Cheerful Daisies, Layering Leaves, and More…A Showcase of 3×3 Cards

I really enjoy making cards to coordinate with gifts. If I can make a homemade gift as well, I consider that a Win! Win! I love to walk the beach and comb for shells and sea glass so I started creating some gifts from the sea. I’ve shared some of the trinket dishes I’ve made previously. I decided to create cards to coordinate.  One of my favorite cards uses the new Cheerful Daisies Bundle and the Layering Leaves Stamp set with the coordinating Bough Punch.
Cheerful Daisies 3x3 card idea-Jeanie Stark StampinUp
I was so happy with how these turned out I was inspired to create more! I have a lot of different shells so I went through my current and retired stamp sets, designer series papers, embellishments, paper pumpkin kits, etc. I was on a mission to see what I could create using what I had.  I used 12 x 12 Basic White cardstock to create the 3×3 cards. You can get 8 cards from a sheet of cardstock. Here are some of the cards I made.
Stampin' Up! Pansy Patch 3x3 card idea-Jeanie Stark StampinUp
I think pansies are such pretty flowers and I love that they come in so many different colors. I used the dies and retired DSP to create this card (a CASE from the catalog); however, you can easily stamp your own card using the Pansy Patch stamp set and Pansy Dies which are still available. This card would be so pretty to give with a pot of pansies!
Heron Habitat 3x3 note card-Jeanie Stark StampinUp
I love heron and didn’t get to share all the projects I wanted to before the Heron Habitat Bundle sold out and retired! This set will stay in my collection. I used the blending brushes to create a subtle background before stamping the images.  The heron is colored with watercolor pencils and a blender pen then cut out with the coordinating die.
Stampin' Up! Timeless Tulips 3x3 note care idea-Jeanie Stark StampinUp
This card was quick & easy using the Timeless Tulips stamp set.
Stampin' Up! Hydrangea Hill Designer Series Paper note card idea-Jeanie Stark StampinUp
Hydrangeas are one of my favorite flowers! I used the Hydrangea Hill Designer Series Paper to create this card and matching envelope.
Stampin' Up! Painted Harvest and Leaf Punch 3x3 Card idea-Jeanie Stark StampinUp
The retired Painted Harvest Stamp set and Leaf Punch was used to create this sunflower card. I was able to match the green leaves using the recently retired Soft Succulent cardstock and Evening Evergreen ink (from the 2021-2023 In Colors).
Stampin' Up! Sailing Home Stamp set and dies 3x3 card idea-Jeanie Stark StampinUp
If there’s a stamp set, die, or embossing folder that has anything to do with the ocean, I probably own it! LOL  This card was created using the Sailing Home Stamp set and dies. I love to go sailing and could spend my days on the water! These would be great for masculine gifts too!
Stampin' Up! Seashells 3D Embossing Folder 3x3 card idea-Jeanie Stark StampinUp
The Seashells 3D Embossing Folder is one of my favorites of all time!  I love the detail and texture it provides!
Stampin' Up! Seaside Notions and By the Bay Designer Series Paper 3x3 card idea-Jeanie Stark StampinUp
The seahorse is from the Seaside Notions stamp set (retired long ago). I colored the seahorse using my new Wild Wheat Stampin’ Blends…couldn’t match any better! The large shell (and starfish soap) are from my guest bath!
Stampin' Up! June 2019 Paper Pumpkin kit, A Little Smile, alternative idea-Jeanie Stark StampinUp
Paper Pumpkin to the rescue for this card! The June 2019, A Little Smile, kit was one of my favorites.

These cards just make me smile! I love that I was able to use supplies I already had! I bet if you go through your stash you can do the same!

3×3 Cards are great to tuck inside a gift, leave for the waitress in a restaurant/ housekeeper in the hotel, give to the person handing you your coffee in the drive thru or give to the UPS driver who may or may not make deliveries to your home every day. (LOL) I’m sure you can think of many people to share a little handmade kindness with a note card!

