This card showcases the gorgeous Floral Impressions Designer Series Paper. I’ve been using this paper a lot lately. (It is one of my favorites and it’s on sale!)

I used the first pattern (shown above in the upper left) for each of The 2 1/2 x 4 panels on my card.

This “rainbow” of flowers makes me smile! I “fussy cut” some of the flowers from left over DSP pieces and popped them up on dimensionals on each of the panels. I love this added dimension!

I added an extra piece of DSP on this panel to insert a gift card.

The pinwheel tower card folds flat and fits in a regular Stampin’ Up! medium envelope. You can flip through the panels like a “never ending card”. So much fun!

The tower fun fold card is already a WOW; however, I promised to share how I stepped it up even further with an added surprise…
Stampin' Up! Fun Fold Pinwheel Tower birthday Card idea with Floral Impressions & Simply Said-Jeanie Stark StampinUp
Insert a test tube in the tower, add a little water and fresh flowers, and you have an even bigger “WOW card” to hand deliver! A few years ago one of Stampin’ Up!’s Paper Pumpkin kits had little test tubes with cork toppers for Halloween treats. These little test tubes fit nicely inside the tower or you can find test tubes on Amazon.

This idea would be perfect for a get well, birthday (as shown), or even just a thinking of you card. I got this added flower bouquet idea from my sister. We always make cards when we visit each other. My sister created a tower card filled with fresh flowers and had it waiting in the guest room for me during my last visit. *I will share her amazing card (which inspired me) later this week in my Sunday Showcase. (I will have another added surprise!!!)

Let’s flip through my second card of the day…

This fun Halloween card was easy to create using two new online exclusives, Spooky Sweet Specialty Designer Series Paper and the Fright Night Bundle.

Stampin' Up! Spooky Sweet 12 x 12 Specialty Designer Series Paper-visit juststampin.com to preorder your product share-Jeanie stark StampinUp
Colors: Basic Black, Daffodil Delight, Granny Apple Green, Petunia Pop, Pumpkin Pie

The Spooky Sweet 12″ x 12″ Specialty Designer Series Paper includes patterned paper, precut images, and cut-apart scenes and elements. It’s perfect for creating tags and gift packaging for Halloween goodies, accents for scrapbooks, or other spooky-cute paper crafts. I used the cut -apart scenes for each of the panels on my card. I fussy cut the adorable animals in costume and popped them up with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

The Fright Night Bundle was perfect to add fun word dies, a spider, web, and sentiments on my card. Stampin' Up! Fright Night Bundle-visit juststampin.com for handmade inspiration and more-Jeanie Stark StampinUp
I love the nesting label dies included in this set! You can use these for tags and many different cards throughout the year!

I made this card for my grand nephew. Of course I had to step up this card with an extra little surprise as well.

I like these mini bubble wands for Halloween and I know Nolan (4 years old) will too! It’s a great non sweet treat that will be lots of fun! I fit 4 of these in the center of the tower. (I purchased the bubbles from Amazon.)

Nolan told me he likes “scary things” and is really into spiders lately so I think he will enjoy this Halloween card. I always bring him and his sister a new book when I visit and this card will be a perfect compliment to The Very Busy Spider by Eric Carle. *A great book for 2-5 year olds!! (As a former teacher I am happy to offer book recommendations for gifts.)

Stampin' Up! Wildflower Birthday fun fold card idea with Unblunded Love and Spring Corners stamp sets-Jeanie Stark StampinUp
This is a quick and easy fun fold card to create! I chose to showcase the beautiful Wildflower Birthday 12″ x 12″ Specialty Designer Series Paper.

The sentiment is from Unbounded Love and punched with the Labeled With Love Punch. Inside the card I used the Spring Corners Stamp Set. I love the corner stamps which leave plenty of space for a handwritten message.

Stand Up Easter Cross Card

I love this time of year! Easter is a time of renewal, reflection, and celebration, making it the perfect occasion to create a heartfelt handmade card. Today’s card is ideal for sending Easter blessings to loved ones.
Stampin' Up! Perennial Lavender Standing Cross Card-Jeanie Stark StampinUp
I pulled out several stamp sets (some retired) for sentiments on the back. Here’s a look at a few:

Do you have a preference? Purple or Crumb Cake?
Which banner do you like better?
Stampin' Up! Perennial Lavender Standing Cross Card with Hold on To Hope Stamp Set-Jeanie Stark StampinUp
The Happy Easter sentiment is from the March 2017 Paper Pumpkin Bunny Buddies Kit. The other banner sentiment is from the Hold on to Hope Stamp Set and Cross of Hope Dies (retired). There are several current stamp sets and dies that would work on this card (Faith Collection, Mixed labels, Storybook Friends). I will put the link for the current products below.

I’ve seen several versions of this cross on Pinterest; however, they did not stand alone. Here are the details for my version:

Materials & Measurements

  • Card Base (Gorgeous Grape or Crumb Cake): 3 1/4 x 5 1/2
  • Cross: 1 1/4 x 3 1/4, 5 x 5 1/2 score on 5″ side @ 1, 1 7/8,  3 1/8, 4
  • DSP (Perennial Lavender): 2 @ 7/8 x 5 3/8, 1 1/8 x 5 3/8, 1 1/8 x 3 1/8 (cross)
    *Cross piece needs to be cut going horizontal, other strips are vertical cuts.
  • Basic White:  3 x 5 1/4 for stamped panel on the back of the card, scrap to stamp sentiment and die cut with banner die.
  • Embellishments: ~ 8 inches 3/8″ ribbon,  Purple Fine Shimmer Gems

Directions

  1. Fold and burnish cross piece along the score lines. Adhere DSP strips to the middle and both ends.

  3. Apply liquid glue to the ends on the backside and adhere to each side on the card base.

  6. Stamp images and/or sentiment on white layer and adhere on back.
  7. Card folds flat to the side to fit in standard envelope.

    This Easter Cross Card isn’t just for Easter! It would be a thoughtful sympathy card, an encouragement card to remind someone of faith and hope, or for celebrating spiritual milestones like baptism or confirmation. I made one for myself to display with my Easter decor.

Have a Blessed Day! Thanks for stopping by!
