Fun Fold Swap Card from Cindy T.

July 20, 2017July 20, 2017 ~ Jeanie Stark ~ 7 Comments

I’m excited to share another beautiful card from my Fun Fold Card Swap! You are in for a treat as I share each of these cool fun folds. The collection of cards I’ll be sharing might not have current Stampin’ Up! products, but every card gives good ideas for color combinations, layouts, and techniques. Let the inspiration continue…

Stampin Up Fun Fold Birthday Card showcasing Party Animal Designer Series Paper. For more fun fold cards and inspiration visit www.juststampin.com — Card Created by Cindy Thompson

This fun fold by Cindy is a great way to showcase your favorite designer series paper. This is such a fun gender neutral birthday card!

Cindy kept her card clean and simple and let the Designer Series Paper shine! She chose the balloon colors from the DSP and popped them up with Stampin’ Dimensionals for added interest. I love the way she added the birthday banner on the bottom of the front panel. This is a quick & easy fun fold card that’s sure to bring a smile to the face of the lucky recipient.

I wish I took a photo from above so you could see the M fold. You can click HERE to see one I shared previously and find the directions to make it.

Please leave a comment below to let Cindy know how much you love her fun fold creation (especially if you are the lucky person who received this in the swap). Thanks again to everyone who participated! It was so much fun getting “Happy Mail”! I plan to showcase all of the cards while I am away on vacation so you will continue to be inspired!

Have a wonderful day!

N is for Never Ending Card

May 28, 2017July 23, 2017 ~ Jeanie Stark ~ 10 Comments

Welcome to my ABC’s with Fun Folds series. Today’s fun fold card is never ending! This is my first never ending card and I can’t stop playing with it! I always thought it looked way too complicated; however, after watching a video on Splitcoast Stampers, I realized it’s not as difficult as it looks. Here’s my card showing the 4 different views… you keep opening the folds until you are back at the beginning…hence, never ending! So much fun!!!

Stampin Up Never Ending Fun Fold Card using Number of Years Stamp Set, Large Number Thinlits Dies, and Party Animal Designer Series Paper. For more Fun Fold Cards, directions, and to order supplies, visit my website www.juststampin.com.

You can see that the top and bottom sections in View 3 also appear in View 4 (below).

I left space to write a message and sign the card. Here’s a look at how each part opens to the next.

I love fun folds and this one is the coolest one ever! I can’t wait to make many more!

Check out this video from Splitcoast Stampers to see how easy it really is to put this card together.

Here are the measurements I used on my card:

(4) 3 x 6 Pacific Point for the card base

(4) 2 3/4 squares Whisper White

(4) 2 3/4 squares DSP

(8) 2 3/4 x 1 1/4 DSP

(8) 1 1/4 squares DSP

The finished card measures 6 x 6. I used the envelope punch board to make a custom envelope with a 9 1/2 x 9 1/2 piece of DSP from Party Animal Designer Series Paper.

Stamp Sets: Number of Years, Party with Cake (retiring), Happy Birthday Gorgeous (available June 1) Ink: Pacific Point Papers: Pacific Point, Whisper White, Tangerine Tango, Party Animal Designer Series Paper (retiring) Tools & Accessories: Large Numbers Framelits, Envelope Punch Board

More Birthday Fun!

March 26, 2017 ~ Jeanie Stark ~ 9 Comments

I absolutely LOVED reading the comments the other day with stories of your birthday memories. Thank you so much for sharing!!! It just reaffirms my feelings on “gifts”…it’s not what you get, it’s who you spend your time with! My husband and I like to give our children a “birthday experience” each year. Fads come and go but memories last a lifetime! And when you give an experience, everyone enjoys the gift! Many family vacations have been someone’s “gift”.

Speaking of gifts…Sharing handmade kindness is a gift from the heart! When someone takes the time to write a note inside a card and/or make a card, it is a “gift” in and of itself! I treasure the handwritten notes and cards from my kids over the years as well as those I’ve received from friends and family. I bet you do too!

The other day I shared some of the beautiful birthday cards I received. You can see that post HERE. Yesterday my blog was “hacked” by my daughter. If you missed her post and the card she made for me, click HERE. Today I have a few more cards to share with you from some of my very talented stamping friends…

Nancy heat embossed this card and even punched the envelope flap. I love the extra protective piece she added to protect the card. How clever!

Chris R.’s card is striking in black and pink with washi tape!

Chris did something I have never done before and I love it! She stamped the inside on DSP. I love her envelope too!

Ramsey added sparkle inside and out!

Ramsey knows I love adventures! It just so happens I am going on one today with my friend and upline, Susan Itell. We are taking a road trip and will be joining our friend, Roseanne, for an afternoon crafting adventure somewhere in Delaware.

It’s time to announce the winner of the birthday blog candy…Linda Schilling!

random birthday winner

How funny that she was # 13…here’s her comment:

Sounds like you did have a happy birthday I “held my breath” all day when I turned 13 on Friday the thirteenth – but nothing bad happened. Best birthdays are shared with family doing nothing really special except being together. Having grandkids makes it even sweeter

Linda, it looks like #13 is pretty lucky! Please email me (j.stark@myactv.net) your address and I will send my birthday party favors to you.

Have a wonderful day!
