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!
