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!

Adorable Card swaps featuring the Otterly Amazing suite

December 19, 2024

Today I'm sharing swaps that feature the adorable Otterly Amazing suite from our recent release of Online Exclusives.

First is a card made by Kelly Acheson.

Save

The placement of her DSP is unique and leaves room for the cute swimming fish at the bottom. She used the coordinating stamp & dies for her otter, coloring it with Blends markers. Her colors include Crumb Cake and Early Espresso.

Next is a fun fold card by Tracy Jacobs.

Save

She made a cut on her card base and adhered the right side down which allowed the left side to open. Her colors include Gray Granite with White.

Measurements – card base 4 1/4" X 11" score at 5 1/2". At the bottom right cut to the score line at the 1" mark. the DSP and inside White layer are 3" X 5 1/4". The punch is the Modern Oval punch from the Annual Catalog.

Save

Lastly we have a sweet card made by Julie Davison.

Save

Her colors include Old Olive, Early Espresso, Balmy Blue & Calypso Coral. She cut the otter from the Otterly Amazing DSP seen here. Her circle punches and angled DSP add a bit of playfulness that matches up with the jumping otter.

See this suite here online.

Cute swaps with the Perfect Pairs

December 18, 2024

Today I'm sharing a few card swaps made by gals in a long distance swap.

First is a card made by Selene Kempton. She is someone I've recently become friends with and I cannot say enough about her huge heart and fun personality.

Save
I love her color choices of Petal Pink with Crumb Cake, White & Early Espresso. Cute layout too! Her cards are often among my favorites. The textured background is made with the Dashing Designs embossing folder seen here.

~~~

This next cute card was made by Kay Cogbill.

Save

She used the Marbled Elegance specialty DSP for the background and as a layer under her main image.

You can find this adorable Perfect Pairs stamp set here. It's in our online exclusives but that just means it's not seen in any printed catalog. Anyone can order these items!

Save

Here's another sample seen online in the SU store. Did you know that when you're looking at our product you can find multiple ideas from their samples?

I'll share more card swaps tomorrow.

Stunning Marbled Elegance swap cards

December 17, 2024

Today I'm sharing some card swaps I received from a mail out swap I participated in. These cards all feature the Marbled Elegance suite seen online here.

First up is a pretty card made by my friend Kelly Acheson:

Save

She added a bunch of gold elements plus a fussy cut 'xoxo' greeting. She heat embossed the greeting, used Gold Foil for her die-cut heart and DSP layer plus the new Twisted Gold thread and Gold Adhesive-backed Hearts. Whew!

~~~

This next card was created by another sweet friend from Minnesota, Kay Kalthoff.

Save

She used the Classic Wedding bundle seen here. So cute! Love the car with the 'just married' banner added to the back.

~~~

Next is a beautiful card made by another Minnesota friend; Sandy Carlson.

Save

Her colors are Melon Mambo with Gold & white. She used two of the heart dies in the bundle plus textured the White square die-cut with the So Swirly embossing folder. I love banners and adding that 2" banner on the left adds a good amount of this Marbled Elegance DSP without overpowering the card.

~~~

Lastly we have a gorgeous card made by my friend Ruth Bingle from Arkansas. We love to hang out together on our SU trips. She's a doll!

Save

Her card has a center flap opening. I didn't get a photo of the inside though. She used the Metal plate folder for her embossed strips on the side. Isn't that gold textured heart die-cut gorgeous!?

I'll share more card swaps tomorrow.
