A Farewell to 2025 with a Showcase of Cards

December 31, 2025 ~ Jeanie Stark ~ 4 Comments

New Year’s Eve is always a day of reflection for me. As I reflect on this past year, I can’t help but feel an overwhelming sense of gratitude for this incredible crafting community. Whether you’ve ordered my card kits, purchased Stampin’ Up! products and/or product shares from me, played along with my Mystery Monday Challenges, joined my team, or simply shared your love of creativity, YOU are the reason I love what I do! Thank you for filling my year with so much joy and inspiration-it truly means the world to me!

As I look back at the past year I thought I’d share some of my favorite projects. *Click on the image to view the original post with all the details.

Card Ideas to Celebrate Friendship

February 6, 2025February 6, 2025 ~ Jeanie Stark ~ 6 Comments

Send a Card to a Friend Day is celebrated on February 7th each year (That’s tomorrow!). It’s an opportunity to brighten a friend’s day during the winter months and spread smiles through the mail.

Send a Card to a Friend Day is a special occasion dedicated to reconnecting with friends through the simple act of sending a heartfelt card. It’s a day to express gratitude, share warm wishes, or simply let friends know they are cherished and remembered.

I have a lot of friend card ideas to share with you today! Here’s a card that was included in my Just Stampin’ Card Kit to Go last month. It’s a fun fold pop up card.
Stampin' Up! So Sincere and Sentimental Park fun fold pop up card idea for a friend-Jeanie Stark StampinUp
You could send this card any time of year or it would be a great Valentine card for a friend. I used the Sale-A-Bration Bundle, Heart Shaped (available this month for FREE with a qualifying order), on the front of this card as well as the Adoring Hearts Hybrid Embossing Folder. The sentiment from Sentimental Park is perfect any time of year!
Here’s a look at some inside sentiments you could stamp.

Stampin' Up! Hearts of Elegance and Sentimental Park fun fold pop up card idea for a friend-Jeanie Stark StampinUp
This card folds to 4 x 4 and fits in a medium envelope.

I used the Hearts of Elegance Bundle to die cut the heart then embossed it with the Starstruck Embossing Folder (another Sale-A-Bration freebie). You can view the complete list of products I used below.

The PDF tutorial to create this fun fold pop up card and more is FREE with a purchase of $50 or more this month! If you would like to purchase the tutorial for $3, email me, then send payment through Venmo (@jstark324) or PayPal (j.stark@goeaston.net). I will accept a check if you prefer.

Here are some of my favorite friend cards I’ve shared previously. You can click on the image to view the original post with all the details.

Send a Card to a Friend Day is a beautiful reminder that friendship is worth celebrating and nurturing. Whether you’re sending a card to an old friend or a new one, the act of sending and receiving cards fosters connections and spreads happiness. I am so thankful for the friends in my life! Do you have a favorite card from today’s showcase? I’d love to hear from you. Leave a comment below. Who are you going to send a card to this week?

Have a great day! Thanks for stopping by!

I used the stamp set, punch, DSP, and embellishments to create a mini slimline fun fold for this week’s Tic Tac Toe Challenge. Here’s the inspiration board:
Tic Tac Toe Challenge #237-visit juststampin.com for inspiration and more-Jeanie Stark StampinUp
I created Tic Tac Toe going down the left side with fun fold, punch, red.
Here are the details if you would like to create this fun fold.

Measurements:

Card base (Sweet Sorbet): 3 1/4” x 11” scored at 4 3/4”
DSP (Bee Mine): 4 1/2 x 3, 1 1/2 x 3 (inside)
Basic White: 5/8 x 3 1/2 (sentiment strip), 3 x 6 (inside), scraps to stamp and punch bee
Daffodil Delight: 5/8 x 3 1/2

Directions:

Fold & burnish card base (use bone folder).
Adhere DSP to front of card.
Stamp and punch bee and attach antennae and wings with Mini Glue Dots.
Stamp Sentiment and adhere to cardstock layer slightly off center.
Adhere sentiment layer and bee with Stampin’ Dimensionals. *Just add dimensionals on left side of sentiment layer.
Attach adhesive-backed flower embellishment to sentiment layer.
Adhere DSP along the right side of white layer. Stamp sentiment and adhere inside card.

I love to give little treats (especially for Valentine’s Day). I stamped and punched an extra bee to adhere to the honey jar. Then I stamped the sentiment and cut it apart to adhere to the lid with Mini Glue Dots. I also added a punched heart. The jar is filled with honey filled candy…perfect to go with this sweet valentine card!