Are you wondering what I’m going to do with all these shells and cards? I was asked to participate in our local Farmer’s Market that will open later this month. I thought this would be a great opportunity to meet more people and promote my Stampin’ Up! business. I intend to gift the cards with the purchase of the shells. I will tuck the coordinating card as well as my Stampin’ Up! business card in the box. I love to shop the Clearance Rack and I stocked up on Stampin’ Up! boxes and other packaging items when they went on sale! These boxes make gift giving so easy!
Stampin' Up! Mini Pizza Boxes, Clear Acetate boxes, and Scalloped Treat Boxes make gift giving easy-Jeanie Stark StampinUp

The shells and cards fit in either the Mini Pizza Boxes or Scalloped Kraft Treat Boxes. My oyster wine stoppers fit in the Tag A Bag Gift Boxes and a set of two napkin rings fit in the clear acetate boxes.  I created the napkin rings to use in my home.

A Gift Idea for Mother’s Day

Mother’s day is a perfect time to recognize all the wonderful moms in your life! When my daughter was little I was new in the community and joined a moms playgroup to meet people. Those wonderful women became “my village” from potty training to empty nests! Their friendship is a blessing! Today’s project would be a lovely gift for any of the moms in your life!
Stampin' Up! Pansy Petals and Timeless Tulips Gift Box idea - Jeanie Stark StampinUp
I have been on a roll making these oyster shell trinket holders. There are so many uses for these! (*If you missed my previous posts featuring these shells, you can click HERE or HERE.)

I took advantage of the CLEARANCE SALE and purchased the gold boxes which are the perfect size for these shells. The inspiration for the box came from a card design (found on page 28) in the 2021-2022 Annual Catalog.

I cut the pansy and leaves from the Pansy Petals Designer Series Paper using the Pansy Dies. The sentiment is from the Timeless Tulips Stamp Set (*one of my retiring favorites!!!). I love how the box coordinates with the shell! The bumblebee trinket is the perfect finishing touch! You can view the complete list of products used below.
Here’s a close up of the Gold Mini Pizza Box.
Stampin' Up! Pansy Petals and Timeless Tulips Gift Box idea - Jeanie Stark StampinUp
Here’s a SPECIAL OFFER FOR MOTHER’S DAY…. You can purchase the pansy gift box and shell for $20 (includes shipping & handling)! These shells are the latest craze for decor and gifts.  I have seen them in boutiques and gift shops priced much higher. If you want/need a Mother’s Day gift for a friend, sister, aunt, mom, grandma…I’ve got you covered. This one of a kind gift comes ready to give wrapped in the pansy box. You can even have it shipped directly to the recipient! I have a limited number ready to ship immediately. To order, email me (j.stark@goeaston.net) with “Mother’s Day Gift” in the subject. I accept Paypal or check.

Layering Squares Flowers For Every Season Ghirardelli Gift Box

I have been busy this week finishing up this month’s projects for my Just Stampin’ Card Kit and 3D Project Buffet to go. These kits will go out in the mail tomorrow. I’m so excited about this month’s 3D project I just had to share it with you!
Stampin' Up! Flowers For Every Season Layering Squares Gift Box idea for Mother's Day - Jeanie Stark StampinUp
This adorable Ghirardelli gift box is really quick & easy to make. It could hold other chocolates (Andes Mints, Nuggets), hand cream, etc. The flaps tuck inside and you can add a stamped sentiment inside the lid.

This would be a “sweet” little treat for Mother’s Day, birthday, etc. I stamped the sentiment from Timeless Tulips in Just Jade Ink.

Unfortunately most of the products used to create this box are retiring soon! If you don’t already have them in your craft supply, trust me, you need them as they are some of my absolute favorite “go to” items! (*Note- “Last-Chance” products are only available while supplies last!) You can view the complete product list below.

My Just Stampin’ Card Kit and 3D Project Buffet sold out again this month; however, if you love this box as much as I do, I am offering a kit to go for just the box for $5 (includes shipping). I will email you the tutorial to put your box together when it ships to you. To order, send me an email with “Gift Box” in the subject line. To send payment, go to paypal.com, sign in or register for an account, click “Send” and fill in my email address (j.stark@myactv.net). Fill in the amount ($5 which includes shipping), and Continue. If you do not use PayPal, you may send me a check. (*Note- Per Stampin’ Up! policy, I must wait for your payment to arrive before sending your kit.) I package everything you need cut, scored, and ready for you to stamp and assemble! You just cut, and adhere per the instructions. You can use whatever stamp set you have for sentiment of your choice.
