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!

I love two-step stamping! It makes creating these pretty flowers so easy! I stamped the flower details in Pumpkin Pie ink then filled in with Peach Pie. I used the Spotlight on Nature Dies to layer the flower image. I stamped my envelope to coordinate.

Pop Up Bandstand Cards with Sunrise Sailing & Mixed Florals…FREE PDF!

Did you play along with my Mystery Monday Stampin’? If you followed the clues you would have created a pop up bandstand card similar to these.
Mystery Solved!
Stampin' Up! Pop Up bandstand fun fold card ideas with Mixed Florals, Mixed Labels, and Sunrise Sailing Bundle-Jeanie Stark StampinUp
This card design is so much easier to create than it looks! I have been wanting to try it for awhile as I saw several different ones on Pinterest. I like simple fun folds and was afraid this was going to be too complicated. I was wrong! It’s just simple cuts and scoring. I was having so much fun creating these that I made 5 of them (so far)! I am not going to share all of them today as I want to see what you make! This week’s mystery had a little twist with some options to choose along the way. My cards showcase two different ways. I chose to emboss the bands on the cards I’m showcasing. (You could use designer series paper on the bands instead.) Here’s a closer look at each of my cards.

I find it very relaxing to color! I used my Stampin’ Blends to color the floral image on the front and back of my card as well as the envelope.

*Tip- Put a piece of scrap paper inside the envelope when coloring with Stampin’ Blends to prevent ink from bleeding through the envelope.
I chose a different option for my second card. I adhered a window sheet (using Mini Glue Dots in each corner) between the top and bottom bands to give the illusion of the sailboat floating in the water. I love how you can see the designer series paper through the acetate.

This card features the Sunrise Sailing Bundle and Beautiful Gallery Designer Series Paper.

You can create beautiful sailboat scenes with a moving ocean and textured sky using the Sunrise Sailing Bundle. This set includes a hybrid embossing folder depicting a serene sailboat on the water and corresponding sailboat dies. Add to your scene with clouds, seagulls, waves, and sailboats in additional sizes. The beautiful pieces work individually or all together for a variety of textured and layered designs. I love to sail so this set was a “must have” for me!
I added an embossed layer to the bands. I used my Blending Brushes to add some white ink to the clouds and a little Misty Moonlight to the waves. I also partially embossed the envelope (making sure to leave room for the address).
