Merry Christmas…More Cards & Gifts!

December 25, 2024December 25, 2024 ~ Jeanie Stark ~ 2 Comments

Merry Christmas!

Today Bo and I are sharing the last few Christmas cards I made this year. Usually I choose one design, create multiple cards, and send everyone the same Christmas card. This year was different!

I always enjoy looking for fun ways to coordinate my cards and packaging with the gifts for a special presentation. A friend of mine claims she is “the Grinch” this year and I couldn’t resist sending her this card & gift set.

I used the “napkin technique” Laura Seki (Southridge Studio) shared to create my “Grinchmas” card. The card is 5 1/2 x 11 scored at 5 1/2 for a square card. The napkin is adhered to a piece of white cardstock using Multipurpose Liquid Glue (or a glue stick). I used the wide end of the liquid glue to add a thin layer of glue on the cardstock (which is cut smaller than the napkin). Lay the napkin on top and add glue around the edges on the back and fold the ends over to secure. Then emboss the napkin to help it adhere. I layered the embossed piece on red cardstock before adhering to the card base. I can’t wait to try this technique again with different napkins and embossing folders!!

One of my favorite products this season has been the Hang An Ornament Dies. I decorated the Scalloped Gift Card Box to hold the Grinch oyster shell ornament I created.

Another gift set I created uses some retired DSP but you could easily create it using what you have. I love it when I can use from my “stash” to find the perfect pattern and/or colors to coordinate with a gift.

This card layout is one of my “go to” designs. It is quick & easy to create with cardstock and patterned paper.

You can change up the sentiment layer with any shape. I often grab the Stitched Shapes Dies (one of my favorites!) or a punch for quick & easy! The nutcracker is fussy cut from a piece of DSP and adhered with Stampin’ Dimensionals. I love how he coordinates with with the cocktail napkins and ornament I made.

I like to recycle gift bags from stores. It is so easy to adhere a Stampin’ Up! clear envelope to the front of the bag and slide the card inside for a pretty presentation. (Great idea for kids birthday parties so the card doesn’t get lost!)

My last card today showcases the beautiful cardinals from one of my favorite bundles, Winterly Tree Tops. (Once again, I grabbed DSP and ribbon from my retired stash.)

Some people believe cardinals appear when angels are near. I made this gift set for a friend who lost a family member recently. The card is a simple fun fold design.

I used Stampin’ Blends to color the cardinals, berries, and branch then cut them out with the coordinating dies. I used another stamp and die from the bundle on the inside of the card.

I hope you enjoyed today’s projects. I love to decoupage shells to create ornaments, trinket dishes, and many other gifts. You can check out some of the different projects I create on my facebook page HERE.

Do you have a favorite project from today? I’d love to hear from you! Leave a comment below.

From my family to yours, may your holidays be filled with peace, love, & laughter.

Happy Birthday Ariane…Birthday Card Showcase

November 27, 2024November 27, 2024 ~ Jeanie Stark ~ 3 Comments

My daughter is home this week for Thanksgiving. Her birthday is in November and we celebrated over the weekend. I like to give “experiences” for birthday gifts. This year I gifted her tickets to see Dancing with the Stars Live. We both really enjoy the show and we were excited to watch the season finale together last night! (I am so thrilled we’ll get to meet Joey and Stephen in New York in January!!!!!!)
www.juststampin.com
I love to create cards to coordinate with the gifts I give. Here’s the star shaped box and Triangle Corner Pop Up Card I made.
Stampin' Up! Triangle Corner Pop Up Birthday Card with Wanted to Say Dies, Birthday Blast Dies, and Bright & Beautiful Designer series Paper-Jeanie Stark StampinUp
I pulled out the retired Birthday Blast Dies along with the Wanted To Say Dies for her birthday card. The star patterned paper is from the current Bright & Beautiful 6×6 Designer Series Paper pack. This card measures 4×4 when it’s closed and opens for a beautiful display. Two mini magnets hide the inside sentiment/message. Here’s a closer look at the card. I used the Silver & White Sheer Ribbon to hold it closed when folded.

I love a versatile stamp set and the Simply Said Stamp Set is just that! It has sentiments for so many different occasions! I stamped “Let’s Celebrate” and cut it out with the Stitched Shapes Dies to provide the “stopper” for the star banner. You can view these items in the product list below. I followed Lisa Curcio’s video on YouTube for how to create this fun fold. You can check out her cards and video HERE.

I created the box using the Gift Bag Builder Punch Board. Stampin’ Up! retired this several years ago but they are still available from We R Memory Keepers. (I love this punch board as well as the Envelope Punch Board!) This box was fun to create and I love the star shape at the top!

I filled it with the tickets as well as some Bath & Body Works “star” hand sanitizer and star chocolates.

You can really see the star shape when you open the box.

Here are some of the past birthday projects I’ve made for my daughter.
(I can’t believe I never posted last year’s fun fold card and Scalloped Gift Card Box! I guess I was busy helping her move to New York and get settled in her new apartment.)
Stampin' Up! Scalloped Gift Card Box and Dainty Flowers Designer Series paper Fun Fold Birthday card idea-Jeanie Stark StampinUp
The “Flying Seagull” fun fold card was inspired by Sue Campfield. The Dainty Flowers Designer Series Paper was one of my favorite Sale-A-Bration freebies! I created a tv “gift card” (using the Nested Essentials Dies) to decorate the insert inside the scalloped gift card box. (She needed a tv for her new apartment and I wanted her to pick out what she wanted.) It’s hard to see the retro “tv knobs” in the photo (created using two circles adhered with Stampin’ Dimensionals) but you get the idea.

This would be so much easier to create now using the Tune In Bundle which Stampin’ Up! came out with this year!

I really love creating special birthday cards to coordinate with gifts.

The 25th Birthday Countdown was one of my favorite birthday projects!!! I had so much fun coming up with gift ideas for each of the “calendar” boxes!!

I hope you enjoyed this birthday parade! Is there any doubt what my daughter’s favorite color is?!! You can certainly see the different shades of purple Stampin’ Up! has had in their color collection. What is your favorite shade of purple? I’d love to hear from you! Leave a comment below.

Here’s a picture of the birthday girl with her cake. (The cake is an eastern shore classic, Smith Island Cake….my favorite!!!!!)
