Sending a Little Love

August 26, 2017 ~ Jeanie Stark ~ 2 Comments

Yesterday I shared a treat box I made for my daughter using the Popcorn Thinlits Dies. You can see that post HERE. I made this quick & easy 3 x 3 note card to go with it.

I used the same print from the Naturally Eclectic Designer Series Paper pack for my card. The DSP is a 2 1/2″ square and the Lemon Lime Twist layer is just 1/8″ larger. The card base is Soft Sky cut at 3 x 6 and scored at 3″. The “love” die is from the Sunshine Wishes Thinlits. I cut it out with fun foam and Silver Glimmer Paper and adhered the two together with Multipurpose Liquid Glue to make it pop. (My daughter loves the glimmer paper!)

I stamped the inside sentiment from the Ribbon of Courage Stamp Set in Night of Navy ink. I love the fonts and sentiments included in this set! (You can click on the highlighted stamp name above to view the stamp set.)

Did you notice the envelope in the photo? I love to decorate my envelopes to match! A little DSP on the flap does the trick!

I have great news… Stampin’ Up! brought back the mini envelopes for the 3 x 3 note cards! I like to enclose these in gifts I give. They are also great for little inspirational notes or quotes to have on hand and give to people that might need a little pick me up. These Whisper White 3 x 3 envelopes will be available in the new catalog starting Friday, Sept. 1. If you shopped with me in the last 6 months you should be receiving your catalog this week (if you haven’t received it already). Enjoy browsing and get ready to play along with some fun interaction on my blog next week! Here’s a look at the card and treat box.

Eclectic Layers for Tic Tac Toe Challenge #7

Stampin Up all occasion card with Daisy Punch and Eclectic Layers Thinlits Dies. For more card inspiration visit www.juststampin.com #tictactoechallenge007

July 21, 2017August 2, 2017 ~ Jeanie Stark ~ 14 Comments

It is obvious I am on vacation time…I didn’t even realize yesterday was Thursday which meant another Tic Tac Toe Challenge. This week’s challenge board was designed by Teresa DeWitt-Pierce. Be sure to check out her card (using all 9 elements!) and others at http://www.tictactoechallenge.com. Here’s this week’s challenge board.

I chose the far right row going down: diecut, floral, yellow. How easy is that?!

I could have used any flower (and so can you when you create your card for this week’s challenge) but I just had to go with my favorite daisy. This week’s challenge is a breeze and I really hope you will play along. I think doing the tic tac toe challenge helps you to be more creative because you try different combinations that you might not have thought of otherwise. And if you are not feeling very creative, just pick 3 and you’ve got what you need to create! It’s fun to see what evolves.

I started with the Eclectic Layers Thinlits Dies because I just got them and couldn’t wait to play! These dies are so versatile and unique…some of the dies emboss! Check out this video to see some of the different possibilities.

Here’s the details for my card this week..

My card base is Basic Black (5 1/2 x 8 1/2 scored at 4 1/4). The Whisper White layer (3 1/2 x 4 3/4) is cut with the Eclectic Layers Thinlits and wrapped with a piece of Basic Black 3/8″ Shimmer Ribbon. I added a piece of Color Theory Designer Series Paper (2 1/4 x 4 1/2) behind the die and adhered is to a piece of Crushed Curry (3 3/4 x 5). The sentiment is from Ribbon of Courage and stamped in Basic Black ink. I stamped and punched two daisies (Crushed Curry) and glued them together before adhering to the card with a Stampin’ Dimensional. I added a Gold Faceted Gem in the center. The Crushed Curry layer is popped up with Stampin’ Dimensionals. This card is quick & easy to create! I love the sentiment as it could be used for a birthday, get well, or sympathy card. Here’s a close up showing the Shimmer Ribbon and ombre DSP.

I used the same Color Theory DSP on the coordinating envelope.

I first made it with just a punched daisy then tried it with the stamped version. I liked both and was not sure which one to showcase. Which do you prefer…plain or stamped? Leave me a comment as to which one I should post on the tic tac toe challenge.

Stamp Sets: Ribbon of Courage, Daisy Delight Inks: Basic Black, Crushed Curry Papers: Basic Black, Crushed Curry, Whisper White, Color Theory Designer Series Paper Stack Tools & Accessories: Eclectic Layers Thinlits Dies, Daisy Punch, Black Shimmer Ribbon, Gold Faceted Gems, Stampin’ Dimensionals

M is for a Fun Fold

May 27, 2017July 16, 2017 ~ Jeanie Stark ~ 13 Comments

Welcome to my ABC’s with Fun Folds series. Today’s fun fold makes the letter M.

BJ Peters shared this fun fold from Stampin’ Up!’s OnStage Convention and when you look at it from above it looks like the letter M.

OK so perhaps I am stretching it a little. Remember the book It Looked Like Spilt Milk? I was the kid who looked at the clouds for hours imagining different animals, letters, etc. in the shape of the clouds.

This is a quick and easy card to put together. The card base is 5 1/2 x 11 scored at 1 1/4, 4, and 6 3/4. I used several patterns of DSP from the new 2017 – 2019 In Color Designer Series Paper Stack. Cut (2) 1 x 5 1/4 for the front fold, then cut 1 at 2 1/2 x 5 1/4 and 4 x 5 1/4. Adhere these to the card. Cut a piece of 2 1/2 x 5 1/4 Whisper White to stamp a sentiment. My sentiment is from a new stamp set, Ribbon of Courage (available June 1). I love the sentiments in this set! I used the Detailed Dragonfly Thinlits to cut the dragonflies out of black cardstock. I love the contrast of black with the new In Color, Lemon Lime Twist.

Here’s a photo showing the different patterns of DSP..

This card was so quick & easy I decided to make another one using the Moroccan Designer Series Paper.

This one has a completely different look just by changing the DSP and making it horizontal rather than vertical. I think this one has a more masculine feel to it. The Moroccan Designer Series Paper I used on this one is retiring and is only available while supplies last. You can get it at a 30% savings by shopping my online store and checking out the retiring list.

Have a Marvelous Day!
