I had so much fun playing with colors this weekend. I created several cards.

I love black & white with a pop of color! As I was looking back at some of the cards I’ve created over the past 10 years, this one caught my eye.
Stampin' Up! Hello card for any occasion - Jeanie Stark StampinUp
I created this card back in 2016. (Notice there’s no watermark on my card. I had just started blogging at the time and had no idea what I was doing! LOL) This card was one from my first ABC Series, The ABC’s of Stampin’. If you are new to stamping, this is a great series to browse through.  There are lots of tips and short videos explaining (almost) everything you need to know about the basics of stamping, Stampin’ Up! products and how to use them. Just click on the categories bar and select ABC’s of Stampin’.  Unfortunately it will start backwards with the last entry. If you want to start at the beginning, Click HERE or go to the Archives and start at September 2016. It starts September 5th with “A is for Adhesives“. (*If you want my favorite adhesives, see the special offer below for my Adhesive Tote.)

I always need birthday cards and I bet you do too! This one has a cool gift card holder too!
Stampin' Up! Irresistible Blooms, Peaceful Moments, and Perfectly Penciled embossed birthday card and gift card holder-Jeanie Stark StampinUp
This is a fun card that you could use for many different occasions…just change the sentiment inside for Mother’s Day, Anniversary, Graduation, etc. I got the inspiration for the gift card holder from my super talented friend and team member, Rosanne Mulhern. You can check out her Easter card HERE.

I changed up the measurements a bit because I was thinking I wanted my card to be horizontal. I made these cards both ways. Which way do you like better?

I heat embossed the flower from the Irresistible Blooms stamp set with White Embossing Powder on Shimmery White cardstock. It is so easy to watercolor when you heat emboss first!!! The ink doesn’t stick to the embossing and stays inside the lines. Makes me feel like an artist and I love the look you get!

I used Polished Pink, Fresh Freesia, Pale Papaya, and Pool Party ink/cardstock/ribbon. Do you have a favorite? Here’s a closer look at each one.

I used two different stamp sets for the inside of the cards. I like both sentiments and they have different fonts (which I love).

Painted Poppies (Not So) Impossible Card

Stampin' Up! Painted Poppies fun fold card for a friend - visit juststampin.com for all the details. Jeanie Stark StampinUp
Jeanie Stark juststampin.com

I love to make fun fold cards and this one looks more complicated than it is. These pretty poppies make a sweet card for a friend.

Materials & Measurements 

  • Old Olive Cardstock:  4 1/4″ x 5 1/2″ for base, 1″ x 4 1/4″ for sentiment layer
  • Basic White Cardstock: 3/4″ x 4″ to stamp sentiment, 2″ x 3  1/2″ to stamp poppies and cut with Stitched Rectangle Dies
  • Ribbon: ~10″ to wrap and tie knot

I stamped the Poppies in Black Memento Ink and colored with Old Olive and Poppy Parade Stampin’ Blends. The sentiment from Peaceful Moments is stamped in Old Olive Ink. I still love this polka dot tulle ribbon even though it is retired. You can view the list of products used below.

Flowering Tulips Fun Fold & More!

I love May with everything starting to bloom and the possibilities that come with spring. (*Check out the Stamp-n-Storage Spring Sale below!) We moved in to our new home last summer so I missed all the spring blooms. It’s a surprise every day to see what’s popping up in our yard.

My friend Caroline loves to garden. She always has a beautiful flower garden. I made this fun fold tulip card for her birthday.
Stampin' Up! Flowering Tulips fun fold birthday card idea - Jeanie Stark StampinUp
I was inspired to try this fold from a beautiful Christmas card created by Jan B. She called this unique fold a “floating screen card”.
Stampin' Up! Flowering Tulips fun fold birthday card idea - Jeanie Stark StampinUp
I love the Tulips Dies! They are a must have for any floral enthusiast. Not only can you create layered tulip fields, but you can also create three types of layered tulip blossoms, perfect for creating your own tulip bouquet! Simply die cut the coordinating dies with contrasting cardstock colors, and then fold the pieces together to make beautiful tulip blossoms. These dies are sized perfectly for the front of a card. You can purchase them on their own or buy the bundle and save 10%.

I cut the tulip dies in poppy parade and calypso coral and sponged the ends with poppy parade. The leaves were cut with Old Olive and sponged with Old Olive. I love the way this  adds texture and depth. I built the tulip on a white panel cut with the Tasteful labels dies.
Stampin' Up! Flowering Tulips and Tasteful labels dies - jeanie Stark StampinUp
This fun fold is much easier to create than it looks!  There’s several layers to this card but it’s just simple cuts. Here’s the measurements:

  • Poppy Parade cardstock – 5 3/4 x 11 score at 2, 4, 4 1/2, 6 1/2, 7, 9
  • Poppy Parade cardstock – 8 1/4 x 3 3/4 score and fold at 4 1/8
  • Pool Party cardstock – 8 pieces @ 5 5/8 x 1 7/8, 2 pieces @ 4 x 3 5/8, 3 5/8 x 1 7/8
  • Flowering Fields DSP Design 1 (tulips) – 4 pieces @ 5 1/2 x 1 3/4, 3 7/8 x 3 1/2, 3 1/2 x 1 3/4
  • Flowering Fields DSP Design 2 (polka dots) – 4 pieces @ 5 1/2 x 1 3/4
  • Basic White – 3 x 4 to cut Tasteful Labels Die, 3 7/8 x 3 1/2 (inside)
  • Poppy Parade, Calypso Coral, Old Olive cardstock- scraps to die cut tulip & leaves

Cut pieces out from the top and bottom of the card base. Line up cardstock @ 4″ then cut from edge to 1 inch. Line up at 7″ and cut to 1 inch. Then cut between the 2 cuts. Do this at the top and bottom.

The rest is simple…Layer all the cardstock and DSP pieces together and adhere to the card base on front and back.
Stampin' Up! Flowering Fields fun fold birthday card idea - Jeanie Stark StampinUp
Stamp sentiment inside card. Adhere the center piece so it is “floating” on the panel.

I added some pool party sheer ribbon around the card and tied a bow to keep it closed. This card fits in a 6 x 6 envelope to mail.
