Decorative Borders Book Binding card with video tutorial


I shared this special card on a recent FB Live.  It features a few techniques and is a fun fold card too.  

It's made with the Decorative Borders stamp set seen here; a new favorite! 

When I saw this pretty leaves image I thought of creating a frame with it.  I show how on the video below.

This book binding fold is so easy; it's just one extra fold line! 

Measurements:

  • Black card base 4 ¼” X 11” score at 4 ¼” & 5 ½”
  • White 3 7/8” square, inside is 4" square
  • Polished Pink 4”
  • Parakeet Party 1” X 4

I used my Stamparatus to create the pretty border on the Parakeet Party strip and a Baby Wipe technique for the colorful flowers. The leaves are colored with Blends markers; note the pretty shading!  Parakeet Party & Granny Apple Green blends.

The greeting is from the Framed Florets set seen here.

There are so many ways you might use this set; I share a few more in the video below.  It would be perfect to decorate your envelopes too! 

Here's how I finished the inside of the card.

  • Beautiful Z-fold card swap; with measurements!


    Today I’m sharing Sharon’s beautiful card swap. Our October Team swap theme was Fall or Halloween.

    She chose to feature the Sunflower Fields suite and the Everyday Arches dies. I’ll share the products used here below.

    That gorgeous foil paper behind the arches is the Radiant Foils specialty paper. See how she used the Arches dies for her greeting? She turned it sideways and layered it with a second one in Early Espresso.

    I jotted down the measurements for this fun fold card for you.

    • Pecan Pie card base 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″ scored at 2 1/8″ & 4 1/4″, lower z-fold 8 1/2″ X 1 1/4″ scored at 4 1/4″ & 6 3/8″
    • DSP vertical front and inside 1 7/8″ X 5 1/4″
    • DSP horizontal front 4″ X 1″ , inside 2 pieces at 1 7/8″ X 1″
    • Arches; DSP 3″ X 4 1/4″, Early Espresso 3 1/4″ X 4 1/2″, White inside 2 1/4″ X 3 1/2″, greetings 2 1/4″ X 1″

    Here’s the photo of all of the Flowerbug’s Team swaps this month. Aren’t they wonderful?

  • Beautiful Autumn themed card swaps by my Team.


    Today I’m sharing two card swaps by my talented team members. Our theme was Autumn or Halloween.

    First is a stunning card made by Tracey. She used the new Stampin’ Hot Foil system here:

    I was absolutely blown away by this card! She used the Lustrous Leaves hot foil dies seen here. It includes a set of masks that allow you to add gorgeous colors using Blending Brushes.

    Here’s a photo of the bundle:

    Her colors include Lost Lagoon with Crisp Cantaloupe. The silver hot foil details really makes the leaves stand out!

    The greeting is stamped on a Spotlight on Nature die-cut. See those here.

    Next is a sweet fall card made by Candy.

    She used the Simple Leaves bundle seen here.

    Her colors include Very Vanilla, Crumb Cake, Berry Burst and Old Olive. The neat embossing folder is called Textured Tree Ring and can be found here. It’s on the Last Chance list and available while supplies last. It’s reduced in price too!

    I’ll share another Team swap card tomorrow; stay tuned!
