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…. 

Inked & Tiled cruise 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!

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!

  • A neat way to show off your Designer Paper with this easy layout

    Here's one more special card  made with the Nests of Winter designer series paper.  This paper can be seen in the 2024 Holiday catalog by Stampin' Up! 

    I shared this card in a recent video along with two other fun fold cards. Scroll down to see it.

    The colors are Gray Granite & Cajun Craze. I thought the textured CS strip with twine wrapped around it was the perfect addition to this pretty scene.  This folder is called Birch Wood. The greeting is from the Unbounded Love stamp set. 

    I like that you can really show off your Designer Paper as well as add texture with the strip of CS beside it. This would make a great card layout to mass produce!

  • A Pretty Nests of Winter Diagonal fold card from the upcoming Holiday catalog

    Release of Close to My Heart products today! 

    If you didn't realize it, Stampin' Up! purchased product from Close to My Heart Earlier this year and have taken on any CTMH Makers that wanted to continue promoting stamping & scrapbooking products.  In the future we will be offering a larger line of Scrapbooking products!  This is great news for scrappers! Super Exciting!! 

    Before we get to today's project, I wanted you to be aware of some new products in the Online Store today. These items includes former Close to My Heart products that have only been available to CTMH customers until today. Know that these items will likely sell out fast as there isn't a large quantity of products.  

    See it all here. 

    And now for some stamping projects – I love everything about this card!  

    Winterly diagonal Save

    It features a brand new suite called Nests of Winter which is seen in the upcoming 2024 Holiday catalog. We made it at a team meeting a few months ago and I shared it and two other cards on last week's Live video. 

    The birds & branch are from the Nests of Winter designer paper, as well as the birch paper too.  So pretty!  My large circle is from the Spotlight on Nature dies which are currently unavailable (for the umpteenth time!).

    It's almost a fun fold;  it's basically a standard Pool Party card that has the front panel cut off on the diagonal.  The designer paper starts out at 4" X 5 1/4" and is cut on the diagonal for 2 cards. Tip – make sure you cut it at the right angle – from bottom right to upper left.  (I did it wrong and wasted a piece) 

    Here's the inside view:

    This die-cut circle is from the Deckled Circle dies seen here. They're available only in the Online store right now.

    If you like layers it has tons of them! The very back of the card is a quarter sized piece and then there's a 11" X 4 1/4" folded layer that is attached over it. It's really neat and quite simple as well.  I created a project sheet for it too which you can see below.

    My colors include Garden Green, White & Moody Mauve. The Designer Paper is from the Wildly Flowering pack in the annual catalog. 

    That pretty greenery die-cut is from the Winterly Tree Tops bundle in the 2024 Holiday Catalog.  I colored it in with Blends markers. The circle & greeting layers are sponged lightly with green ink.
