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!

Wow! Halloween Scenic cards with Life is Beautiful stamp set with video!

September 16, 2020

I am pretty pleased of these two cards I shared on Facebook Live yesterday. I've been wanting to make some spooky Halloween cards with my Life is Beautiful stamp set and think they turned out amazing, IF I do say so myself!

Save

This first one features a bright, white moon with a halo of purple around it. I used a 2" circle punched 'mask' and sponged the Rich Razzleberry and Pacific Point background. You can get my easy sponging tips in the video below.

Save

Here I created a window scene with the Stitched Rectangle and Plaid Builder dies. I share my quick method of creating this window in the video below.

Save

I LOVE creating scenes with sponged backgrounds and the Life is Beautiful stamp set is perfect for it! I used the following inks on the card above: Pacific Point, Rich Razzleberry, Black, Craft White and Pretty Peacock.

Do you like the White clouds? I used the same image on the ground as I did on the clouds. Love the versatility of this stamp! The pumpkins and greeting are from the Banner Year stamp set.

Save

The colors above are Smoky Slate, Black and Pumpkin Pie. I used a bit of Magic in This Night DSP, the Cobweb embossing folder and Plaid Builder, Stitched Rectangles and Ornate Frames dies. The little birds are from the Mountain View stamp set.

I hope you enjoy watching the video below!

Customize your cards with the Playful Alphabet!

September 15, 2020
Who doesn't like a customized card WITH your name on it! You won't find that at Hallmark! Use the Playful Alphabet dies to create a one of a kind card.

I made this for my granddaughter Eliza. She is almost 7 and loves anything with her name on it.

Save

The color palette was chosen by the designer paper Playing with Patterns. It's full of bright, unique colors and patterns. In fact, behind her name is a piece of the paper. The gradation of colors sure fits the card well doesn't it?

I used the Stitched Nested Label dies. I cut out the letters from the White die-cut and popped that up over a strip of the DSP. I added some Seal Plus to the bottom edge and pressed my ribbon onto that in small loops.

Her favorite color is turquoise; just like mine! I chose two pieces of Designer paper for the card front and separated them with a strip of Crushed Curry. You can see these products below in my store.
