New Inked & Tiled in a Book Binding Easel fun fold card; video tutorial & measurements too!

May 22, 2023
I'm just a little bit in love with this special fun fold layout! I've made three versions of it this month….

Save

I featured two new colors in our Stampin' Up! catalog – Boho Blue & Pebbled Path with returning Misty Moonlight & White.

I hope you watch the video here or below to see how to make this neat card. It's so much easier than it looks!

I knew this stamp set would be fun to play with. The greetings are wonderful and of course the botanical images are beautiful!

Save

Details:
- I stamped the large leaf repeatedly onto the Boho Blue layers using Versamark ink. I let it dry and then textured it with the Exposed Brick 3D embossing folder. I love this new folder!!
- How did I get the two-tone colors on my flowers? I used both an ink pad and markers. I inked the flowers first in Boho Blue. Then I colored the stems using a Pebbled Path Stampin' Write marker. Huff and stamp! Why huff? Huffing with your moist breath re-moistens the ink on your stamp. This can be especially helpful with solid type stamps.
- After stamping I used the same Pebbled Path marker to add more detail to the base of each flower.
- For an easel card you need something to hold it open. I stamped the flower in the set onto a piece of Boho Blue and punched it out with the Petal Park Builder punch. I curled and distressed the petals and added it with a few Mini Dimensionals.
The card does lay flat for mailing.

Save

I added a looped piece of the 2023-25 In Color Jute trim under my punched Oval greeting. I did sponge a bit of Boho Blue on the edges first.

In the video I share two other beautiful cards made with the Inked & Tiled stamp set. I made two of them for swaps on the Stampin' Up! incentive trip I'm on right now! A Norwegian cruise!

Inked & Tiled with a gorgeous background with video & blending tips!

May 19, 2023

Today I'm sharing one of my favorite cards I've made this month. These colors are so me! I needed to make 28 of these for the Norway cruise with Stampin' Up! We have to option of joining a card swap and I always try to do something unique for this special swap.

I chose the new Copper Clay with Black and Coastal Cabana. Aren't they beautiful together?

Save

This card features the new Inked & Tiled stamp set seen here. It actually comes in a bundle with two punches. But I didn't use those here.

Save

After I stamped the flowers in Black ink I used Blending Brushes to add both Coastal Cabana and Copper Clay ink. We have both regular and small Blending Brushes now. For a background like this I recommend the larger set of brushes. See them here.

Tip: when wanting a smooth blend, I recommend adding ink to your brush and start off of your paper. Slowly work your way on with a soft, gentle swirling motion. Adding pressure can give you blotches or other marks. It's also helpful to have a fully inked pad. *Remember that is helps to add ink a little at a time. It can be a slow process!

Save

Isn't that texture gorgeous with the blended background?!

When I was creating this card I made the card on the right first. If you look closely the stamped panel does not have any texture on it. Adding the Exposed Brick embossing created the perfect finish!

Fresh, new color combination with Inked &Tiled – fun fold with video tutorial too

May 18, 2023
I've been working double time getting ready to leave for our Norway cruise – this year's incentive trip with Stampin' Up! I'm thrilled to go on this year's trip with my husband. He's a fabulous traveling partner!

Save

Depending on WIFI, I hope to share photos on Facebook and Instagram while we're gone.

"Fewer than 1% of Stampin’ Up!’s demonstrators worldwide achieve this trip."

~~~

I'm not usually a Subtles or Neutrals kind of gal but I sure love this beautiful color combination! It's Gray Granite, Petal Pink with a bit of our new Pebbled Path.

Save

What do you think? I haven't Gray Granite often because I never found a color to pair it with. But Pebbled Path is gorgeous and among the same color tones. And add Petal Pink and it's beautiful!

I stamped the large leaf image repeatedly on the Gray Granite layer. The greeting is on a white die-cut from the Timeless Arrangements dies. I added a few of the pretty die-cuts under the greeting before layering a folded piece of ribbon (Ribbon Duo Combo Pack) and then to the punched & textured Petal Pink circle.

My card is an easy Z-fold – 4 1/4" X 11" card base scored at 2 3/4" and 5 1/2".

Save

I added lots of texture with the Timeless Arrangements dies. The pretty 'Hello' greeting is from the new Layering Leaves stamp set. It's a new favorite and I LOVE that it matches the Bough punch! See it here.

Save

Isn't it a beautiful set?

Measurements:
- Card base 4 ¼” X 11” score at 2 ¾” & 5 ½”
- Earthen Elegance DSP front 2 ¾” X 4”
- Gray Granite 4” X 3”
