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!

April’s card kit to go

I chose to use the Well Dressed designer paper for my card kit to go this month. This paper is full of stylish images and soft florals.

This month's kit includes 4 unique fun-fold cards but you get two of each! Plus I added an adorable pre-cut bag filled with mini cards too! Look!

Save

Each card is finished differently giving you lots of options! This kit to go includes $20 in product plus more!
- a full package of the 6 X 6" Best Dressed designer series paper seen here.
- 1 full spool of Mint 3/8" satin ribbon
- a full package of Pearl jewels
- a pdf tutorial for all 8 fun fold cards plus the purse and mini cards
- the pre-cut kit! It includes pre-cut, punched and die-cut pieces ready to stamp and assemble.
- You'll cut your own designer paper using the measurements in the tutorial.

I used the Dressed to Impress, Butterfly Gala and Peaceful Moments stamp sets to finish mine. In the tutorial I give you two examples of each card so you can make either or both. Add on either stamp set or bundle at a 10% discount!

You have two choices: get the pre-kit to go which includes the pdf tutorial. Or opt to purchase the pdf tutorial alone.

You can see and purchase both here on my Tutorial Shop. Be sure to opt in by Friday, April 17th!

Music From the Heart; in a rainbow of colors!

April 8, 2020
I saw a card like this online made by Diane Barnes and had to make it for my friend Becky's workshop a few weeks ago. She loves color! It's made with the Music From the Heart stamp set seen here. It's just $17!

Save

We stamped the treble clef multiple times and the greeting on a separate piece of White CS. Then we fussy cut the words apart and colored each one with a Blends marker.

The rainbow of sponged colors are done on another piece of card stock measuring 4 1/4" X 5 1/2"; the same size as the finished card. Our sponge daubers work perfectly here. It looks pretty messy but you are only seeing a 'peek' of in on the edge so it really doesn't matter much. It's the rainbow of colors you're wanting on the edge.

Measurements:
- White full card 5 1/2" X 8 1/2"
- White sponged layer is 4 1/4" X 5 1/2"
- White stamped layer is 3 3/4" X 5 1/2"
Details:
- Ink colors are Real Red, Pumpkin Pie, Daffodil Delight, Granny Apple Green, Pacific Point, Gorgeous Grape.
- Blends colors are Real Red, Pumpkin Pie, Daffodil Delight, Granny Apple Green, Light Navy, Dark Highland Heather

The cute Little Ladybug stamp set from the Sale-a-Bration promotion was very popular; everyone wanted it! It was free with a $300 order but that was difficult for many people to achieve.
