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!

We made these projects at a recent Stampin' Up! event called OnStage@Home. A virtual event filled with fun and demonstrations.

This first card is bright & colorful. Lively & fun.

The stamp set is photopolymer so I could bend the normally straight greeting into a curve!  The colors are Daffodil Delight, Poppy Parade, black and a bit of Pool Party. I made a bunch to use as thank you cards.

Bee My Valentine sneak peak projects! With a free project sheet

November 30, 2023

There's a new bundle coming in January with the 2024 Spring catalog! It's called 'Bee My Valentine' and it's super fun!

Save

I LOVE the builder punch and how versatile it is. The large heart shape is for the wings, but could be used as a heart too. The small heart works on it's own or for the antenna. The bee body could be a word bubble!

We made this adorable card at a recent Team gathering called OnStage @ Home.

Save

The colors include Poppy Parade, Pool Party, Daffodil Delight, Black & White. The bee wings are made from our Vellum cardstock, colored with Pool Party ink by pressing the ink pad directly to the paper. I heat set the color with a heat tool before I stamped the wings in Black. Vellum does not absorb ink quickly so heat setting with a heat tool can be necessary.

You can spy a few new products here – the Bee Mine designer paper (side strips) and the new Poppy Parade ribbon.

I made a bunch of them to use as thank you cards:

More Magical Meadow fun fold cards by Judith

November 29, 2023

Yesterday I shared the cards Judith made as our Team Artist of the Month and today I'm sharing more. She did a wonderful job highlighting the Magical Meadow bundle and the Winter Meadow designer paper.

All of her cards have been fun folds; she does like to make fancy fold cards.

Save

This card features a center greeting layer that enfolds both front layers of her gatefold card. She left it removeable so the recipient can add it or leave it off. You can adhere it if you'd like; I usually add it to the left side.

The gorgeous leaves & berries image was done with markers; it coordinates with the Magical Meadow dies perfectly! She used the Deckled Circle dies seen here.

Below is the inside view with the center layer separate.

Save

Next is another fun fold card I call a double-flap card. She used the same sheet of Winter Meadow as the card above.

Save

She scored the right side of her double layered circles and adhered the scored flap under the inside layers. Clever!

The greeting layers are from the Autumn Leaves dies and of course she used the beautiful White & Silver mesh ribbon – all from the 2023 Holiday catalog.

Save

Thank you for sharing these beautiful projects with us Judith!
