Let’s take a closer look at each of today’s cards.
Stampin Up! Sweet Bugs fun fold card for a friend-Jeanie Stark StampinUp
I love that this Stampin’ Up! DSP has a “cut-apart sheet” that you can use to create a quick & easy card front. I also added an embossed strip (All In A Row Embossing Folder) on the side to coordinate with the embossed panel I used on the inside.

I used several different stamp sets for the sentiments on this card: Sweet Bugs (on front of the card), Paper Tags (die cut with circle from Stitched Shapes Dies), and Beautiful Butterflies (inside panel). I love to mix and match sentiments to make each card personal!

I started with a 6×6 piece of DSP for the inside. Then I cut it to 4×6 and scored @ 1 1/2, 3, 4 1/2 (according to the clues). I used the 2 x 6 piece that was left to decorate the envelope flap to coordinate.

It’s hard to see in the photo but I added a bee embellishment on the leaf by the sentiment.

For my second card I was inspired by a card design (From page 26 of the Spring Mini Catalog) for the front of my card..

Here’s my version of this card.

Anyone else start singing “Dance to the Music” (by Sly and the Family Stone) when you saw these dancing bugs? LOL

Who knew these bugs could make an adorable wedding card?!!!
Stampin Up! Sweet Bugs fun fold congratulation card with Wonderful THoughts and With You in Mind Stamp sets-Jeanie Stark
The sentiments used for this card are from Wonderful Thoughts and With You In Mind stamp sets. *You can view/shop the products used to create today’s cards below.

I added a 1/2″ strip of DSP across the front of my envelope to coordinate.

12 Days of Christmas Day 9…Peaceful Garden Card & Treat Bag

December 9, 2025December 9, 2025 ~ Jeanie Stark ~ Leave a comment

visit juststampin.com for craft projects delivered to your door-Jeanie Stark Independent Stampin' Up! demonstrator
Welcome to Day 9 of my 12 Days of Christmas! I am so excited to bring you 12 days of fun Christmas projects that will hopefully inspire you! Today I have a card and 3D Project for you.
Stampin' Up! Peaceful Garden Christmas Card idea and Treat Holder-Jeanie Stark StampinUp
Both of today’s projects use the beautiful Peaceful Garden Designer Series Paper.
Stampin' Up! Peaceful Garden Designer Series Paper-visit juststampin.com for handmade inspiration, ordering information, and more-Jeanie Stark StampinUp
Create handcrafted cards and more in soft colors and serene designs. The Peaceful Garden 12″ x 12″ Designer Series Paper has dove and greenery images on one side of the paper with complementary tone-on-tone washes on the other. It’s perfect for holiday crafting or for crafting projects all year long. I have used this DSP for so many different cards!
Today’s card is one of my “go to” designs that works for any occasion!
Stampin' Up! Peaceful Garden Christmas card idea with Peace on Earth Stamp set-Jeanie Stark StampinUp
The dove was cut from the DSP using the Stylish Shapes Dies then layered on Peaceful Garden Glimmer Paper punched with the 1 7/8 Circle Punch. I like the way the Misty Moonlight & Silver Edged Ribbon ties in nicely with the Glimmer Paper.

If you ordered my 12 Days of Christmas Kit to Go you received everything you need to craft along with me. Here’s a look at what was included in the kit. Stampin' Up! Peaceful Garden Christmas card kit-Jeanie Stark StampinUp
I love to coordinate cards and gifts. This treat bag with the doves DSP seemed perfect for some delicious Dove Chocolates. Of course you can put many other things in here as well.
Stampin' Up! Peaceful Garden Treat Holder with Encircled with Love Stamp set-Jeanie Stark StampinUp
I used the Encircled with Love stamp set and the 1 3/4 Circle Punch for the sentiment and layered it with the same Peaceful Garden Glimmer Paper as the card.

Charming Day Thank You for Tic Tac Toe Challenge #281

October 9, 2025December 31, 2025 ~ Jeanie Stark ~ 3 Comments

It’s Thursday! That means it’s time for another Tic Tac Toe Challenge!
Here’s this week’s inspiration board.
www.tictactoechallenge.com
I love getting inspiration from the Tic Tac Toe Challenge and seeing what I can create! I used 6 elements from the board this week and created Tic Tac Toe going across the middle, across the bottom, and down the middle. Here’s my card:

Stampin' Up! Charming Day Thank You Fun Fold Card idea with Branching Out Dies and Floral Charm Designer Series Paper-Jeanie Stark StampinUp
I love fun fold cards and this one is super easy and full of surprises! This Double Flap card opens up twice!

I embossed the bottom section of the card using the Pressed Flowers Embossing Folder. There is still plenty of room to add a personal message.

This card features the Charming Day Stamp Set and Floral Charm Designer Series Paper.
