Cheerful Daisies, Layering Leaves, and More…A Showcase of 3×3 Cards

I really enjoy making cards to coordinate with gifts. If I can make a homemade gift as well, I consider that a Win! Win! I love to walk the beach and comb for shells and sea glass so I started creating some gifts from the sea. I’ve shared some of the trinket dishes I’ve made previously. I decided to create cards to coordinate.  One of my favorite cards uses the new Cheerful Daisies Bundle and the Layering Leaves Stamp set with the coordinating Bough Punch.
Cheerful Daisies 3x3 card idea-Jeanie Stark StampinUp
I was so happy with how these turned out I was inspired to create more! I have a lot of different shells so I went through my current and retired stamp sets, designer series papers, embellishments, paper pumpkin kits, etc. I was on a mission to see what I could create using what I had.  I used 12 x 12 Basic White cardstock to create the 3×3 cards. You can get 8 cards from a sheet of cardstock. Here are some of the cards I made.
Stampin' Up! Pansy Patch 3x3 card idea-Jeanie Stark StampinUp
I think pansies are such pretty flowers and I love that they come in so many different colors. I used the dies and retired DSP to create this card (a CASE from the catalog); however, you can easily stamp your own card using the Pansy Patch stamp set and Pansy Dies which are still available. This card would be so pretty to give with a pot of pansies!
Heron Habitat 3x3 note card-Jeanie Stark StampinUp
I love heron and didn’t get to share all the projects I wanted to before the Heron Habitat Bundle sold out and retired! This set will stay in my collection. I used the blending brushes to create a subtle background before stamping the images.  The heron is colored with watercolor pencils and a blender pen then cut out with the coordinating die.
Stampin' Up! Timeless Tulips 3x3 note care idea-Jeanie Stark StampinUp
This card was quick & easy using the Timeless Tulips stamp set.
Stampin' Up! Hydrangea Hill Designer Series Paper note card idea-Jeanie Stark StampinUp
Hydrangeas are one of my favorite flowers! I used the Hydrangea Hill Designer Series Paper to create this card and matching envelope.
Stampin' Up! Painted Harvest and Leaf Punch 3x3 Card idea-Jeanie Stark StampinUp
The retired Painted Harvest Stamp set and Leaf Punch was used to create this sunflower card. I was able to match the green leaves using the recently retired Soft Succulent cardstock and Evening Evergreen ink (from the 2021-2023 In Colors).
Stampin' Up! Sailing Home Stamp set and dies 3x3 card idea-Jeanie Stark StampinUp
If there’s a stamp set, die, or embossing folder that has anything to do with the ocean, I probably own it! LOL  This card was created using the Sailing Home Stamp set and dies. I love to go sailing and could spend my days on the water! These would be great for masculine gifts too!
Stampin' Up! Seashells 3D Embossing Folder 3x3 card idea-Jeanie Stark StampinUp
The Seashells 3D Embossing Folder is one of my favorites of all time!  I love the detail and texture it provides!
Stampin' Up! Seaside Notions and By the Bay Designer Series Paper 3x3 card idea-Jeanie Stark StampinUp
The seahorse is from the Seaside Notions stamp set (retired long ago). I colored the seahorse using my new Wild Wheat Stampin’ Blends…couldn’t match any better! The large shell (and starfish soap) are from my guest bath!
Stampin' Up! June 2019 Paper Pumpkin kit, A Little Smile, alternative idea-Jeanie Stark StampinUp
Paper Pumpkin to the rescue for this card! The June 2019, A Little Smile, kit was one of my favorites.

These cards just make me smile! I love that I was able to use supplies I already had! I bet if you go through your stash you can do the same!

3×3 Cards are great to tuck inside a gift, leave for the waitress in a restaurant/ housekeeper in the hotel, give to the person handing you your coffee in the drive thru or give to the UPS driver who may or may not make deliveries to your home every day. (LOL) I’m sure you can think of many people to share a little handmade kindness with a note card!

