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!

Wow Team swaps for a fun Coaster Calendar!

November 21, 2024

This month my Flowerbug's Team decided to do a Coaster Calendar swap. This was super fun and quite easy when you could make multiples of the month you chose. I do love swapping!

We could use retired or current products on these swaps which opened up a lot of possibilities for creativity!

The first group are January through June:

Save

This next group is July through December:

Save

They're all 4" square and the layer for the printed calendars (which haven't been added yet here) are 2 1/4" square. We punch holes in the top of each and add two 4" card board coasters to the front and the back for stability. *these were purchased online years ago. The printed calendar was created by my husband and I cut it up into 2" squares.

Here's how I decorated the front of mine: I kept it quite simple; a 4" square piece of Winter Meadow DSP along with a die-cut and the year cut out with number dies. I trimmed the corners to match the coaster.

Save

Here's the next group of swaps; some are the same as those above since a few people did multiple groups of the same month.

These are January through June:

And these are July through December:

Each one is fabulous! I love seeing everyone's personal style.

More swaps from my talented Demo friends

November 20, 2024

I have a few more swaps to share with you today. These are all from our newest Online Exclusive products.

First up is a pretty floral card from Susan Campfield. She used the Happy Hibiscus bundle.

Save

This bundle includes a Hybrid embossing folder that includes dies that coordinate with the folder! It's so cool. You can see it here in my store.

In the photo below you can see the die-cut images that are textured. This is done when the die is inserted into the embossing folder with the card stock. Yes; it is incredible!

Save

The next few cards feature the Marbled Elegance suite:

This first pretty card is made by Natalie Travis who made the focus of her card that gorgeous golden stitched heart.

Save

That pretty heart is die-cut with the Hearts of Elegance dies from our new Brushed Metallic paper in both Gold & Silver. See that here.

Her measurements are simple – the DSP is 4" X 3", a strip of Cherry Cobbler is 4 1/4" X 5/8" on a Pretty in Pink card base.

Next is a gorgeous card made by Sandy Carlson:

Save

Her colors are Melon Mambo with White and the same beautiful Marbled Elegance specialty DSP. She also used the new Hearts of Elegance bundle seen here.

Save

Thanks for stopping in. I hope you're been enjoying the swaps I've shared.

Check out these swap cards from the Otterly Amazing Suite!

November 19, 2024

Save

Two punched circles and a 3 1/2" square of DSP show off the elements in this Otter suite. The colors include Balmy blue, Calypso Coral, Old Olive and Early Espresso.

~~~

This second swap with the Otterly Amazing suite is made by Tracy Jacobs.

Save

She created a fun fold by cutting up to the 5 1/2" score line at 1". That layer is adhered to the back of the card base so only the left card front opens. Simple but 'amazing' too! It really shows off the playful scenes in the Otterly Adorable DSP. See the DSP here.

Below is the bundle with the stamps & dies:

Save

See this Otterly Amazing bundle here. Many of the images in the DSP can be cut out with the Otterly Amazing dies.
