Let's create a handmade card together- visit www.juststampin.com for clues and all the details-Jeanie Stark Stampin' Up! Demonstrator

Welcome back for another Mystery Monday Stampin’! I am really enjoying this challenge and hope you are too!

I have another cool fun fold card for you to create this week! One of the wonderful things I love about mystery stamping is you use what you have! Are you ready to choose your creative adventure and solve this week’s mystery? Grab your supplies, follow the clues, and see what your finished card looks like at the end — it’s always a fun surprise!

Yesterday I shared your first clue. If you missed that post (with the list of supplies), Click HERE for Clue #1

Now that you have your cardstock, designer series paper, and other supplies, it’s time to create! Simply follow the clues step by step to create a beautiful card. Feel free to add your own twist…there is no right or wrong way to do Mystery Monday Stampin’! Here are the rest of the clues:

CLUE #2
Score 10 3/4” x 5 1/2 ” cardstock along the long side @ 1 5/8, 3 1/4, 7 1/2, 9 1/8. Fold and burnish score lines- fold center score lines towards the center and outer score lines back towards the side. (It will look like a Z fold on each end.)

CLUE #3
Adhere the two designer series paper pieces to the coordinating cardstock layers. Then adhere the 3 x 5 cardstock/DSP layer to the left flap leaving about 1/4 inch on the left side, top, and bottom.

CLUE #4
Adhere the 3 x 4 1/4 cardstock/DSP layer to the right flap (leaving 1/4″ from the right edge) with just a line of glue on the right side so that the cardstock on the left can “tuck” underneath it without gluing your card shut.

CLUE #5
Adhere 2 3/4 x 4 white piece to 3 x 4 1/4 cardstock layer and adhere (centered) inside card. You can stamp sentiment/image or leave blank for handwritten message.

CLUE #6
*The left side panel will tuck under the right panel when the card is closed. You pull from both sides to open the card.

CLUE #7
Create a focal point on the front right side panel: Stamp/die cut/punch image and/or sentiment, color/embellish however you want!

CLUE #8
Does your card need anything else? Embellishments? A sentiment?
Add that now.

CLUE #9
Decorate your envelope (stamp/emboss/add DSP) to coordinate with your card.

Have fun creating! I can’t wait to see what you create! Take a photo of your card and send as an attachment to my email (j.stark@goeaston.net). Feel free to reach out if you need help or have questions.

Check back tomorrow to see my mystery cards revealed.

Have a great day! Thanks for stopping by!

Lighthouse Keepers

July 4, 2025July 4, 2025 ~ Jeanie Stark ~ 17 Comments

Happy Fourth of July!
I am back home after my vacation and thought I would share my latest adventure. I am what you would call a “lighthouse enthusiast” and had to wait 18 months for this vacation experience. (That was the earliest availability when I booked it!!!) Of course, 18 months ago I didn’t know my husband was going to have heart surgery or I was going to have foot surgery (twice) and need another surgery again this summer. That’s life!

Imagine getting to spend a memorable night in ONE of ONLY TWO offshore lighthouse towers in the WORLD available for an overnight experience as honorary Light Keepers! (I was not going to miss out on this!!!)

My daughter and I got to experience the life of the brave lighthouse keepers who lived in and maintained the Borden Flats Light from 1881 through 1963. This experience was truly one for the memory books!!

I have been enthralled with lighthouses since I was little (and watched Pete’s Dragon). I enjoy visiting lighthouses all over the US (and Canada). Spending the night in a lighthouse was a dream come true for me. My daughter enjoys visiting lighthouses too; however, she wasn’t as excited as I was to be “stranded” (off the grid) in Mount Hope Bay. It took some convincing and somehow I forgot about the boarding part… “Please be aware, all Keepers must climb the vertical steel-rung ladder to access the Lighthouse.” Oops! Neither of us anticipated having to climb the steel rungs (during low tide) to board the 143 year old historic landmark. We did it (me with my bandaged foot and all)!

Here are some photos from our adventure…

www.juststampin.com — Our boat ride out to the lighthouse in Mount Hope Bay

www.juststampin.com

“A lighthouse is a welcoming structure, a reassuring sign of steady ground ahead, an optimistic symbol of hope for all looking to move forward safely. It is an emblem of strength located at the edge of unpredictable seas as it provides guidance and light among the darkest of nights. Resilient and immovable, this shining beacon encourages perseverance even in the most treacherous of storms.” -Anonymous

Do you enjoy lighthouses? Stampin’ Up! used to have some lighthouse stamp sets over the years which are now retired. I still have two “lighthouse keepers” that I bought, High Tide and Sailing Home.
Here are some cards I created with these stamp sets. I hope they inspire you!
