Many of you know that I love playing with Jeanie Stark’s Mystery Stampin’ posts. She publishes a new one beginning every Sunday with a supply list. Then on Monday she gives all the clues. I always like to try to follow her clues before I see her finished projects on…
Our anniversary is coming up, so when Jeanie Stark challenged us with her Mystery Stampin’ this week, I decided to go with a giant heart! This card is a book binding fold with a twist! It folds up to reveal the inside message and creates a fun display. If you’d…
Jeanie Stark knocked it out of the park again with her Mystery Stampin’ fun fold challenge! This fold was entirely new to me, and as usual I was not sure what it would look like until I got toward the end of the directions. If you would like to play…
I made this modified version of the Pop-Up Bandstand Card I made for Jeanie Stark’s Mystery Stampin’ Challenge. See that card HERE. I’m calling this my Beautiful Gallery Bandstand Card because the scene you see is from Beautiful Gallery 6″x 6″ Designer Series Paper. This particular scene makes me think…
Jeanie Stark’s Mystery Monday Stampin’ ended up being a Pop-up Bandstand card this week. What a fun card! I think I’ve heard it called a bay window card as well. The fun part was not knowing what I was building as I followed her directions until I got it all…
I played along with Jeanie Stark’s Mystery Monday Stampin’ again this week! If you want to play along before seeing my card, click HERE. It’s fun and she does an excellent job of giving clues! I chose to make a Wildflower Birthday fun fold card while following her clues. But…
I love playing with Jeanie’s Mystery Stampin’! This week I used Unbounded Beauty DSP with Unbounded Love stamps to build this fun “Z-Fold With a surprise Twist!” It starts out like any Z-Fold, cutting the base color cardstock at 8-1/2″x 5-1/2″, then scoring and folding at 2-1/8″ and 4-1/4″. Next…
By now you may have noticed a pattern. Monday is Mystery Stamping over at www.juststampin.com. I enjoy a good challenge, so I dove in right away to solve the mystery! Here’s what I unraveled: It’s a “Pup Tent Fun Fold!” It’s not the easiest to photograph, but I took a…
Jeanie posted another Mystery Stamping challenge this week and I made a Bookmark Card using Floral Impressions. Thought I’d share! This is the card all tucked in and closed. Here’s what I used: For the card Misty Moonlight Cardstock base, 5-1/2″x 11″, scored at 2-1/2″ and 6-3/4″ Glass & Gardens…

I enjoy trying new fancy fold cards, and here is one that I hadn’t made before. It’s a Standing Z-Fold card. Jeanie Stark introduced me to this fold through her recent “Mystery Stamping” challenge. Of course, it was a mystery as to what it would look like until after it…
Today is Jeanie’s birthday! Jeanie is my long distance friend ~ we live on opposite sides of the country. We met through Stampin’ Up! at a convention several years ago, have had endless telephone chats, and have seen each other a couple of times since then. When I traveled to…
Hello, March! Did you know that March is National Craft Month?! No? Neither did I until this morning when I read it on Stamp-n-Storage‘s website. It’s also my birthday month! How appropriate 😁 ! I’m going to start the month with a birthday fun fold card: This Floral Delight DSP…
I have a fancy fold to share with you today! It stands up on your desk or shelf when opened, and lays flat to fit into a Medium envelope. I took this idea from Susan Campfield, suestampfield.com, and she named it the Side Tower Pop Up Card. It’s so fun!…
This week at Create with Stamping Friends we have a sketch challenge that happens to be a Gate Fold card! How fun! I pulled out my Regal Winter DSP again (I told you I can’t get enough of this pretty paper!) and made a Regal Winter Gate Fold Card. First,…
