New Inked & Tiled in a Book Binding Easel fun fold card; video tutorial & measurements too!


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!  

You can watch me make this card on the video here. Or click on the photo below to watch.

  • Fun Team swaps with new In Colors!


    Today my husband and I are off to Orlando for the 2025 Stampin' Up! incentive trip.  We're pretty excited to be there and see all of our SU friends. *less than 1% of SU demonstrators earn the incentive trip each year and I am so blessed to be one of them!  Thank you all for your support!!

    Sharon made this super fun card for our May Team swap. She used all 5 new In Colors!

    The circle die-cuts are from the Spotlight on Nature dies seen here.  These dies are a 'must have' in my opinion.  I love how she used them as the focal point of her card.  She was inspired by a purchased card she received and is using this card to introduce the new in colors to her customers.  She used the Plaster Painting embossing folder on the White layer. 

    She added even more dies to the inside!  

    ~~~

    Next is a pretty card made by Marla. She chose to feature the Beautiful Gallery suite seen here.  

    She die-cut the pretty leaves with the Beautiful Motifs dies seen here. These dies are pretty special as some of them only cut out partially which allows for some neat effects. 

    Then she cut a frame from the Gallery Blooms dies seen here.  Once she added the Secret Sea frame over the Cloud Cover die-cut she pulled a few of the leaves to the front, over the frame edge.  Genius!  

    The designer papers are from the Beautiful Gallery 6 X 6" DSP stack seen here.  And even her gems are from this suite! 

    Here's the inside view.  

    Measurements:

    • Card base – Vanilla – 8 1/2" X 5 1/2" scored at 1 1/2" & 4 1/4". 
    • DSP on the inside left 2 5/8" X 5 1/2", on the right 1 5/8" X 5 1/2" 
    • Cloud Cover layer is 2 1/2" X 4"

  • New In Color samples with Impressions Abloom


    I made these cards for my In Color display board. The Impressions Abloom bundle is one of my favorites among the new Online Exclusives.  

    This bundle has it all – beautiful images, pretty greetings and amazing die-cuts! 

    It's a 2-step stamp set and has 3 sets of flowers and a set of leaves in images.  I love the greetings and the dies especially.  These pretty ovals are perfect! See the Impressions Abloom bundle here. 

    The new 2025-27 in colors are Darling Duckling, Cloud Cover, Strawberry Slush, Secret Sea and Timid Tiger. The greetings are inked in Secret Sea ink, stamped off once first.  Same with the flower centers. I used Lemon Lime Twist CS for my leaf die-cuts.  The embossing folders are Soft Waves 3D and Dotted Circles 3D. 

    These are my two favorites; Strawberry Slush & Secret Sea.
