Do you notice anything different with Sheila’s card?

Sheila stopped by to visit me this week. She wanted to create the hidden gatefold with a piece of 6×6 patterned paper (instead of using 12 x 12 from the “clues”). I helped her “go rogue”. We had fun creating together.

Here’s how to create a hidden gatefold card using your favorite 6×6 DSP.
Score a piece of 5 1/4 x 8 cardstock @ 2″ and 6″. Fold and burnish for the inside of your card. Then cut 3/4″ off the bottom of your 6 x 6 DSP and cut it into 2″ strips (each measuring 2 x 5 1/4). Adhere 2 strips to the front of the gatefold on the inside of your card. Then you have a 2″ strip for the front to embellish as desired. There’s no right or wrong way to do Mystery Stampin’! Use what you have and have fun being creative!

I would love to have you join me for Mystery Monday Stampin’! It’s really fun and easy… just follow the clues to create! You will find the first clue (the supplies and measurements) for this week’s challenge below.

This week’s mystery card is a unique fun fold design that I have been wanting to try for awhile. I was on a creative roll this week and couldn’t stop making these fun fold cards!!! I ended up creating two versions (with several of each!).
It reminded me of some books I used to read to my kids when they were young. Have you heard of the books called “Choose Your Own Adventure”? It is not just a book – it’s a quest where every choice unlocks a new path. It’s a really cool mystery and has so many options that you want to reread and pick a different choice the next time. That was me this week…I kept wanting to try different papers and stamps, etc. Sound mysterious??? Get ready to pick your option and solve the mystery!

New “Pup Tent Fun Fold” with Thankful Garden, Wildflower Birthday, and More! Free PDF Tutorial

May 21, 2025June 27, 2025 ~ Jeanie Stark ~ 4 Comments

Did you play along with my Mystery Monday Stampin’? If you followed the clues you would have created a fun fold card similar to these.
Mystery Solved!
Stampin' Up! Fun fold card ideas with Wildflower Birthday & Thankful Garden-join me for Mystery Monday Stamping and follow the clues to create handmade cards-Jeanie Stark StampinUp
This is a hybrid fun fold as it starts out as a bookbinding style with the added twist of an easel card. I couldn’t decide what to call it and rather liked “pup tent” as that is what it reminds me of from the side view. What do you think?

Here’s a closer look at each of today’s cards.
Stampin' Up! Everyday Arches and Arched Wishes birthday fun fold card idea-Jeanie Stark StampinUp

I love the new Everyday Arches Dies! It was the perfect choice to compliment the sentiment from the Arched Wishes Stamp Set. The Wildflower Birthday Specialty Designer Series Paper made this card a breeze. It includes two sheets of die cut images to use on your projects.
The Wildflower Birthday 12" x 12" (30.5 x 30.5 cm) Specialty Designer Series Paper is full of designs that are ready to party! You get 10 sheets of double-sided designs, some with party designs, some with all-purpose designs, and some with tags. You also get 2 sheets of ready-to-use die cuts. This paper is perfect for card making, scrapbooking, and other crafting.

Here are the rest of the designs in this gorgeous paper pack!

The Wildflower Birthday 12″ x 12″ Specialty Designer Series Paper is full of designs that are ready to party! You get 10 sheets of double-sided designs, some with party designs, some with all-purpose designs, and some with tags. You also get 2 sheets of ready-to-use die cuts. This paper is perfect for card making, scrapbooking, and other crafting.

My second card uses the Countryside Corners Dies and products from the Thankful Garden Bundle.

I wasn’t going to get the Thankful Garden Bundle because I have so many floral stamp sets and I didn’t think I needed another. However, I am so glad I did! This set is so cool!!!
Stampin' Up! THankful Garden Bundle-visit juststampin.com for inspiration and ordering information-Jeanie Stark StampinUp
The Thankful Garden Bundle includes the Thankful Garden Stamp Set, Thankful Garden Dies, and Thankful Garden Decorative Masks.

It is so easy to add pretty flowers to your cards and crafts with the Thankful Garden Decorative Masks. These masks are meant to be layered, meaning you can build beautiful bouquets with lots of varying texture and detail. Pair them all together for a floral centerpiece on your cards, or use one or two masks to create subtle floral features on your scrapbook pages. With the Thankful Garden Bundle, your paper crafts will always be in bloom! Die cut the large flower stamps to give your card a bright center piece or pair some greenery with smaller die cut flowers to create an eye-catching gift tag. This set is so versatile! (You can view the complete list of supplies I used to make this card below.)

I took a little creative liberty with this card. Full disclosure- I made a couple of errors; however, there are no mistakes in stamping!
Stampin' Up! Thanksful Garden Bundle fun fold thank you card idea for a friend-Jeanie Stark StampinUp
First of all, I adhered the top before adding the white piece. Oops! So I decided to add a thin layer of basic black and adhere just below the score line. Then I messed up stamping the sentiment on the bottom so I decided to use the DSP to cover it up. I popped up this piece to hold the easel then added a die cut sentiment on top of that. Both easy fixes and a little different look.

Are you ready to give this fun fold a try? Feel free to add your own twist!
I’d love to see what you create! 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’ll share your works of art on my blog on Sunday!
