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!

Another ‘WOW’ card swap with the Beautiful Butterflies stained glass technique

July 18, 2025
Today I have another stunning Team card swap made by Tracey featuring Window Sheets. She featured the Beautiful Butterflies bundle seen here:

Save

Her colors include Shy Shamrock with Petunia Pop, Black, White & Gold embossing.

Here's how she made this card:
1. Texture the White layer with the Hybrid embossing folder; add to the Petunia layer and the card base.
2. Ink the butterfly image in Versamark and stamp on the Window sheet. Heat emboss with Gold embossing powder. Die-cut with the coordinating die. *she did say some of the embossing powder on the edge frayed off when it went through the die-cut.
3. Color the back of the butterfly with Blends markers. Adhere to the White cardstock layer with Foam Strip adhesive in the center only. Add the center 'body' die-cut.
4. Heat emboss the greeting onto the Black strip with White embossing powder. Finish with gems.
Here's the full bundle that includes stamps, dies and a Hybrid embossing folder. What is a 'Hybrid Embossing folder? It's where you can cut AND emboss/texture at the same time!

Save

And look how she finished the inside! She used the Baby Wipe technique to achieve a multi-colored butterfly.

Thanks so much for your gorgeous card Tracey!

Blending tips with this cute Cheers & Sips card; video & free project sheet too!

July 16, 2025

Today I'm sharing a pretty & bright color combo for this cheery card using the Cheers & Sips stamp & die bundle. I made it on last week's Live video.

Save

The colors include Peach Pie with Melon Mambo. It's a simple layout but the stamped images sure make it special.

The circle die-cut is from the Spotlight on Nature dies. I stamped the images in Black Memento ink and colored them in with our Blends markers. I love them because you rarely get any lines when coloring. If you like to color you NEED the Blends markers! Watch the video to see how to blend easily.

I created a free project sheet with measurements & a supplies list. Click on the following link to print or download it. Download Cheers to You card

The Cheers & Sips dies are currently out of stock but they'll likely be back around July 14th. See the bundle here

Below is the video for this card and TWO more with this neat bundle and the coordinating Celebratory Sips DSP seen here. I love this colorful & unique paper; it's something completely different!
