Double Z Fold Cards with Painted Pumpkins and Poetic Petals

September 23, 2026September 23, 2026 ~ Jeanie Stark ~ Leave a comment

Did you play along with my Mystery Monday Stampin’? If you followed the clues you would have created a Double Z Fun Fold Card similar to these.
Mystery Solved!
Stampin' Up! Double Z fun fold cards with Painted Pumpkins and Poetic Petals-Jeanie Stark StampinUp
This fun fold card is double the fun! It’s two Z folds in one card! You can see from the photo below how it got it’s name.

I had so much fun playing with lots of new products! Let’s take a closer look at each of today’s cards.

This fall thank you card showcases the New Painted Patch Designer Series Paper.

Pumpkin spice has nothing on the Painted Patch 12″ x 12″ Designer Series Paper. This pack is bursting with painted pumpkins, cheerful gourds, leafy sprigs, and all the cozy fall feels in a fresh, on-trend color palette. Flip each sheet over for easy-to-use patterns that make cards, tags, and gift packaging come together faster than you can say sweater weather.

I used three different patterns on my card. The pumpkins on the front are die cut from the DSP with the Painted Pumpkin Dies. I adhered these to the 2 2/4 square I cut using the New Tile Garden Dies.

Here’s a look at the NEW Painted Pumpkin Dies.

Create your own slice of autumn with the Painted Pumpkins Dies. Fall favorites, leafy vines, and a sweet little fence come together to create layered scenes that feel straight out of a crisp fall day. Think playful, dimensional, and just the right amount of seasonal cute.
These dies are available as a bundle; however, I didn’t purchase the coordinating stamp set as these dies can easily stand alone. I can’t wait to create with the fence/gate! So many fun possibilities!

The Tile Garden Dies are versatile squares and a “must-have” addition to a crafter’s toolkit.

Tile Garden Dies make it easy to add layered interest to your handmade cards and scrapbook pages. These dies come in varying sizes and edge patterns for lots of options for creating frames, borders, and layers.

Here’s a few more photos showing the Double Z fold. It stands and displays nicely!

The sentiments are from a NEW Online Exclusive Samp Set, Thanks & Giving. I will include the links below for all the new products I used on today’s cards.

I really love this DSP for fall! You know what I always say…Every card needs a coordinated envelope. It’s so easy to add a 2 1/4 x 6 piece of DSP to an envelope flap and trim. For this card I used 2 pieces together.

My second card showcases more New products from the September – December Catalog and September Online Exclusives.
Stampin' Up! Poetic Petals, Words & Wishes, and Soiree Salutations fun fold thank you card with Mosaic Garden Designer Series Paper-Jeanie Stark StampinUp
This card features the New Mosaic Garden Designer Series Paper.
Stampin' Up! Mosaic Garden Designer Series Paper-visit juststampin.com for inspiration, ordering information, and more-Jeanie Stark StampinUp
Bring artisan elegance to your paper crafting with the Mosaic Garden 12″ x 12″ Designer Series Paper. This paper features tile-inspired artwork: soft watercolor florals framed like hand-painted ceramic borders, subtle all-over patterns reminiscent of decorative tiles, and organic brushstrokes. Use large pieces as backgrounds on cards and scrapbooks or cut smaller pieces to use as accents.

One of my favorite new products is the Poetic Petals Dies. This is an online exclusive so you won’t find it in any catalog. Be sure to browse all the new Online Exclusive products!!!

A little detail around the edges can change the whole feel of a card. The Poetic Petals Dies include square dies with decorative edge details and floral centerpieces that create full frames or peek-through windows. Use them to frame sentiments, create openings, or add a little extra interest wherever your project needs it.

I went a little “rogue” with this card and added an extra layer behind the die cut flowers on the front and inside of my card. This time I cut the 2 3/4 squares using the stylish Shapes Dies then cut my floral die from the center creating a nice sized border.

I added a few In Color Dots to the center of the flowers.

