Z Fold Gatefold Cards with Kintsugi Inspirations & Painterly Pears…Free PDF

~ Jeanie Stark ~ 1 Comment

Did you play along with my Mystery Monday Stampin’? If you followed the clues you would have created a Z Fold Gatefold Card similar to these.
Mystery Solved!
Stampin' Up! fun fold cards with Zintsugi Inspiration and Painterly Pears-Jeanie Stark StampinUp
This simple fun fold created from Designer Series Paper is one of my new favorites! It takes just minutes to create a WOW card! This card starts out like a Z fold card then the inside folds in like a gatefold card. Here’s a closer look at each of today’s cards.

I love the color combination on this card! Misty Moonlight, Cloud Cover, Gold and Very Vanilla look so elegant together! The colors are from the Kintsugi Inspirations Specialty Designer Series Paper. It is such a unique paper pack!

Inspired by the art of Kintsugi, you can use the gold foil fractured designs as backgrounds to tags and scrapbook pages. Or pair the airy blossom patterns and precut ceramic shapes for card focal points.

The vase on the front of my card is cut from the DSP. I did a little “surgery” on the vase using the hobby blade with my Take Your Pick Tool. I cut a small slit so I could insert the flowers in the vase. I cut the flowers from the Beautiful Motifs Dies.

Inside my card I used the Textured Notes Dies to cut the sentiment layer. I like the extra little texture around the border. The sentiment is from the Memorable Blooms Stamp Set (Last Chance Product).

I added the gold bird to cover the extra ink I got on my card. Oops! Sometimes a fix ends up adding great unintentional elements to the card! I like the way it ties in the gold.

I used the leftover strip of DSP to embellish my envelope to coordinate.

My first card was folded so the subtle pattern was front and center. I folded my second card to showcase the busier pattern in the middle with the subtle pattern on each side.

The Painterly Pears Designer Series Paper has been my go to for my Thanksgiving cards this year! The patterns are just gorgeous and remind me of those delicious pears from Harry & David!

Stampin' Up! Painterly Pears 12 x 12 Designer Series Paper-visit juststampin.com to preorder your product share-Jeanie stark StampinUp

With a delightful array of pear-inspired patterns, including beautiful pears intertwined with coordinating blossoms, florals, and delicate leaves, all rendered in a soft, vintage-inspired color palette, you can create pear-fectly charming cards, tags, scrapbooking pages, and other paper crafts with this exquisite paper pack.

I didn’t want to cover the beautiful pears on the front of my card so I chose to use the Thoughtful Moments Hybrid Embossing Folder. Our hybrid embossing folders create ornate die-cut pieces with rich texture in one simple pass through the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine. The dies fit inside special ridges in the embossing folder for easy, one-step cutouts with dimension. Use the dies and embossing folder together or separately for a variety of looks and styles.

Cut out all kinds of caring phrases and decorative elements with the Thoughtful Moments Hybrid Embossing Folder. Each sentiment can be used on cards, gift tags, and other paper crafts. Whether you want to wish someone well, send some love, or show your support, the sentiments in this hybrid embossing folder will help you connect with each of your recipients.

I cut the sentiment from Basic Beige cardstock then used a Blending Brush to add Mossy Meadow Ink over it to highlight the words. I added some die cut leaves from the Perfectly Pears Dies and ribbon to create my focal point.

Thankful Garden Fun Fold Birthday Card for Tic Tac Toe Challenge #278

~ Jeanie Stark ~ Leave a comment

I love to make fun fold cards and the gate fold card is one of the easiest to create with just two score lines.
Stampin' Up! Thankful Garden fun fold birthday card idea-visit juststampin.com for more details-Jeanie Stark StampinUp
The inspiration for today’s card came from this week’s Tic Tac Toe Challenge board.
www.tictactoechallenge.com
I chose to go across the top row: Stencil, Birthday, Die Cut.

I haven’t used my stencils in awhile and I’ve been wanting to create with this hydrangea. I could not believe how simple it was to color this gorgeous flower using the Thankful Garden Decorative Masks! These masks are meant to be layered, meaning you can build beautiful bouquets with lots of varying texture and detail. I used my blending brushes to add layers of color for a quick & easy WOW! The masks are available separately or included with the Thankful Garden Bundle (*Save 10% when you purchase the bundle!)
Stampin' Up! Thankful Garden Bundle-visit juststampin.com for handmade inspiration, ordering information, and more-Jeanie Stark StampinUp
With the Thankful Garden Bundle, your paper crafts will always be in bloom! Die cut the large flower stamps to give your card a bright center piece or pair some greenery with smaller die cut flowers to create an eye-catching gift tag. Use the decorative masks to add texture paste for dimension or blend soft colors for extra depth. This bundle is perfect for expressing love and gratitude in a truly artistic way.

This bundle coordinates with one of my favorite designer series paper pack, Lovely Garden.

Stampin' Up! Lovely Garden 12x12 Designer Series Paper-visit juststampin.com for inspiration and ordering information-Jeanie Stark StampinUp
Product colors: Basic Black, Blueberry Bushel, Crushed Curry, Fresh Freesia, Garden Green, Melon Mambo

I had intended to use strips of DSP on the front of the card; however, I thought it distracted from the beautiful flower. I love how it turned out with the DSP and die cuts on the inside.

