C is for Congratulations

June 2, 2019June 11, 2019 ~ Jeanie Stark ~ 8 Comments

Welcome to my ABC Card Series! I’m looking forward to sharing a variety of cards for every occasion from A to Z! Today I want to share some congratulations cards! There are many different reasons to congratulate someone (a new job or job promotion, retirement, anniversary, engagement, new baby, graduation, etc.) Today’s cards feature a simple fun folding pop up gift card card or money holder.

Stampin' Up! Friendly Expressions Congratulations card ideas for graduation, new job, etc. - Jeanie Stark StampinUp

I can honestly say these cards are quick & easy to create! I made this graduation card in less than 30 minutes before I had to head out the door to the graduation party! I enjoy making graduation cards in the school colors which is why this one is gorgeous grape, silver, and black.

Stampin Up Friendly Expressions graduation card idea - Jeanie Stark StampinUp Here’s the card details…The card base is 5 1/2 x 11 scored at 4 1/4, 5 1/2, and 6 3/4. Fold accordian style and add a strip of Tear & Tape along the score line as shown below.

Fold the card and adhere. Use the Classic Label Punch to punch halfway in the middle of the fold then on each side. (*Line the punch along the edge of the paper to do each side.)

Add a piece of 4 x 5 1/4 Whisper White cardstock on the inside to stamp a sentiment or add a handwritten message. Insert cash, check, or gift card in the center slot for a fun pop up when the recipient opens the card.

Wrap the card in ribbon and add your layered sentiment to the front of the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals. I used the Friendly Expressions Stamp Set for both of my cards. I love the font and different sentiments in this stamp set. It is on the retirement list which means tomorrow is the last day to order it before it’s gone for good.

The graduation cap is made with a 1 3/4 square of cardstock. Take a 5 inch piece of Bakers Twine, fold in half and make a knot. Fray the ends and adhere to the square with a glue dot. Punch a 1/2″ circle and adhere on top with a Stampin’ Dimensional.

I love the color combination on my next card, daffodil delight and gray granite.

The sentiment is stamped on a piece of 2 3/4 x 3 3/4 Whisper White and layered on a piece of 3 x 4 Daffodil Delight Designer Series Paper. I stamped and punched 2 daisies on Daffodil delight and adhered to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals. The gold faceted dots add the finishing touch. For this card I added a restaurant gift card on the inside for the newly retired recipient.

Thanks to Ronda Wade for the pop up gift card idea! I will be making more of these for upcoming graduations in different school colors!

Have a great day!

Retiring Favorites…Envelope Punch Board

April 24, 2019April 25, 2019 ~ Jeanie Stark ~ 3 Comments

This one I can’t believe! I can honestly say this is the best $20 I ever spent! I have made so many gifts, treat holders, custom envelopes, etc. using this simple tool! It has more than paid for itself and I will hold on to mine for dear life! I’ve had it for 6 years and it is so sturdy for something so lightweight. I’m actually considering getting another one in case anything happens to mine! I love it that much!!!

Here’s a peek at some projects I’ve made with the envelope punch board. *Click on any image to see the original post with directions how to make.

This is one of my favorites! Mini boxes for Lindt chocolates!

You can use the Envelope Punch Board to make money/check gift holders. It’s a great way to step up a monetary gift! Perfect for weddings, birthdays, and holidays!

I love making custom envelopes to coordinate with my cards!

I have literally made 100’s of these cracker boxes for holidays, birthday parties, etc. The possibilities for decorating these are endless!

You can use the Envelope Punch Board to make fun Zig Zag Edges like on the next two cards!

Here’s another way to make a box to hold a gift or treat.

Stampin Up Merry Christmas to All Money card idea with Joyous Noel Specialty Designer Series Paper - Jeanie Stark StampinUp

Christmas is absolutely my favorite holiday! I love everything about the season and enjoy listening to Christmas carols as I decorate, bake, and make gifts. I have a lot of nieces and nephews and they always seem to appreciate cash or gift certificates so I am getting a head start this year. I used my favorite Specialty Designer Series Paper from the Holiday Catalog, Joyous Noel. I had fun using the coordinating elements from the suite and adding different ribbons and embellishments to make each one a little different.
