 x 6 piece to use on the flap of my envelope. Then I cut the 4 x 6 piece to 4 x 5 1/4 to layer on the front of my card. I used the leftover 3/4 x 4 piece on the inside of my card. I love that there is no waste!

I stamped the image and sentiment in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink. I punched the sentiment using the Pretty Label Punch and layered it with a 1 3/4 Circle in Highland Heather. I popped the sentiment and layered dandelion image using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added some Basic Rhinestone Jewels for a little bling!

Kindness Rocks!

August 22, 2018 ~ Jeanie Stark ~ 15 Comments

I love the beach! We had a wonderful family vacation combing the beach, eating seafood, and just relaxing and chatting away as the waves crashed along the shore. (I think that was the best therapy for me!!!) As we walked along the beach path there was this “rock garden”. It just made me smile as I read the weathered board and looked at all the different painted rocks.

How simple yet powerful! It hit me that this is something I could do with my students! I go back to the doctor this week and I’m hoping to be cleared to go back to school. I would love to involve my Pre-K students in painting rocks and making a special Kindness Garden at school. I teach my little ones that they can make a difference (even at 4 years old) and we role play ways to show kindness. This would be something they could be involved in as well as the school community. I can just imagine the kids on their way home from school or church choosing a rock or adding one of their own to share. I’m excited!

The sentiment on my card today says it all. A little kindness, whether it’s a card, a smile, or a painted rock can brighten someone’s day. I hope you are inspired to spread a little kindness today.

This simple card layout is one that would work with whatever Designer Series Paper and sentiments you have. I used the Abstract Impressions Stamp set with the Stitched Shapes Framelits and Layering Circles Framelits. The ribbon is wrapped around the DSP layer and tied with Linen Thread. The DSP is from the retired Adventure Bound Designer Series Paper Stack.

I have another project to share with you that ties in with today’s theme.

I bought some Chocolate “Rocks” at a gift shop and knew I could use them to make little gifts for my team members. The sentiment is just perfect!

I hope you enjoyed today’s projects. I would love to hear from you! Leave a comment sharing an act of kindness…either something you did or something someone did for you. I will pick a random winner to receive some blog candy! I am blessed with many wonderful people in my life. I strive to pay forward the kindness shown to me. An act of kindness that will forever stand out in my mind was a beautiful handmade prayer shawl I received in the mail after my dear friend, Sister Corda, passed away. It was from someone I had never met that reads my blog. I was so touched and comforted by her gift and thoughtfulness. I can’t thank her enough! I had the pleasure of meeting Nancy in April and she is truly a wonderful and special person!

Have a great day!
