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.

  • Accordion Style Fun-Fold card with video


    Here's another easy fun fold card that shows off all sides of your designer series paper.  And uses up thin strips too! 

    I made them during my weekly 'Stamp With Me' Facebook Live last week.  

    I chose to use the Brights 6 X 6" designer paper pack and the Many Mates stamp set.  

    Aren't they fun?  The back is flat and does not open.  You could include a full card base on it instead of a flat piece if you'd like.  I will write or sign the inside on the larger White part.

    You might notice there are dots around some of the punched pieces.  I used my Blends markers to add that fun detail.  I also colored in some of the words on the greetings too.  This stamp set is fun! 

    When you adhere the greeting on the front add adhesive to just the very top flap. 

    Measurements:
    Card base: 5 1/2" X 4 1/4"
    next layer 5 1/4" X 4", textured
    White accordion fold 4 1/4" X 9" scored at 1", 2", 4" and 6"
    Designer paper – 3 pieces 4" tall. 3/4", 1 1/4" and 2 3/4"
     
    Supplies:
    Stamps – Many Mates
    Ink – Gorgeous Grape, Pacific Point, Bermuda Bay, Flirty Flamingo, Black Memento
    Card stock – Brights DSP, Gorgeous Grape, Bermuda Bay, Flirty Flamingo, Daffodil Delight, Pacific Point, Black
    Punches – Tailored Tag, Label Me Lovely, 2" circle, Lovely You Pick a Punch, Banner Triple
    Other – Blends markers, rhinestone jewels, Dimensionals 

    Below is the video for you.  Enjoy!

  • Easy Diagonal cards; Stamp With Me tonight at 7:30 pm!


    This week I'm highlighting some of the cards I've recently made on Facebook Live.  With two a week there's a lot! 

    Here are the cards for tonight's Facebook Live 'Stamp with Me' here. 

    I chose the pretty Misty Moonlight & Seaside Spray combination for these cards.  I love the two toned look of these In Colors together.  When you add White for a pop of brightness they really shine!  

    Join me here tomorrow night.  Prep the pieces, gather some supplies and we'll stamp together! 

    I used the Queen Anne's Lace stamp set seen here in Misty Moonlight, White & Seaside Spray.
     
    You can really see the Shimmer Crystal Effects on the flowers in this photo! 
     
    Measurements:
    Card bases 4 1/4" X 11" scored at 5 1/2"
    Diagonal pieces (card stock or DSP) 4 1/4" X 5 1/2" cut in half on the diagonal.
    Decorative strips 7 1/2" long X 1/2" – punched or die-cut
    Greeting punches or die-cuts (Ornate Frames, Tasteful Labels & Ornate Border dies) 
     
    Supplies:
    Card stock (I used Misty Moonlight, Seaside Spray, White)
    Stamps of your choice and ink
