Another Retiring Favorite… Perennial Birthday

May 12, 2020May 12, 2020 ~ Jeanie Stark ~ 1 Comment

I send a LOT of birthday cards and love having different sentiments to choose from. One of my birthday favorites is Perennial Birthday which is retiring June 2nd. Here is a fun fold card that was part of my Just Stampin’ Card Kit and 3D Project Buffet To Go last month.

Stampn' Up! Perennial Birthday fun fold birthday card idea using Ornate Garden Designer Series Paper - Jeanie Stark StampinUp

Even though I used sentiments from the Perennial Birthday Stamp Set on the front and inside of this card, my kits to go are designed so you can use whatever stamp sets you already have to add a sentiment. Each month my kits to go include 3 cards and a 3D Project. I love fun fold cards so I always include one fun fold card each month. You also get the tutorials for each project so you can make more if you want. My tutorials are a great resource of ideas. Click HERE for all the details to get in on my May kit to go!

Here’s a look at all the great birthday sentiments in Perennial Birthday.

Here’s a few more ideas I’ve shared previously using this stamp set. *Click on the photo to view the original post.

Even though I will no longer post ideas using this stamp set once it retires (because I don’t want to tease you with products you can no longer purchase) it doesn’t mean it will be leaving my craft room. (*Note- If you have older stamp sets, you can always search my blog for ideas by typing in the name of the stamp set in the search box on the right.)

Check back tomorrow for the Pals Blog Hop as we showcase our retiring favorites and some sneak peeks at new products from the Annual Catalog (available June 3rd). I will have another fun fold card to share with you.

Yesterday I showcased the new In Colors. If you missed that post you can view it HERE. The lucky winner of one of my new In Color note cards is…..Bernice P. Congratulations Bernice! Email me your address and I will put your card in the mail to you!

Have a great day! Stay Safe! Stay well!

Explosion Candle Box for Bee Hive Tea Lights

April 21, 2020April 22, 2020 ~ Jeanie Stark ~ 9 Comments

Today’s project features a quick & easy fun box. I adapted an EOS lip balm box created by Sam Donald (Pootles.com) to fit the adorable Bee Hive Tea Lights I found on Etsy.

Stampin' Up! Honey Bee explosion box tea light gift idea - Jeanie Stark StampinUp

I chose to use the pretty floral prints from the Best Dressed, Bird Ballad, and Ornate Garden Designer Series Papers. I think flowers and bees just go together. I embellished each one a little different using the different punches (medium daisy, small bloom, leaf, and sprig). All three have a bee from the Honey Bee Bundle. Here’s a look at each one.

My favorite part is the surprise when you remove the lid. The box just falls open showcasing the bee hive tea light candle inside. Stampin' Up! Bird Ballad Honey Bee explosion box tea light gift idea - Jeanie Stark StampinUp

Here’s the details to make the explosion box:

Measurements

Box: 6 x 6 scored at 2″ on all sides
Lid: 4 x 4 scored at 1″ on all sides
Insert: 1 7/8 x 5 1/2 scored at 1 7/8, 2 3/8, 4 1/4, 4 3/4
DSP: 1 7/8 square for top piece, (4) 1 3/4 squares for inside panels
Cardstock panels (inside): (4) 1 7/8 squares

Directions

Fold and burnish box then cut off the 4 corners. Round the corners on all the remaining ends.
Corner round the top 2 sides of each of the cardstock panels and DSP panels. Adhere to the inside of the box.
Fold and burnish the lid. Cut and notch the corners as shown below. Add adhesive to the notched ends then fold the ends in to form the lid.
Use the Layering Circles to cut a scallop circle in the insert piece to hold the candle. Fold and burnish along the score lines. Add adhesive to the short end and fold to form the insert. Adhere to the inside of the box.
Add DSP panel to the top of the box. Embellish with punched layers as desired to coordinate with DSP. Add DSP strips or ribbon around the lid.
Stamp the bee from the Honey Bee Stamp Set in Memento Black Ink and cut out with the Detailed Bee Dies. Color the stripes with the So Saffron Blends and adhere to the top of the lid with 2 Stampin’ Dimensionals layered together to give added height.

This would make a nice hostess or housewarming gift. Add it to a basket with some fresh bread and honey and you have a quick & easy gift for someone. It also makes a great little thinking of you gift for a friend. You can easily add a stamped sentiment on the inside lid of the box. I stamped the sentiment from the Honey Bee Stamp Set on a 1 7/8″ Whisper White square. There’s even room to add a little message and sign. It’s a card and gift all in one!

Ornate Garden Suite Product Share, Free Tutorials, and More for April

April 1, 2020April 1, 2020 ~ Jeanie Stark ~ 4 Comments

Yesterday I shared that Stampin’ Up! is offering an exclusive early release of the Ornate Garden Suite from the upcoming 2020-2021 Annual Catalog. This vintage, floral suite has a cheerful spring theme plus a variety of beautiful, coordinated product offerings. If you missed that post you can view it HERE. The great news is you can add these items to your cart today! Check out this short video showcasing the Ornate Garden Suite.

I love this Specialty Designer Series Paper! It is a beautiful mix of floral patterns (and some of the patterns feature gorgeous gold foiling).

I know you are going to want to order the dies and stamps so I am helping with the budget and offering a product share so you can save $ on the DSP, ribbon, and embellishments. I also include coordinating cardstock so you’ll be all set to start creating right away! Here’s a look at what’s included in my “Suite” product share.

Ornate Garden Suite Product Share Cost $11 (plus S&H)

6 – 6″ x 12″ Ornate Garden Specialty Designer Series Paper
2 yards Ornate Garden Ribbon Combo Pack (1 yard each – Old Olive, Terracotta Tile)
18 Gilded Gems Embellishments
6 sheets of coordinating cardstock
Free Tutorial – Ornate Garden Pocket Fold Card

Here’s what you need to do to order the Ornate Garden Suite Product Share:

Email me (j.stark@myactv.net) with “Ornate Garden Product Share” in the subject line. *Make sure you include your mailing address! Then send payment through PayPal. To do this, go to paypal.com, sign in or register for an account, click “Send” and fill in my email address (j.stark@myactv.net). Click “next”, then “Send to a Friend,” fill in the amount ($19 which includes flat rate shipping & handling), and Continue. If you do not use PayPal, you may send me a check. *Note about shipping costs….In an effort to continue to provide this service during these difficult times I am using flat rate priority mail shipping to comply with our state “stay at home order” and ensure safe delivery to you. I am able to order these prepaid shipping envelopes online. Thank goodness!

Orders need to be placed by April 6th. I will email you when your share is shipped (hopefully by April 15th barring any shipping delays) and will include the pdf tutorial.

Each month I offer exclusive tutorials for my customers. This month’s tutorials will feature the Ornate Garden Suite. Yesterday I shared a sneak peek of one of the cards that is included in my tutorials. Last month I had a huge request for the Golden Honey fun fold pocket card I created so I made a different pocket card for you this month.

I used several of the new products from the Ornate Garden Suite to create this card: Ornate Thanks Stamp Set and Ornate Borders Dies (available as a bundle), Ornate Garden Specialty Designer Series Paper, and Ornate Garden Ribbon (from the combo pack). The recipient can remove the note from the pocket and reuse the card to send to someone else. Keep spreading the joy!

You can even use the dies to create a coordinating envelope design.

You can receive 3 exclusive monthly tutorials for FREE with an online order of $40 or more (before tax and shipping)! As a special offer this month I will include the pdf tutorial for today’s pocket card if you order the Ornate Garden Product Share. Shopping with me has it’s rewards! Check them out….