For this card I added DSP to the front of my envelope to coordinate.

Rewind & Redo with Playful Packaging

July 16, 2026July 16, 2026 ~ Jeanie Stark ~ 9 Comments

I am away on vacation with family this week and had hoped to get all of my “rewind and redo” blog posts (as well as mystery stamping) scheduled ahead of time so I could be “unplugged” while away. Obviously, that didn’t happen!

Last week I celebrated 10 years of blogging and took a look back at some of the previous cards I created. I had so much fun redoing them with some of my favorite current products. If you have been following my blog these past 10 years, you know that I also love to create 3D projects. I really enjoy creating little treat holders for special occasions, etc. Below are some past treat packaging I created in 2020. You can click on the image to view the original post with all the details.

For today’s redo, I have 3 fun projects to share with you that are quick & easy!
Stampin' Up! Playful packaging ideas-Jeanie stark StampinUp
I created each of these using one of my favorite bundles from the May 2026 Catalog, the Playful Packaging Bundle! If you like to create your own packaging for gifts and/or treats this bundle is a must-have!!

Add your own special touch to every gift and goodie with the Playful Packaging Bundle! Stamp sweet sentiments and cut out custom handles to transform plain cellophane bags into personalized creations. Style each detail to make every package truly yours to give.

The Playful Packaging Dies are designed to cut a bag handle, front and back panels, plus extra shapes and sentiment labels.
Stampin' Up! Playful Packaging Dies-visit juststampin.com for inspiration, ordering information, and more-Jeanie Stark StampinUp
This Dynamic Duo is sure to be a go-to bundle for all of your fun and festive treat bags! Stampin’ Up! also has the NEW 4 x 8 Cellophane Bags that coordinate perfectly with the Playful Packaging Bundle! This will make your gift-giving so much easier! You can customize the size of the cellophane bag by trimming the top to fit your project.

Here’s a closer look at today’s projects.
Stampin' Up! Playful Packaging Bundle with Words For The Season Dies and Spooktacular Designer series Paper treat holder-Jeanie stark StampinUp
How cute is this for your favorite trick-or-treat kiddos?!!! This features the Spooktacular 6×6 Designer Series Paper and the Words for the Season Dies. I also added an adorable ghost on the ribbon from the Adhesive backed Bats, Ghosts, & Dots. The NEW Flat 4 x 8 Cellophane Bags are perfectly sized for the Playful Packaging Dies! I could have easily added more candy to this bag; however, I chose to cut off a bit from the top of the bag.

My second project holds some fruit flavored tea for your favorite tea drinkers!
Stampin' Up! Playful Packaging idea with Homemade Sweetness Designer Series Paper-Jeanie stark StampinUp
The Homemade Sweetness Designer Series Paper was perfect to coordinate with the tea flavors. The sentiment is from the Playful Packaging Stamp Set and I just curved it to stamp on the handle. I love to pick up little gifts for friends when I see something that reminds me of them. Who doesn’t appreciate a little something “just because”?!

My third project holds a little gift I made.
Stampin' Up! Playful Packaging gift idea with Pretty Poinsettia and Gingham Gallery Designer series Paper-Jeanie stark StampinUp
If you follow my Facebook page, you know I love to create trinket dishes, ornaments, and more with shells. This shell matches perfectly with the Pretty Poinsettia Bundle!!! I made a card last week that I will give with this gift. I love how it all coordinates!

Here are the basic details to create these.

Cardstock: 5 1/2 x 4 1/4. Die cut all three pieces on this one piece.
Designer Series Paper: 4 x 1 1/2
Flat 4 x 8 Cellophane Bags.
Ribbon/Twine

Fold and score the back piece. Add DSP to the front.
Add Tear & Tape along the score line and attach the handle and front piece.
Open, add Tear & Tape as shown and adhere the cellophane bag.
*Make sure you add the treat inside the bag before adhering.
Decorate the front as desired with sentiment, ribbon, etc.
It’s that quick & easy! The possibilities are endless!!!
