Sunday Showcase…Z Fold Gatefold Cards from Mystery Stampin’

Welcome to my Sunday Showcase where I share the fun fold cards from my stamping friends. These cards were made by following my Mystery Monday Stampin‘ clues. This hybrid fun fold card is so quick & easy to create! It looks so different every time just by changing the designer series paper and/or center focal point.

Trifold Accordion Cards with Nests of Winter & Celebratory Sips…Free PDF

Did you play along with my Mystery Monday Stampin’? If you followed the clues you would have created a Trifold Accordion Card similar to these.
Mystery Solved!
Stampin' Up! Trifold Accordion Cards with Nests of Winter & Celebratory Sips-Jeanie Stark StampinUp
I love that this fun fold can be vertical or horizontal. I got the idea/measurements from Kathi Ondus. She created a vertical “stretch” card; however, I have seen several different versions on Pinterest. This is really a quick & easy fun fold. I created both versions to share with you today. Let’s take a closer look at each of these cards.
Stampin' Up! Trifold Accordion Card with Ornamental Christmas & Nests of Winter Designer series Paper-Jeanie Stark StampinUp
I created this card using the Nests of Winter Designer Series Paper and Ornamental Christmas Stamp Set.

I was thrilled when the Nests of Winter DSP carried over from last year! With adorable hand-sketched Christmas birds perched on winter trees and detailed nature elements, you’ll find ways to use these designs for card making, paper crafting, and more.

I fussy cut the birds and greenery from the DSP for the front and inside of my card. It’s so cool how this fun fold card opens. Definitely unexpected!
Stampin' Up! Trifold Accordion Card with Ornamental Christmas & Nests of Winter Designer series Paper-Jeanie Stark StampinUp
All three sentiments I used are from the Ornamental Christmas Stamp Set, a new online exclusive you won’t in find any catalog!
Stampin' Up! Ornamental Christmas stamp set-visit juststampin.com for handmade inspiration and more-Jeanie Stark StampinUp

Deck the halls with beautiful handmade cards and tags with the Ornamental Christmas Stamp Set. Featuring a collection of classic Christmas trees and sentiments, this stamp set makes Christmas crafting oh so easy. Unleash your creativity and let your holiday crafting projects shine. This stamp set is part of the Modern Christmas Suite Collection. (Save 10% when you purchase the bundle.)
I fussy cut another bird from the DSP to decorate my envelope to coordinate.

My second card today is the horizontal version of this fun fold.
Stampin' Up! Trifold Accordion card with Cheers & Sips and Celebratory Sips Designer Series Paper-Jeanie Stark StampinUp
For this card I used the Celebratory Sips Designer Series Paper, Cheers & Sips Stamp Set, and The Right Words Stamp Set (inside sentiment). Here’s a peek at this DSP.

Stampin' Up! Celebratory Sips Designer Series Paper-visit juststampin.com for inspiration and ordering information-Jeanie stark StampinUp
Celebratory Sips Designer Series Paper Colors: Berry Burst, Blackberry Bliss, Bubble Bath, Cloud Cover, Daffodil Delight, Lemon Lime Twist, Old Olive, Peach Pie, Pretty in Pink, Secret Sea, Strawberry Slush, Timid Tiger

Infuse your crafts with whimsical watercolors, fruity florals, and garnishes galore with the Celebratory Sips 12″ x 12″ Designer Series Paper! This patterned paper features fruit, flowers, and summer-inspired drink designs.
This DSP, and coordinating stamp set & dies are part of the Celebratory Sips Suite Collection. It has been so popular it has sold out several times! I love it and had to have it all!!!!

Here’s a view of this card so you can see the accordion fold.

And another with the card “stretched” open.
Stampin' Up! Trifold Accordion card with Cheers & Sips and Celebratory Sips Designer Series Paper-Jeanie Stark StampinUp
The sentiment I used on the inside is from one of my favorite sentiment stamp sets, The Right Words.
Stampin' Up! THe Right Words Stamp Set-visit juststampin.com for handmade inspiration and more-Jeanie stark StampinUp
Leave nothing unsaid with The Right Words Stamp Set! This stamp set includes all-occasion sentiments for card making like birthday, gratitude, sympathy, friendship, and more. All sentiments can be used both outside and inside your handmade cards.

I love both versions of these cards. I think this is a cool and unexpected fun fold. I like how the vertical card stretches open; however, I do prefer the horizontal version just because it stand to display. I love to display my cards and hope those that I send them to do as well!

What do you think of this fun fold? Do you like the vertical or horizontal version better?  Leave a comment below and let me know!

I would love for you to play along with my mystery stamping! Click on the PDF below and follow the clues. Then take a photo of your card and send an attachment to my email (j.stark@goeaston.net). I can’t wait to see what you create! Will it be the vertical or horizontal version? I’d love to share your works of art on my Sunday Showcase!

Christmas in July….Grab your FREE Tutorials!

Happy July 25th! Do you hear what I hear? Jingle, jingle! Christmas is just 5 months away! I try to avoid last minute stress so I start preparing for the holidays early. The whole “making a list, checking it twice”, creating homemade cards & gifts, kind of things! That way when December comes I can relax and really enjoy and appreciate the blessings of the season! When do you usually start your holiday preparations? Leave a comment below and let’s see if we can’t help each other out with some tips & ideas this year!!!

The new Holiday Mini Catalog will be coming out in September. However, as a demonstrator, I need to order the catalogs a couple months ahead of time to allow for processing and mailing of the catalogs. I need to know…
Do you want to receive a Holiday mini catalog from me?

I will be closing my mailings next week. Email me (j.stark@goeaston.net) and let me know if you would like me to have a catalog sent to you. Then please double check your account! Since we have a brand new system (and also a brand new mailing system for demonstrators), many accounts need updated shipping and mailing addresses.
Please check both boxes for Shipping and Mailing .
Not everyone has two different addresses for mailing & shipping BUT some have a P.O Box for mailing and SU! doesn’t ship to P.O Box addresses.This needs to be updated and both boxes need to be checked.
Please opt In to be contacted by me as your demonstrator.
(This allows me to send you a catalog.)
The new mailing system is not allowing me to mail you a catalog when these boxes are unchecked.

#1 Sign into your Stampin’ Up! account and click on account settings.
#2 Check your address by clicking on left hand side “Addresses ” and check your information. PLUS check boxes for shipping and mailing.
(*Mailing address box is for mailing the catalog.)
#3 Click Demonstrator on the left and when you see my photo click VIEW.
#4 Scroll down and make sure you have opted in for contact.

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Now let’s get to a couple of fun Christmas in July projects!
Festive magic begins with handmade happiness.
