Thoughtful Journey Mini Slimline Birthday Card for Tic Tac Toe #290

April 9, 2026April 9, 2026 ~ Jeanie Stark ~ 3 Comments

Welcome to Tic Tac Toe Thursday! This week’s challenge board was created by my friend, Rosanne. It has some fun elements to pick from. www.tictactoechallenge.com
I used 6 of the elements and created Tic Tac Toe 3 ways: across the top, down the middle, and on the diagonal from top left to bottom right.

I created a mini slimline card for my son’s birthday this week.
Stampin' Up! Wetlands and With You In Mind Birthday slimline card idea-Jeanie Stark StampinUp
If you follow my blog you know I love to create birthday cards to coordinate with the gifts. My son got his present early this year (and with over 30″ of snow he appreciated it!!). This card is a subtle reminder of his “Canada Goose” coat. LOL

I used the retired Wetlands stamp set to stamp the goose on a piece of Thoughtful Journey Designer Series Paper. Then I cut out a circle using the Stylish Shapes Dies. I layered this on another circle cut from the Spotlight on Nature Dies and popped it up on the card the “hole” I cut out) with Stampin’ Dimensionals. This is a quick and easy technique to “spotlight” a focal image.

Card Supplies/Measurements:

Stamp Sets: Wetlands, With You In Mind
Card base (Misty Moonlight): 6 x 7 scored at 3 1/2 (for 3 1/2 x 6 card)
Designer Series Paper (Thoughtful Journey): 5 3/4 x 3 1/4
Basic White: 5 3/4 x 3 1/4 (inside)
Tools/Embellishments: Stylish Shapes Dies, Spotlight on Nature Dies, Adhesive-Backed Dragonflies & Birds

The mini slimline card fits in a standard (3 5/8 x 6 1/2) business envelope.
I stamped the front of the envelope to coordinate.

Did you play along with my Mystery Monday Stampin’? If you followed the clues you would have created a pop-out fun fold card similar to these.
Mystery Solved!
Stampin' Up! Pop-Out fun fold card ideas with Hearts of Elegance and Pretty Florals-Jeanie Stark StampinUp
This is a simple fun fold to create. I’d like to give a shout out to LeeAnn Greff who inspired me to create this fun fold for Mystery Stampin’. You’ll find the PDF at the end of this post but first I thought I’d share the basic measurements I got from LeeAnn.

Measurements:

Card Base– 4 1/4” x 11 ” scored @ 2 3/4, 5 1/2, & 8 1/4
Cardstock for brace –7 1/2 x 1 scored @ 1, 3, & 4 1/2
Designer Series Paper- 4 pieces @ 2 1/2 x 4
Basic White – 2 pieces @ 2 1/2 x 4 (for back)
Scraps for die cuts for focal piece (on brace)

I have a lot of photos to share with you today!
Let’s take a closer look at each of my cards.
Stampin' Up! Pretty Florals pop-out fun fold card for a friend-Jeanie Stark StampinUp
This card features the beautiful Florals in Bloom Designer Series Paper from Stampin’ Up and coordinating Pretty Florals Stamp Set. I don’t know which I love more….the paper, the stamp set, or this cool pop-out fun fold design! Stampin' Up! Pretty Florals pop-out fun fold card for a friend-Jeanie Stark StampinUp
I love how this card pops forward and appears to be floating.
This card can be displayed full view or with the ends tucked back.

Which way do you like it?
Here’s a view of the card showing how it pops!

The message is hidden on the back of the card when it’s folded.

I love two-step stamping! It makes creating these pretty flowers so easy! I stamped the flower details in Pumpkin Pie ink then filled in with Peach Pie. I used the Spotlight on Nature Dies to layer the flower image. I stamped my envelope to coordinate.

For my second card I die cut a heart for my focal piece.
Stampin' Up! Hearts of Elegance pop-out fun fold wedding card idea-Jeanie Stark StampinUp
I used the Hearts of Elegance Dies and the Marbled Elegance Specialty Designer Series Paper. The Hearts of Elegance Stamp Set and Dies are on the last Chance Product List and are on sale for 20% OFF! Hearts can be used all year long for many different cards! This is a great set to add to your collection!
(You can find the complete product list used to create today’s cards below.)

I love the gold foil in the DSP. I decided to highlight the gold by adding a gold banner, gold thread, heart embellishment, and heat embossed the sentiment in gold.

I created this card for a wedding but you could also use it for Valentine’ Day, new baby, anniversary, or just to let someone know you’re thinking of them.
I like it displayed either way! Which do you prefer?

I adhered a gift card on back using a few mini glue dots. You could easily add a pocket if you prefer.

I decided to get fancy with the Fancy Border Dies for my envelope! I added a peek-through effect with the heart pattern and a 3/4″ strip of DSP.

The Fancy Borders Die Set has many different border dies you can use to cut out decorative designs on envelopes, cards, scrapbook pages, and other paper crafting projects.

I didn’t stop there! I had so much fun creating a 3D project to go with my card last week that I decided to do it again. This week I created a slider box to coordinate with this card.
