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.

  • Fabulous 1 sheet box for A2 cards with a free project sheet & video too!


    I shared the coolest box on last week's video. It is made from 1 sheet of designer paper! 

    It fits six A2 sized cards and envelopes inside. It's the perfect way to gift cards to someone. 

    I used the Sunny Days Sale-a-Bration paper for the box and the cards too.  Of course Sale-a-Bration is now over but hopefully you ordered this beautiful paper.  If not you can substitute any other designer paper. 

    I created a free project sheet for this easy box and the cards too!  See it below. There's also a template for it but it will help you to watch the video too.  Click here to watch it. Be sure to follow me on YouTube here. 

    Each of the cards are an easy fun fold layout.  I'll share measurements here too but they are included in the project sheet too.

    This first one is a fun version of a book-binding card fold. Just add one more piece of card stock and you have a whole new card layout! 

    Measurements: Petal Pink card 11" X 4 1/4" score at 2 1/8", 4 1/4" & 5 1/2". 2nd piece is 3 1/4" X 4", White inside 2" X 4". DSP – large panel is 3" X 4", left is 1" X 4" & right is 2" X 4"

    This next card has the designer paper as the card front; attached to the front flap. Love this and how you can see both sides of our pretty paper!

    Measurements: Poppy Parade card 5 1/4" X 5 1/2" score at 4 1/4". DSP – 1 piece at 3/4" X 5 1/2", 1 piece at 4" X 5 1/2". Petal Pink CS is 4" X 1"

    This is a great fold that uses the trimmed off card base as the front panel. Love this one!!

    See how I decorated my envelopes to match the cards!  This really elevates your projects and makes them extra special. 

    Measurements: Pool Party cards – 11" X 4 1/4" score at 5 1/2"; cut off one end at 2 3/4". DSP 1 piece at 2" X 4", 2nd piece at 4" X 3"

    Click on the link to download or print the free project sheet.  It has measurements, step by step directions and a supplies list too.  Download 1 sheet box with 6 cards & envelopes

    Below is the video you can watch.  I share a second version of this box & cards using the Softly Sophisticated designer paper. I'll share details on this box & cards tomorrow.

  • New Online Exclusives are available starting Tuesday! Who loves coffee?


    Next week Tuesday, March 5th, the new Online Exclusives are available to order!  Click here to see the selection available now.  It will update with the new items Tuesday. 

    There will be over 20 brand new products in the Online Exclusives offering!  There are two adorable new designer papers, many new stamps sets & bundles plus an embossing folder and new gems. *these are available while supplies last.

    Today I'm sharing a card I created for an online card swap. It features the new A Little Latte designer paper and a new stamp bundle called The Little Things. 

    Details:

    • My colors include Lost Lagoon, Early Espresso, White & Pecan Pie.
    • The Little Things stamp set features a few larger words – outline & solid images plus many smaller greetings that fit the banner dies in the bundle. 
    • I stamped the coffee splatters background in Versamark ink
    • The coffee cups are fussy cut
    • Measurements: DSP is 4 1/2" X 2 1/4", Espresso layer 4 3/4" X 2 1/2", Pecan Pie strip 1 3/4" X 4 1/4", White greeting is 4 3/4" X 3/4" 

    There are a few sheets of the A Little Latte designer paper that feature cups of coffee.  I used both types on my cards below fussy cutting them.  I actually enjoy fussy cutting easy images out. 

    The above photo shows the new Happy Little Things bundle – it has two new banner dies that coordinate with the smaller greetings in the set.  I was surprised at how easy it was to stamp the solid 'Celebrate' to match the outline image. Out of all of  my 16 cards I only had to stamp one over.  

    These were fun cards to make for a swap; cute but not too time consuming!
