Mystery Solved! Double Diamond Gate Fold Cards with Free PDF

~ Jeanie Stark ~ 4 Comments

Did you play along with my Mystery Monday Stampin’? If you followed the clues you would have created a Double Diamond Gate Fold card similar to these.
Mystery Solved!
Stampin' Up! Double Diamond Gatefold Card ideas with Floral Impressions, Painterly Pears, and Modern Christmas-Jeanie Stark StampinUp
I need to warn you…This fun fold is addicting!!!! I couldn’t stop making them! This card looks like it would be hard but it is actually quick & easy to create! The hardest part was deciding which (of the 7 cards I created) to share with you today! LOL I decided to choose 3 as each of these is a little different. (To be honest, one really can’t be called a “double diamond” as I went totally rogue!) *Remember- there’s no right or wrong way to do mystery stampin’!!!
Here’s a closer look at each of today’s cards.
Stampin' Up! Double Diamond Gatefold Thank you card idea with Impressions Abloom Stamp set & Floral Impressions Designer Series Paper-Jeanie Stark StampinUp
Let’s start with the Floral Impressions card. I stayed true to the mystery stamping clues for this card and created a special thank you card. I love how this fun fold card showcases both sides of the patterned paper and stands nicely for display!

I have been blessed with great friends and family who have helped me immensely through my latest surgery (and two previous). Your prayers are appreciated that this one does the trick. It’s a long healing process and I am hoping that I get good news when I visit the doctor today!

I like that this card allows you to add several sentiments and still have room for a personal message. You could easily replace one of the “white” diamonds with DSP or a stamped image/die cut if you didn’t want another sentiment. I did lots of fussy cutting on my card. When I was little I loved paper dolls and I find fussy cutting very relaxing. (And I’ve had lots of time laying around lately to fussy cut! LOL) I used leftover pieces of DSP to cut the flowers. I added a few Charming Shimmer Faceted Dots and this card was done!

My second card features the Painterly Pears Suite Collection! Stampin' Up! Double Diamond Gatefold card with Perfectly Pears Bundle & Painterly Pears Designer Series Paper-Jeanie Stark StampinUp
The Painterly Pears Suite is another favorite suite of mine! I plan to use this collection for my Thanksgiving cards this year. I Love the sentiments in the stamp set and especially love how the dies cut out some images from the gorgeous DSP!  The only fussy cutting I did on this card was the one pink pear which I adhered on top to bring more color to my focal image.

I used the Stylish Shapes Dies to cut the DSP in a diamond shape for my layers. I didn’t even need to add the white layer on the inside of my card. The DSP did all the work for me for this card!

My third card today is a classic example of how most cards evolve as I create. More often than not I don’t end up with what I first envisioned. Does that happen to you too?
Stampin' Up! Peace on Earth & Modern Christmas Gate Fold card-Jeanie Stark StampinUp
Instead of diamond layers I ending up punching circles. I tried the diamonds but it hid the trees in the middle section which I wanted to see. Also, the 3 trees I cut from the DSP just looked lost. I added some gold trim between the circles for a bit more glam! I used the Peace on Earth Stamp Set for my sentiments. I heat embossed one in gold and stamped the other in black.

I like how it turned out with the circles and plan to experiment with some shaped dies as well.  This really is a FUN fun fold card!

Twist & Close Gift Box with Painterly Pears

~ Jeanie Stark ~ 3 Comments

I absolutely love making boxes (and 3D items) to give as gifts.  It’s been awhile since I’ve shared these. (I seem to be on a fun fold card kick lately!) Yesterday I revealed my Mystery Monday cards and while making the Perfectly Pears card it gave me an idea and as usual one thing led to another. I left you with a teaser yesterday showing the box I made. Today I will reveal what’s inside the box plus how to create it. It’s really quick & easy! (I don’t do complicated!!!)

Did you guess what was in the box? Chris came very close in her comment as she thought it could be a pear “scented” candle. It is actually a pear “shaped” (unscented) candle!

I bought several of these pear candles (in different colors) to have on hand for hostess gifts, a little something for a friend’s birthday, etc. I love them and have a few throughout my home as decor pieces. How perfect are they to gift with this DSP?!!! The Painterly Pears Designer Series Paper is my favorite from the New Online Exclusives released this month! The paper reminds me of the delicious pears from Harry & David!

I love it when I can make a card and gift to coordinate!

If you missed yesterday’s post with the details to make the card, CLICK HERE.

When I was young I loved Highlights Magazine. One of my favorite things was the page where you had to “Spot the Difference”. How good are your observation skills? Did you spot the difference in the photos of the box?

That was the “great debate” yesterday… I made a couple of samples and asked my daughter, my sister, and a friend which one they liked better. One person liked one version, one the other version, and one liked both versions. LOL And I go back and forth! I like the clean & simple version with just the single pear; however, I also like how the other version matches the card design with the same 3 pears. How about you? Which one do you prefer?
Leave a comment below!

Both versions open and close the same way. Here’s a photo looking at the top of the box. Such a cool design!

And here’s a look inside when you open it.

Of course I had to make more than one of these boxes. Here’s another version.

For this version I used Mossy Meadow cardstock for the box. Then I die cut the pear shape from Basic White cardstock and used my blending brushes to add color to match the pear candle and DSP. There are so many different ways to add color and I usually opt for Stampin’ Blend Markers; however, I thought the blending brushes gave a softer look for this project. What do you think?

Here’s a look at both boxes. Which one do you like better?

You can make these boxes in 10-15 minutes! Seriously! It is that easy! I can think of many different things that will fit in this box. I’m going to get a head start on the holiday season and make more of these!  I followed Sam Donalds’s version except I added another layer to my strips to coordinate with my card! I have been following “Pootles” since I first started stamping. I love listening to her accent as well as how she makes what looks complicated so easy! The link to her blog post/video is below where she creates a beautiful birthday version using the Wildflower Birthday Specialty Designer Series Paper. This paper is great for birthdays, weddings, baby, etc. (I LOVE both of her boxes!!!!)
