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!

Snowman Peek-a-Boo card with video

January 3, 2020

This interactive card is fun& adorable and my gals loved it at our December club events.

They were anxious that it would be difficult. There is a little trick to it but once you 'get it' you'll find it's pretty easy.

I cased this card from my very creative friend, Julie Davison. Her style is simple yet fun. Her layouts are the best!

My color scheme came from the Let it Snow specialty designer paper from the Holiday catalog. Unfortunately that paper is out of stock. It was VERY popular! It's Coastal Cabana, Real Red, White and Black.

My colors are Blushing Bride, White and Granny Apple Green. I used the new Coastal Weave embossing folder from the Mini catalog, the Stitched Nested Label dies too.

I curled the little petals up with my bone folder and added the Gingham Gala adhesive-backed sequins to the center.

Happy New Year! Highlights video from my home office visit for MDA

Today is my New Catalog Open House and BOGO sale; I am so excited to be able to offer the wonderful deals to my local customers. It's from 1-3:30 pm in my Minot ND studio.

If I have lots leftover I may offer them to my long distance customers. We'll see how it goes!

This last year has been an incredible one for me as a Stampin' Up! demonstrator. The highlight was achieving the Million Dollars in sales Achievement. Stampin' Up! makes a big deal of it and I enjoyed every minute of the two days spent in Utah!

Here's a short video of my trip to the home office in Riverton, Utah. I was SO nervous but honestly everyone there is so kind and lovely we had a wonderful time and after my 'speech' all was good!

Thank you to everyone who has been a part of my 14 year journey. Whether you are a customer, follower, Flowerbug's Team member, fellow demonstrator, friend or anything else; you helped make this fun and rewarding!

I love what I do and appreciate you all!
