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.

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!

Did you play along with my Mystery Monday Stampin’? If you followed the clues you would have created a pinwheel tower card similar to these.
Mystery Solved!
Stampin' Up! Fun Fold Pinwheel Tower Card ideas for birthday or Halloween with Floral Impressions & Spooky Sweet-Jeanie Stark StampinUp
This card looks complicated but, trust me, it is really easy to make! As always, I will include the PDF below with the step by step “clues” for you follow if you want to create this fun fold.

Here’s a closer look at each of my cards.

This card showcases the gorgeous Floral Impressions Designer Series Paper. I’ve been using this paper a lot lately. (It is one of my favorites and it’s on sale!)

I used the first pattern (shown above in the upper left) for each of The 2 1/2 x 4 panels on my card.

This “rainbow” of flowers makes me smile! I “fussy cut” some of the flowers from left over DSP pieces and popped them up on dimensionals on each of the panels. I love this added dimension!

I added an extra piece of DSP on this panel to insert a gift card.

The pinwheel tower card folds flat and fits in a regular Stampin’ Up! medium envelope. You can flip through the panels like a “never ending card”. So much fun!

The tower fun fold card is already a WOW; however, I promised to share how I stepped it up even further with an added surprise…
Stampin' Up! Fun Fold Pinwheel Tower birthday Card idea with Floral Impressions & Simply Said-Jeanie Stark StampinUp
Insert a test tube in the tower, add a little water and fresh flowers, and you have an even bigger “WOW card” to hand deliver! A few years ago one of Stampin’ Up!’s Paper Pumpkin kits had little test tubes with cork toppers for Halloween treats. These little test tubes fit nicely inside the tower or you can find test tubes on Amazon.

This idea would be perfect for a get well, birthday (as shown), or even just a thinking of you card. I got this added flower bouquet idea from my sister. We always make cards when we visit each other. My sister created a tower card filled with fresh flowers and had it waiting in the guest room for me during my last visit. *I will share her amazing card (which inspired me) later this week in my Sunday Showcase. (I will have another added surprise!!!)

Let’s flip through my second card of the day…

This fun Halloween card was easy to create using two new online exclusives, Spooky Sweet Specialty Designer Series Paper and the Fright Night Bundle.

Stampin' Up! Spooky Sweet 12 x 12 Specialty Designer Series Paper-visit juststampin.com to preorder your product share-Jeanie stark StampinUp
Colors: Basic Black, Daffodil Delight, Granny Apple Green, Petunia Pop, Pumpkin Pie

The Spooky Sweet 12″ x 12″ Specialty Designer Series Paper includes patterned paper, precut images, and cut-apart scenes and elements. It’s perfect for creating tags and gift packaging for Halloween goodies, accents for scrapbooks, or other spooky-cute paper crafts. I used the cut -apart scenes for each of the panels on my card. I fussy cut the adorable animals in costume and popped them up with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

The Fright Night Bundle was perfect to add fun word dies, a spider, web, and sentiments on my card. Stampin' Up! Fright Night Bundle-visit juststampin.com for handmade inspiration and more-Jeanie Stark StampinUp
I love the nesting label dies included in this set! You can use these for tags and many different cards throughout the year!

I made this card for my grand nephew. Of course I had to step up this card with an extra little surprise as well.

I like these mini bubble wands for Halloween and I know Nolan (4 years old) will too! It’s a great non sweet treat that will be lots of fun! I fit 4 of these in the center of the tower. (I purchased the bubbles from Amazon.)

Nolan told me he likes “scary things” and is really into spiders lately so I think he will enjoy this Halloween card. I always bring him and his sister a new book when I visit and this card will be a perfect compliment to The Very Busy Spider by Eric Carle. *A great book for 2-5 year olds!! (As a former teacher I am happy to offer book recommendations for gifts.)

Double Flap Fun Fold Cards with Floral Impressions & Perennial Lavender..Free PDF

Did you play along with my Mystery Monday Stampin’? If you followed the clues you would have created a double flap fun fold card similar to these.
Mystery Solved!
Stampin' Up! Floral Impressions & Perennial Lavender Double flap fun fold friend and sympathy card ideas-Jeanie Stark StampinUp
I  love showcasing designer series paper, and displaying cards (while keeping the personal message hidden. The double flap fun fold card comes through with all that and more! Here’s a closer look at each of my cards.Stampin' Up! You Are Remarkable fun fold card for a friend with Floral Impressions Designer Series Paper and Nested Essentials Dies-Jeanie Stark StampinUp
You probably already know this about me…I love designer series papers! The Floral Impressions is right up there as one of my favorites!!!
Stampin' Up! Floral Impressions Designer Series Paper-visit juststampin.com for handmade inspiration, ordering infomration, and more-Jeanie Stark StampinUp
I love the radiant hues in the Floral Impressions Designer Series Paper pack! The floral sheets showcase bright blooms and lush leaves, while the coordinating pattern sheets provide a delicate touch of texture and contrast. There is wonderful variety of patterns to add visual interest to your cards, scrapbooks, gift tags, and more. This paper just makes me smile and the double flap fun fold is a great way to highlight the different floral patterns as you unfold this card.
Stampin' Up! You Are Remarkable fun fold card for a friend with Floral Impressions Designer Series Paper and Nested Essentials Dies-Jeanie Stark StampinUp
The sentiment from You Are Remarkable is perfect paired with this DSP! I fussy cut the flowers from the DSP and popped them up with Stampin’ Dimensionals on the Nested Essentials Dies. The Fern Embossing Folder (Last Chance Product) was another great match with the patterns in the DSP.

I left the last “page” blank to add a personal message. I like to change things up for a little of the unexpected inside instead of just the 4 x 5 1/4 basic white. I added the DSP to bring the colors of the card base and DSP together and added a bit of whimsy with the Nested Essentials Die! Just a fun card!

I loved paper dolls as a kid so I don’t mind fussy cutting. If that’s not your “thing” you can easily stamp/die cut flowers using the Impressions Abloom Bundle! It has a great selection of floral stamps & dies that coordinate with the flowers in the Floral Impressions Designer Series Paper!
Stampin' Up! Impressions Abloom bundle-visit juststampin.com for inspiration and ordering information-Jeanie Stark StampinUp
I decided to “go rogue” and try the optional choice to add a little twist for my next card. I used the Stylish Shapes to cut a circle on the front of the card. The sentiment does double duty on the front and inside.
Stampin' Up! Loveliest Tree sympathy card with Perennial lavender, The Right Words, Stylish Shapes, and Beautiful Butterflies-Jeanie Stark StampinUp
I was absolutely thrilled when Stampin’ Up! kept the Perennial Lavender Designer Series Paper in the new annual catalog! I was certainly not done playing with this gorgeous DSP!!! (It’s also one of my daughter’s favorites and I enjoy sending her different cards using these gorgeous patterns!)

You can bring the beauty of lavender to all your paper crafts with the Perennial Lavender 12″ x 12″ Designer Series Paper. The hand-painted designs were inspired by fields of wild lavender and the wildflowers that grow right alongside it. Use these lovely sheets as a background image or die-cut pieces to use as an accent for your card making projects. (*I cut the butterfly I used on my card from a scrap piece of DSP.)Stampin' Up!

I love when I can stamp directly on DSP! It ties it all together for a beautiful presentation. What do you think of today’s cards? Do you have a favorite? I’d love to hear from you! Leave a comment below! I’ll include the PDF to create these cards as well as a complete product list to shop my online store if you would like to purchase any of the products I used to create today’s cards.

I’d like to give a shout out to Mary Anne Cowan who’s Pretty Vellum Double Fold Card inspired me. You can check out Mary’s card HERE. I did change up the measurements a bit (the size of the DSP) and after making my cards I decided I prefer the embossed strips at 1″ rather than 7/8″ so I am making that change in the PDF below. Of course you can always change it up like I do to what you prefer! There’s no right or wrong way to do mystery stampin’…use what you have and enjoy creating something special! (And don’t forget to send your card to someone!!)

I hope these cards inspire you to get creative! Click on the PDF below and follow the clues. Then take a photo of your card and send an attachment to my email (j.stark@goeaston.net). I’d love to share your works of art on my blog!
