A Festive Fun Fold for Tic Tac Toe Challenge #296

July 2, 2026July 2, 2026 ~ Jeanie Stark ~ 2 Comments

It’s time for a new Tic Tac Toe Challenge. Take a look at the fun challenge board Rosanne created this week.

I chose to go on the diagonal (Summer Colors, Die Cut, Layers) and create a double collar fun fold card.
Stampin' Up! Scalloped Wishes with Festive Birthday Designer series paper fun fold card idea-Jeanie Stark Stampinup
I created this card for my friend, Marisa, who retired from teaching this year.

She had a fun themed retirement party so I wanted to create a card to coordinate. I thought it was appropriate to pull out the “retired” Festive Birthday Designer Series Paper for her card. The sentiment is from the Scalloped Wishes Stamp Set which I cut out with the Stylish Shapes Dies.

I featured this style card for my Mystery Monday Stampin’ Challenge this week. You can click on the link below for the PDF with step-by-step instructions.

(She would want me to mention that she took “early retirement”! LOL)

I hope you’ll head over to the Tic Tac Toe Challenge to see the projects the Design Team came up with this week. Then Pick 3 and play along…we’d love to see what you create!

Have a great day! Thanks for stopping by!

Q is for Quarter Fold

May 31, 2017July 23, 2017 ~ Jeanie Stark ~ 8 Comments

Welcome to my ABC’s with Fun Folds series. Today’s fun fold card is quite different, a Quarter Fold. It’s quick & easy to make and you fold it like you would a packing box.

This card showcases the Festive Birthday Designer Series Paper. Today is your last chance to get this paper before it retires. The bright fun colors of this card just scream birthday to me. I used the Designer Tin of Cards Stamp Set (also retiring) to stamp my sentiment. This has been one of my favorite stamp sets. It has cool fonts and lots of sentiments for tons of versatility!

To make this fun quarter fold card you need to start with 2 pieces of cardstock (4 1/4 x 11, 5 1/2 x 8 1/2). Trim a sliver (1/16″) off the long end of each piece so the widths are actually 4 3/16 x 11 and 5 7/16 x 8 1/2. This will allow the cards to fit together and close easier. Score the 4 1/4 x 11 cardstock at 2 3/4 from each end. Score the 5 1/2 x 8 1/2 cardstock at 2 1/8 from each end. Use Multipurpose Liquid Glue to adhere the two pieces of cardstock together, lining up the edges with the score lines. (It doesn’t matter which one in inside.)

Fold on each of the score lines and crease using a bone folder. Decorate with DSP or cardstock measuring 2 x 2 5/8.

I used the pansy punch to cut a flower from melon mambo cardstock. I added a White Perfect Accent in the middle and attached it with glue dots.

Cut a 4 x 5 1/4 piece of Whisper White cardstock for the inside. I used the Stylized Birthday stamp and Tempting Turquoise ink. The little flowers are from the Designer Tin of Tags Stamp set that I used on the front of the card.

Fold the card as you would close a packing box. Fold in the left side, fold up the bottom, fold in the right side, then tuck the left corner of the top flap underneath the left side panel.

This card would be great to hold confetti or a monetary gift. (No worries of it slipping out!) The card fits in a standard envelope.

A Birthday Fiesta

Birthday Fiesta from the Stampin’ Up! Festive Birthday Suite

I made these two cards at the Make & Take in Atlanta for World Card Making Day. I have several friends who enjoy Mexican food and these cards will be perfect for them! I embellished the cards by fussy cutting designs from the Festive Birthday Designer Series Paper to add the sombreros as well as the pinata, maracas, and guitar on the cards and envelopes.
