Crossover Gate Fold Cards with Thoughtful Journey

February 24, 2026March 8, 2026 ~ Jeanie Stark ~ 2 Comments

Did you play along with my Mystery Monday Stampin’? If you followed the clues you would have created a Crossover Gate Fold Card similar to these.
Mystery Solved!
Stampin' Up! Crossover Gate Fold Cards using Thoughtful Journey Designer Series Paper-Jeanie Stark StampinUp
Both of today’s cards are intentional and will be going in the mail this week. I needed a retirement card for our friend and “former” accountant who retired this year. I also needed a thinking of you card for a friend who has been dealing with a lot lately. The Thoughtful Journey Designer Series Paper was a perfect choice with it’s gorgeous watercolor imagery for both masculine and feminine cards.

Let’s take a closer look at each of today’s cards.
Stampin' Up! Sunrise Sailing fun fold retirement card with Thoughtful Journey Designer Series Paper-Jeanie Stark StampinUp
You can see how this card got it’s name with the way the front panels “crossover” and open like a gate.

This card is quick & easy to create and proves you can still create a unique “WOW” card with a clean and simple design. I stamped my sentiment from Sunrise Sailing (Last Chance Product) right on the DSP and added a few die cut seagulls to the front. The DSP shines on it’s own! You have plenty of space for a message on the inside.
Stampin' Up! Notes & Totes fun fold retirement card-Jeanie Stark StampinUp
I added some DSP to the inside panels. These 2 1/2 x 4 pieces are optional and not in the measurements with the supplies. If this was a retirement card from a group you could easily use these side panels for extra signatures. The recipient of this card lives on the water and loves to take his boat out fishing most mornings. I still had some of the retired Gone Fishing DSP which coordinated with the colors so I added it to the sides. The sentiments from Notes & Totes is prefect for this retirement card.

I used the extra DSP from the 6 x6 piece to decorate the envelope flap to coordinate.

My second card shows a feminine version of this fun fold design.
Stampin' Up! Words of Beauty thinking of you card with Thoughtful Journey Designer Series Paper-Jeanie Stark StampinUp
I used the Words of Beauty Bundle to stamp & die cut my sentiment.

Stampin' Up! Words of Beauty thinking of you card with Thoughtful Journey Designer Series Paper & Thoughful Wishes Dies-Jeanie Stark StampinUp
For this card I added smaller pieces of DSP on the back of the panels that you see when the card is open. I also added flowers cut from the retired Thoughtful Wishes Dies. I love this simple sweet card & matching envelope.
