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!

Pretty Florals fun fold card with video tutorial & free project sheet!

May 5, 2025

Here's one of the cards I shared on last week's video. It' features lots of new products from the 2025-26 Annual Catalog. Yay! This catalog & lost of new product goes live tomorrow!

My colors include Misty Moonlight with Timid Tiger and White. The floral stamp set is called Pretty Florals and will be available on May 6th. The greeting is from the Blooming Phrases set.

I believe this fun fold is called a diamond fold. It starts out with a 11" X 4 1/4" card base with two score lines. Where the diamond layers are added is the second score line. Simply trim off the excess on the left side of the diamond layers. *watch the video here to understand

This is one of those cards where the video helps you more than a tutorial does. Please watch the video below to understand how this fold works.

Yay! My New Catalog Launch Party is tomorrow!

May 2, 2025
With each new catalog I host an open house for my local customers. I love prepping for these because it gets my display boards done. The best part is that I get to see people I don't get see regularly. It's a joy to watch friends meet up and visit while browsing the new catalog. I also truly enjoy planning my menu and treating them to lots of yummy food.
