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.

  • Spotlight on Nature fun fold card; free project sheet & video tutorial


    Today I'm sharing the second card I created on last week's Live video.  Both feature new in colors and the Spotlight on Nature bundle. 

    I created a free project sheet with the measurements, photos and supplies.  Click on the blue link to print or download it. Download Spotlight on Nature flap fold

    The Spotlight on Nature bundle is out of stock right now but will be back in a few weeks. It is discounted an extra 10% in June for a savings of almost $6. See it here.  

    This card really shows off the two embossing folders I used.  On the card below I used the Dotted Circles 3D folder seen here. It's an extra large folder (6" X 8 1/2") that has very deep texture.  It's Shy Shamrock with Pretty in Pink. The designer paper is the Unbounded Beauty. 

    The card below features the Eyelet 3D folder which is quite pretty & delicate. See it here. This card is Petunia Pop with Shy Shamrock. 

    Do you notice the difference in the greetings?  I fussy cut one to add to the In Color Glimmer paper and the other I simply trimmed the ends at an angle. 

    I hope you watch the video below to see how it's done.  I also share another fun fold card using this bundle. Don't forget to subscribe to my YouTube channel while you're there.

  • Spotlight on Nature unique Z-fold card with video & free project sheet


    I shared this unique & easy fun fold card on last week's Live video.  

    It doesn't look like a fun fold card does it?  I featured it at my May Card Clubs.  I love the way the detailed die is popped up on Dimensionals which shows off the die-cut pattern. There's a simply trick to stamp over the die-cut after you cut out the die shape; watch the video to learn how. 

    It features three new In Colors and the Spotlight on Nature bundle. The colors include Pretty in Pink, Shy Shamrock & Peach Pie. I colored in the butterfly & flowers with Pretty in Pink & Peach Pie blends.  Want to know how to do this?  Watch the video here or below. I love combining two colors like this!

    The Spotlight on Nature bundle is out of stock right now but will be back in a few weeks. It is discounted an extra 10% in June too! See it here.  

    I'm calling it a Z-fold because the inside White layer is folded like a 'Z'. It connects the card front and the card base & opens like this:

  • More Thoughtful Journey showcase cards!


    Today I'm sharing the other two cards Judith made with the Thoughtful Journey Suite.  I shared three yesterday and am so proud of the fabulous projects she created!

    This stunning fun fold card is incredible!  I loved it so much I had to case it. 

    I made a different version along with a video tutorial too.  Click here to see it and the free project tutorial too.  I am not providing measurements here in this post since they're in the link above. 

    Here's the front view of her card: 

    And here is the back view. 

     

    She used the pretty Thoughtful Wishes bundle seen here. It's on sale now – 20% off in June! 

    I'm not surprised that the pretty Thoughtful Journey designer paper is unavailable right now. I featured it in my June card kit to go posting next week.  It should be back around June 24th. 

    Next is the last card in her bundle of gorgeousness.  

    Do you see how she fussy cut a second layer of designer paper and another set of flowers to pop up over the first?  Great technique!  I love how she added attention to the greeting with a frame made from the Perennial Postage dies seen here. 


    Thank you sooo much for sharing your creativity with us Judith!