Are you wondering what I’m going to do with all these shells and cards? I was asked to participate in our local Farmer’s Market that will open later this month. I thought this would be a great opportunity to meet more people and promote my Stampin’ Up! business. I intend to gift the cards with the purchase of the shells. I will tuck the coordinating card as well as my Stampin’ Up! business card in the box. I love to shop the Clearance Rack and I stocked up on Stampin’ Up! boxes and other packaging items when they went on sale! These boxes make gift giving so easy!
Stampin' Up! Mini Pizza Boxes, Clear Acetate boxes, and Scalloped Treat Boxes make gift giving easy-Jeanie Stark StampinUp

The shells and cards fit in either the Mini Pizza Boxes or Scalloped Kraft Treat Boxes. My oyster wine stoppers fit in the Tag A Bag Gift Boxes and a set of two napkin rings fit in the clear acetate boxes.  I created the napkin rings to use in my home.

I also make shells for holiday table favors.

The beautiful By the Bay 6×6 Specialty Designer Series Paper has the perfect designs for my oyster shell crafts! I love this simple card design and coordinating envelope.

Here’s what others have said about my past kits:

I love Jeanie’s kits – they are are like getting a beautiful gift when you open the envelope! Her directions are clear and I have loved what I have gotten. Because I am away from home for the winter I have limited supplies with me, so these kits make it much easier for me to continue crafting while I am away!  Nancy H.

Your photos and instructions are great. Christmas was just too much fun. I was able to whip up some extra gift card holders using your measurements which was so fast and easy.  I will send you an email to reserve another fun kit! It is fun to use papers and stuff I don’t have yet too.  Chris R. from Iowa

I love your kits. Your attention to detail is amazing. Instructions are fantastic and precise so that each item is quick and easy to put together. The pictures are a big plus in following the instructions.. Thank you so much for making these kits available to us.   Bernice P

Oh my goodness, thank you! I so enjoyed the last kit! Kept me occupied for a week! And this set is equally as beautiful! You do such thoughtful and intriguing projects! Please know that your talents and creativity are appreciated! (And your directions are a retired teacher’s dream!)  Nancy B.

Please count me in! Besides being great cards, it’s the BEST value out there and I’d do this even if you charged more–your time is worth more than you are charging!
Thanks, Jeanie. Excited to see the new things you’ve come up with.
Susan

I worked on your Card Buffet this afternoon. What a delightful way to

spend an afternoon! Your directions and photos really are EXCELLENT. I
think that part of the reason that you write such good instructions is
because you are programmed to teach little kids; it makes you really
good at spelling out every step. Well done!  ~M~

My kit arrived today and I’m so excited!  What great cards and I love the flexibility.  They’re beautiful.   Thanks, Susan

Your kit arrived yesterday and I’ve had great fun putting it together. You did a terrific job!  I love the way everything coordinates (which is my biggest challenge) and the kit was so well organized with the pieces for the box all together neatly in a glassine envelope.  Such attention to detail!  

Your instructions were impeccable.  Your pictures were beautiful and a big help in putting everything together. Obviously I am very pleased. And I will be ordering again if you have future kits.    Thank you so much,
Deborah M

I haven’t had much time to craft lately but I did these in a jiffy and they are sooo cute. Thank you for offering this for us!

*Please note… I can only accept a limited number of orders each month. I may reach my limit before the deadline. You will receive an email when your kit is shipped (~end of August). It will include an attachment with the project samples, supplies, and directions. You can substitute different stamps and sentiments using what you have or just copy my samples. The choice is up to you!

I’ve just spent the last 4 days co hosting a “Stamping Retreat” with my friend and upline, Susan Itell, and team members from California, Pennsylvania, New York, and Maryland! Whenever we get together we have so much fun! I made these cards and treat boxes for everyone using Follow Your Art Designer Series Paper and the It Starts With Art Stamp Set and coordinating dies.