Here are the details to create today’s card:

Paper: Blueberry Bushel, Boho Blue, Garden Green, & Basic White cardstock, Lovely Garden 12 x 12 Designer Series Paper
Tools & Accessories: Thankful Garden Decorative Masks & Dies, Blending Brushes, Textured Notes Dies, 2023-2025 In Color Flat Pearls, Eyelet 3D Embossing Folder, Garden Green Twine, Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine

Measurements:
Card base: 5 1/2 x 8 1/2 scored along the long side @ 2 1/8 from each end
Cardstock (Boho Blue): 2 @ 1 7/8 x 2 1/8 embossed, 3 3/8 x 4 5/8
White Cardstock: 4 1/4 x 4 1/2 to stamp hydrangea, 2 3/4 x 4 1/4 (inside)
Garden Green: scraps to die cut leaves
Designer Series Paper (Lovely Garden): 2 @ 2 x 5 3/8, 2 1/4 x 6 (envelope)

Directions:

  1. Fold and burnish card base folding the ends into the center.
  2. Adhere DSP strips on the inside along the ends.
  3. Die Cut 2 Garden Green leaves with Thankful Garden Die. Adhere on the inside of card in the center section in opposite corners.
  4. Die cut white cardstock with Textured Notes Die. Stamp sentiment. Adhere inside card in the center.
  5. Adhere embossed layer to front of card across the middle.
  6. Stamp hydrangea on basic white with Momento Black ink. Place on grid paper and use a sticky note to hold it in place.
  7. Using Mask #1, line up the mask with the hydrangea and adhere the piece to the grid paper with a sticky note. Take a blending brush and rub it in the Boho Blue ink pad. Rub the brush on the scrap paper (grid paper) first to blend the ink and then, using a circular motion, rub the brush in the mask opening. Use a very light hand so that you just have a light blue color all over the flower.
  8. Remove Mask #1 but keep the stamped flower adhered with the sticky note in the same spot.
  9. Line up Mask #2 so that the mask opening is lined up with the flower. Adhere with a sticky note. Add more Boho Blue ink to the Blending Brush. Using a circular motion, rub the ink in the opening of the mask using just a bit more pressure.
  10. Remove Mask #2. Line up mask #3 and adhere with a sticky note.
  11. Add Blueberry Bushel Ink to the blending brush this time. Use a circular motion as before and add the darker highlights. Remove mask when happy with the results.
  12. Line up Masks #4 and #5 to color the leaves using Soft Sea Foam then Garden Green.
  13. Adhere flower to Boho Blue layer. Adhere to cardbase with Stampin’ Dimensionals. *Only add dimensionals along the left side.
  14. Embellish with dots. Add a twine bow with a Mini Glue Dot.
  15. Adhere DSP to envelope flap and trim to fit.

Two Quick & Easy Card Techniques with Two-Tone Cardstock!

~ Jeanie Stark ~ Leave a comment

You can make a stunning card quick & easy using Stampin’ Up! Two-Tone Cardstock and Black Ink!
Stampin' Up! Beautiful Gallery Fun Fold card idea with Two-Tone Cardstock-Jeanie Stark StampinUp
I love a monochromatic card. This simple fun fold showcases both the light and dark side of the two-tone cardstock.

The cardstock base measures 5 1/2″ x 12″ and is scored at 3″, 6 1/2″, and 10 1/2″.
Fold and burnish the score lines folding back and forth (mountain fold, valley fold, mountain fold). The image from Gallery Blooms is stamped in black ink and cut out with the coordinating die. I tied a bow and adhered it to the card with a Mini Glue Dot. The sentiment from Spotlight on Nature is cut out with a die from Unbounded Love and popped up with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

The two-tone cardstock has a white core which creates a unique look using the tearing technique.
Stampin' Up! Beautiful Gallery and Your Are Remarkable Fun Fold card idea with Two-Tone Cardstock-Jeanie Stark StampinUp
I folded the last score line in on the right side. I tore this piece along the edge to expose the white core (and beautiful texture) then adhered the piece to the inside of the card. The inside image is also from Gallery Blooms and the sentiment is from You Are Remarkable. It stands nicely for display.

I added a panel on the inside for a handwritten message using one of the dies from Textured Notes.

What do you think of the tearing technique? Have you tried it?

I really like to emboss two-tone cardstock. It’s quick & easy! I love how the embossing & sanding technique I used on the card below adds so much texture!
Stampin' Up! Wonderful Thoughts and Sunflower 3D Embossing Folder Thinking of You textured and blended Card Idea-jeanie Stark StampinUp
I used Calypso Coral Two-Tone Cardstock on the front of my card. I embossed it with the Sunflower 3D Embossing Folder then used my blending brush to add some Pecan Pie ink to the flower centers. After that I used a sanding block and gently rubbed over the front of the cardstock to expose the core. I don’t think my photo does this card justice as it really pops and is just bursting with texture!

There are so many different techniques you can do with two-tone cardstock. I am just getting started! I love to experiment and try new things. Do you have a favorite card/technique from today? I’d love to hear from you! Leave a comment below!
