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…. 

Save

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!

Save

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!

• The pretty Citrus Blooms dies

  August 28, 2024

  ---

  While I was creating for my Live video projects I wanted to show off the pretty Citrus Blooms dies. 

  Save

  The colors include Night of Navy, White & Old Olive.  I added a small strip of the Mediterranean Blooms DSP under the Greeting of the Season white die-cut label.  See these dies here; you will love them! 

  You can see the two Citrus Bloom dies I used to create this White & Olive frame in the photo below.  I like that stitched die a lot; it can be used alone or with this leafy die. See the Citrus Bloom dies here.

  Below is a video where I share a few more ideas for the Mediterranean Blooms DSP.

• You’ll love this easy sketch idea for a quick & pretty card

  August 27, 2024

  On last week's Live video I focused on the pretty Mediterranean Blooms designer paper and this pretty color combination: 

  Save

  My colors include Lemon Lolly, Night of Navy, White & a touch of green in the pretty Mediterranean Blooms DSP.  It's on sale for a few more days! See it here. 

  The card base is 4 1/4"X 11" scored at 5 1/2". The Lemon Lolly is 4" X 5 1/4", DSP is 2" X 5 1/4", Navy strip 1/4" X 5 1/4" 

  Each month in my Flowerbug's Team we have an optional challenge that features a sketch of color combination. This is the current sketch and it inspired me to create this pretty card. 

  Save

  Card sketches are drawings or images that can help inspire your creativity. They're a starting point. Use the basic design and change it any way you'd like.  

  The greeting is from the Nested Essential dies seen here.  The pretty embossing folder on the Lemon Lolly layer is called Dashing Designs and can be seen here.

  Below is a video where I share a few more ideas for this DSP and the Citrus Blooms dies.
