Did you play along with my Mystery Monday Stampin’? If you followed the clues you would have created an offset gatefold card.
Mystery Solved!
Stampin' Up! Wildflower Birthday fun fold card idea with Unblunded Love and Spring Corners stamp sets-Jeanie Stark StampinUp
This is a quick and easy fun fold card to create! I chose to showcase the beautiful Wildflower Birthday 12″ x 12″ Specialty Designer Series Paper.

Product colors: Blueberry Bushel, gold, Old Olive, Peach Pie, Pool Party, Pretty in Pink, Soft Sea Foam

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.

I used one of the die cut flowers as the latch for the sentiment (Clue #6).

The sentiment is from Unbounded Love and punched with the Labeled With Love Punch. Inside the card I used the Spring Corners Stamp Set. I love the corner stamps which leave plenty of space for a handwritten message.

Here’s another Offset Gate Fold card I created using the online exclusive Lovely Garden Designer Series Paper.

I used the Bright Borders Stamp Set with the To the Point Label Punch for the sentiment. I fussy cut a flower from the DSP to create the latch.

Inside I added another piece of the DSP.

Lovely Garden Birthday with Beautiful Butterflies for Tic Tac Toe Challenge #266

Welcome to the latest challenge from the Tic Tac Toe Design Team! Here’s this week’s board.
Tic Tac Toe Challenge #266 www.tictactoechallenge Viist juststapin.com for inspiration and more-Jeanie Stark StampinUp
I chose elements across the top and down the middle making a T for Tic Tac Toe. Here’s my card.
Stampin' Up! Lovely Garden and Beautiful Butterflies Birthday fun fold card idea-Jeanie Stark StampinUp
Bright colors, flowers, twine, spring, 3D…all these elements and more are here in this fun fold pop up card. I used the Lovely Garden Designer Series Paper from Stampin’ Up!’s online exclusives for the background on my card.
Check out this soft but striking paper pack!

Stampin' Up! Lovely Garden 12x12 Designer Series Paper-visit juststampin.com for inspiration and ordering information-Jeanie Stark StampinUp
Product colors: Basic Black, Blueberry Bushel, Crushed Curry, Fresh Freesia, Garden Green, Melon Mambo

The high-contrast design of these detailed florals and pretty patterns will bring depth and dimension to all your paper crafts.

I had fun using the “spritzing technique” with the Beautiful Butterflies Bundle.
Stampin' Up! Beautiful Butterflies Bundle-visit juststampin.com for inspiration and ordering information-Jeanie Stark StampinUp
The Beautiful Butterflies Bundle includes the Beautiful Butterflies Stamp Set and the Beautiful Butterflies Hybrid Embossing Folder (with 12 Dies). The Beautiful Butterflies Hybrid Embossing Folder is a great way to bring fluttery, delicate designs to your paper crafts! There’s so much you can do with this set! One of the dies cuts out a folded butterfly-shaped card. Cut it out, then layer an embossed butterfly on top for depth. Here’s a closer look at the dies!
Stampin' Up! Beautiful Butterflies Bundle-visit juststampin.com for inspiration and ordering information-Jeanie Stark StampinUp
Here’s how I did the Spritzing Technique
Supplies: Beautiful Butterflies Hybrid Embossing Folder, Ink, Blending Brushes, Sponge Daubers, Stampin’ Spritzer, Vellum (or cardstock), Stampin’ Cut & Emboss machine
Spritzing Technique with Stampin' Up! Beautiful Butterflies Hybrid Embossing Folder-Jeanie Stark StampinUp
1. Use a Blending Brush to apply Boho Blue ink to the butterfly on the raised part of the embossing folder (the side that has the Stampin’ Up! Logo on the front).
2.  Use sponge daubers to add Melon Mambo and Garden Green ink.
3. Lay the butterfly die in the embossing folder with the cutting edge up. *You will feel it “lock” in place.
4. Spray a couple squirts of water with the Stampin’ Spritzer.
5. Lay the vellum (or cardstock) on top, close the folder, and run it through the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine. It will blend the inks, cut, & emboss at the same time!

6. Allow to dry then add die cut butterfly layer.

I created another butterfly using this technique with cardstock and different colors.

Here’s a look at both finished butterflies.

What do you think of this technique? Do you like the vellum with the blue butterfly or the spritzed cardstock with the white butterfly better? I’d love to hear from you. Leave a comment below.
