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

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.

Corner Flip Pop Up Cards with Cutest Crew and Painted Illusions

Did you play along with my Mystery Monday Stampin’? If you followed the clues you would have created a Corner Flip Pop up Card similar to these.
Mystery Solved!
Stampin' Up! Cutest Crew and Painted Illusions pop up fun fold card ideas-Jeanie Stark StampinUp
This is such a versatile fun fold card idea! I was inspired by Lisa Curcio. You can make these cards horizontal or vertical! FYI…They are addicting!!!  I created 3 cards to share with you today and each one opens a little different. All three cards showcase the Painted Illusions 12 x 12 Designer Series Paper (from the February Product of the Month) and the Cutest Crew Bundle! This bundle has been so popular it keeps selling out! It was back in stock last week and already sold out again!!! If you don’t have this yet, click on the product link at the end to be notified when it’s back in stock.

Let’s take a closer look at each of today’s cards.
Stampin' Up! Cutest Crew and Painted Illusions pop up fun fold card idea-Jeanie Stark StampinUp
This card features the little birds and is a great all occasion card. I used the Forever Florals Dies to cut the label for my focal point. I used a blending brush to add some granny apple green “grass” along the bottom. The birds are colored with Stampin’ Blends to coordinate with the DSP. I highlighted HELLO to bring a little more color to tie it all together.

Here’s a look at the inside when you open the card.
Stampin' Up! Cutest Crew and Painted Illusions pop up fun fold card idea-Jeanie Stark StampinUp
I used the Textured Notes Dies to cut the sentiment layer for the inside as it was the perfect size! These dies are on the LAST CHANCE product list and are a “must have” in my opinion (Reg. $31. SALE $24.80 AWSL).
Stampin' Up! Textured Notes Dies-visit juststampin.com for inspiration, ordering information, and more-Jeanie Stark StampinUp
Create bordered note cards with the Textured Notes Dies! This set includes a variety of rectangles in different sizes, each with a gorgeously unique die-cut border design. Use to decorate card fronts or create tags or photo backgrounds for scrapbook spreads.

My second card shows the versatility of this fun fold design and stamp set.
Stampin' Up! Cutest Crew and Painted Illusions pop up fun fold pet sympathy card idea-Jeanie Stark StampinUp
I created this card for my daughter. She recently lost her sweet kitty that she rescued 16 years ago. It has been her faithful friend and companion (especially during Covid when she moved to a new state for graduate school and everything was remote). Storm, aptly named after being rescued from a storm drain, lived on her lap while she did homework and often “helped” type. LOL
Here are a few photos of her beloved cat.

The sentiment on the front of her card is from a retired set, Quiet Reflections. I used a different label die from the Forever Florals Dies on this card. The cat is one of the dies from Cutest Crew. I love that you can choose to stamp the  pets or just cut images with the dies.

Here’s a look at the inside of her card. *This card opens from the opposite side of my first card. (There’s no mistakes in stamping!!)
Stampin' Up! Cutest Crew and Painted Illusions pop up fun fold pet sympathy card idea-Jeanie Stark StampinUp
I used the Textured Notes dies again as well as another one of the cat dies from Cutest Crew.

I love this sentiment from Quiet Reflections (retired). So true!!!

My third card for today is a horizontal card. Same fold just turned sideways.
Stampin' Up! Cutest Crew and Painted Illusions pop up fun fold thank you card idea-Jeanie Stark StampinUp
This card features the adorable dogs and pawprints from Cutest Crew. The sentiment is from the stamp set, With You In Mind. It is cut with a stitched square from the Stylish Shapes Dies.Stampin' Up! Cutest Crew and Painted Illusions pop up fun fold thank you card idea-Jeanie Stark StampinUp
I had so much fun coloring these pups with my Stampin’ Blends! When you open the card you see the rest of the crew.
Stampin' Up! Cutest Crew and Painted Illusions pop up fun fold thank you card idea-Jeanie Stark StampinUp
I wanted more space on the inside for a handwritten message so I went “rogue” and added a larger piece of cardstock instead of the measurements in the mystery stamping clues. I love the versatility of this fun fold!!!

I coordinated my envelopes for all 3 cards.
