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! 

Save

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

Save

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.

• Gathering Moments swap; I love creating my own paper!

  September 4, 2025

  ---

  Here’s a pretty card I made for one of the online swaps I joined last month:

  Save

  I used the new Gathering Moments stamp set with the new Traditional Labels dies.

  The card stock colors are Lost Lagoon, Timid Tiger and Very Vanilla.  Inks are Timid Tiger, Lost Lagoon, Pretty Peacock and Pecan Pie.

  After stamping I used a Blending Brush to add Lost Lagoon ink around the edges and on the greeting die-cut too.

  I love creating cards for swaps!  I find it very relaxing to make multiples of my creations.

  Save

  You can see this stamp set here.  It has a set of dies as well.  See the Traditional Labels dies here.

  I’ll be sharing many more cards with this pretty new bundle next week.
