New Inked & Tiled in a Book Binding Easel fun fold card; video tutorial & measurements too!

I'm just a little bit in love with this special fun fold layout!  I've made three versions of it this month…. 

Inked & Tiled cruise Save

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!

  • Fantastic Team swaps with Botanical Textures suite

    Today I have three fantastic swaps made by my Flowerbug's Team; all featuring the Botanical Textures suite from our online store.  Did you know we have a huge selection of items that are not seen in any printed catalog?  They're called Online Exclusives and you can see them all here.  

    This first card was made by Kim for her Card Club swap.  I had to share it with you because I thought it was so neat.  She used Black, White and Lemon Lime Twist. 

    Botanical Textures Kim P Save

    Her stamped images are from the Textured Notes stamp set.  The cute hexagon gems are new and seen in our 2025-26 Annual Catalog.  

    Next is a fabulous fancy fold card made by Rita. She also used this same Botanical Textures DSP along with Petunia Pop card stock. 

    May Rita Botanical Save

    She used the Bright Borders stamp set and the To the Point punch. This punch has been out of stock for months!  I hope it comes back soon.  It is expected around June 2nd. 

    Here's the view when it's open: 

    May Rita Botanical Save

    The card base is 11" X 5 1/2".  It's scored at 1 3/4", 3 1/2", 5 1/4" & 7".  Then it's trimmed horizontally at 1" from the upper and lower edges but only from the 1 3/4" and 5 1/4" score lines. 

    The DSP is 6 3/4" X 5 1/4".  

    It looks like she adhered the DSP and then cut the slits open with a paper trimmer.  So cool!  No difficulty measuring your layers  when you do it this way.

    Lastly today is Ginny's card made with the Woven Textures DSP and the Textured Notes bundle.  I love these products; one of my favorites from the online store!

    Her colors include Early Espresso and Crumb Cake.  She used five different dies from the Textured Notes dies!  I especially like the frame in the center, highlighting that pretty DSP.  

    Below is the inside view stamped with textural images from the Textured Notes stamp set.
