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!

Curvy Christmas; paired with the Curvy Dies

November 13, 2020

I've always loved the look of curves and swirls so these new Curvy Celebrations products are right up my alley. I've made so many projects I could share one each day for weeks!

Save

Here's one of my favorites.

Save

See what I mean? The curves make this project 'stand out' special.

My colors are Night of Navy, Sahara Sand and White. The designer paper is from the new Classic Christmas 6 X 6" pack seen here. This is only available through January 4th or while supplies last.

The same is true for the Curvy Christmas stamp set seen here. It will not be in the upcoming catalog so get it now while you can.

Save

As you can see I cut two pieces of Navy card stock using the dotted curved die. I heat embossed the greeting and the long stars image. I die-cut two White sprigs from the same Curvy Dies and added them with a double Linen Thread bow.

Here's another great reason to get any of these items now; everyone who places an online order (or orders any of the Curvy Celebrations items) will receive a free 22 project PDF full of ideas for their new products!

I chose to get it all at once with the entire Curvy Celebrations bundle seen here.

Here are some sneak peaks of the projects in the free PDF:
