~ Jeanie Stark ~ 2 Comments

It’s time for another Tic Tac Toe Challenge!
Here’s this week’s inspiration board.www.tictactoechallenge.com
I got Tic Tac Toe 3 ways this week! I went down the left side, across the middle, and on the diagonal from top left to bottom right. Here’s my card.
Stampin' Up! Amber Autumn Spanner fun fold card-Jeanie Stark StampinUp
I love fun fold cards and this one is super easy and full of surprises! This card opens up twice! The strip that spans the front of the card attaches to the two outside flaps creating the card front. There’s even a little hidden message under the spanner! The center panel of the card opens up second to reveal the inside of the card. Here’s how it opens.

Bring an air of sophistication to your fall crafting with the Autumn Toile 12″ x 12″ Designer Series Paper. Featuring intricate imagery of trees, pumpkins, animals, and more, the toile wallpaper-inspired designs add a timeless elegance to your harvest-season projects.

This fun fold design is one of 3 cards I created for my Mystery Monday Stampin’ Challenge this week. If you are new to my blog, you may be wondering what is Mystery Monday Stampin’? First of all, it is super fun!!!! The best part is you USE WHAT YOU HAVE to create a handmade card! Whether you’re a beginner or a seasoned stamper, this is a creative way to kick off your week with stamping fun. When you follow my clues you will end up with a fun fold card layout you can use over and over. Plus, after the Mystery is solved I share the PDF with the clues so you can print it off to make the card again.

~ Jeanie Stark ~ 8 Comments

Happy Thursday! I am honored to be the designer for the Tic Tac Toe Challenge this week. I had so much fun creating with this week’s board!www.tictactoechallenge.com
I was inspired to use all 9 elements on my card this week! Woo Hoo!
Can you find all 9?

I love to give books as gifts and knew the True Story stamp set and dies from Concord & 9th would get lots of use in my craft room!
I used Stampin’ Up!’s With You In Mind stamp set on the inside of my card.

With You In Mind is one of my favorite sentiment stamp sets! It has you covered for all different occasions.

I decorated the “spines” of the books with die cuts, embossing, and different sentiments and images.

I love to use Stampin’ Up! clear envelopes to decorate a gift bag with the handmade card. It’s quick & easy and makes a great presentation!
(Can guess what’s in the bag?)

What was the last book (or a favorite book) you read? I just finished Counting Miracles by Nicholas Sparks and am currently reading The Invisible Life of Addie Larue by V.E. Schwab. I’m catching up on my reading while I try to stay off my feet and recover!

I hope you’ll head over to the Tic Tac Toe Challenge to see the wonderful projects the Design Team came up with this week. Then Pick 3 and play along…we’d love to see what you create!

Have a great day! Thanks for stopping by!

Arched Sunflowers for Tic Tac Toe Challenge #277

~ Jeanie Stark ~ 2 Comments

It’s time for another Tic Tac Toe Challenge!
Here’s this week’s inspiration board.
www.tictactoechallenge.com
I went on the diagonal this week with Red, Free, and Yellow.Stampin" Up! Arched Shaped Sunflower card with sunflower 3D embossing folder-jeanie Stark StampinUp
I often get asked where I get the inspiration for some of the projects I create! I find inspiration in different places. I really love the Tic Tac Toe Challenge! Even though it is considered a “challenge”, I find it so easy to just pick 3 (or more) elements from the board and most of the time just seeing the items in front of me triggers the creative process and ideas just start to evolve. I also like sketches! Choose a design, grab some cardstock /DSP/stamp set, etc. that you have and use the sketch to put it all together. When I feel like I’ve lost my “mojo” (it happens to all of us), I go to Pinterest for ideas! Often when I start to recreate a project I like it ends up totally different as just creating anything tends to jumpstart your creativity! And then there are times when inspiration is delivered…

When I received this catalog in the mail I knew I wanted to recreate the cover using Stampin’ Up!’s Sunflower 3D Embossing Folder and Everyday Arches Dies. (I even had the gold bee embellishments!!) This was so much fun!!!

I created the card base using the largest arch die. You get 10 different sizes in the set!
Stampin' Up! Everyday Arches Dies-visit juststampin.com for handmade inspiration, ordering information, and more-Jeanie Stark StampinUp
Add curviness to your cards, scrapbooks, and other paper crafts with the Everyday Arches Dies. This die set has multiple sizes of a classic arch shape. Stamp a greeting or image inside the arch or layer several sizes in different colors for a dimensional look. You can also combine two dies to cut a solid arch, then fill the inside with a die-cut piece of patterned paper to create a picture window.

To create an arch shaped card using the largest die, fold your card base in half. Then with the fold on the left side make sure the die is just slightly over the fold line when you run it through the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine.


I cut a piece of white cardstock with the same arched die then embossed it and colored using my Stampin’ Blends before glueing it to the front of the card. To create the gold arch I cut the largest die and the 3rd largest die together. *Use removable tape or a sticky note to hold them together when running it through the die cut machine. Thats all there is to it! Lastly, I adhered the bee embellishments with liquid glue. I often wait to add my sentiment until I’m ready to send the card. This card could be used for so many different occasions. I love having cards like this on hand for when you need a card quick!

Where do you find inspiration? I’d love to hear from you! Leave a comment below.
