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….

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!

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.

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!

Jar of Flowers Double Flap Fun-fold card with video!

June 26, 2020
The Jar of Flowers bundle is pretty neat and easy to create wonderful cards with. We made these cards at my June card clubs. It was sooo great getting together with my gals again. North Dakota is open to events again but we are still being cautious too.

You can really see the details on the card in this close up view. That neat texture is the Tasteful Textile 3D embossing folder. The colors are Misty Moonlight with Bumblebee and the In Good Taste designer paper.

There are sooo many wood, texture and patterns in this big pack of In Good Taste paper. It is amazing! Here's a good view of this paper.

Here's another version of the card using the jar and water image but the flowers are from the Tasteful Touches stamp set. This card was for those who didn't want to color. We added punched flowers using the Confetti Flowers Border punch seen here. After punching we added a dot of Navy ink for the centers.

Save

For this fold all I did was trim off an inch from the card front and add a flap that is hidden by the strip of In Good Taste DSP. This flap is what the front panel is adhered to. Watch the video below!

The cards are finished off with a greeting from the Lovely You bundle – this is one of my favorite bundles! I love the Pick a Punch and the Lovely You stamp set is full of wonderful greetings.

Measurements:
- Bumblebee card 5 1/2" X 7 1/2" scored at 4 1/4"
  In Good Taste DSP 1" X 5 1/2"
  White – front and inside 4 1/8" X 3", scrap for greeting is 1/2" wide
  Misty Moonlight 3 1/4" X 4 3/8", flap is 1 3/4" X 3 1/2" scored at 1/2"

Blossoms in Bloom; puzzling it together?

June 25, 2020

Here's an incredible card featuring the Blossoms in Bloom bundle made by my Flowerbug's team member Jacki for a new catalog card swap.

Save

I just love these colors together; Just Jade and Misty Moonlight.

Can you tell that she stamped the large floral image on her White CS using Misty Moonlight? Then she added die-cut layers in White, Misty Moonlight and Just Jade. Yes; she cut out three dies for each card and puzzle fit them over the stamped image!!! Amazing, but stunning!

If you want to see this bundle online, click here.

I believe she cased this card from Pinterest; made by Mary Detherage.

Colorful Sunflowers the easy way!

June 23, 2020
Marilyn made this pretty card with the Celebrate Sunflowers stamp set (seen here) for one of our latest Flowerbug's Team swaps. I believe she found the idea on Pinterest. I love how it features 4 of our new In Colors!

Save

The card base is Bumblebee. She added Black card stock and ink to pull the colors together. Here is a tip: stamp the sunflower on 4 different colored squares and then cut them into smaller squares. You'll get enough stamped pieces for 4 cards!

Measurements:
- Bumblebee card base 5 1/2" X 8 1/2"
- White – 5 1/4" X 4"
- Black 3 3/4" square
- Just Jade, Magenta Madness, Cinnamon Cider and Bumblee – 3 1/2" squares for stamping. Then cut into 1 3/4" squares to puzzle piece on each card.
