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…. 

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!  

You can watch me make this card on the video here. Or click on the photo below to watch.

  • January Hearts for You alternative card idea


    Today I'm sharing an alternative project I made with the January Hearts for You Paper Pumpkin kit. 

    Everything you see here is in the kit. The only thing I added was a Real Red Blends marker that I used to change the color of the champagne foil heart to Red.  It's fun to experiment a bit!

    Below you'll see the 9 projects recommended in the kit.  They're gorgeous as is but I like to show alternative ideas just in case you want to get creative with the products.  It is really fun to change things up at times. 

    Once you're a Paper Pumpkin customer you can choose to get any of the extra refills or add on items. The refills do not include the stamps or ink spot but everything else!  And they're usually only $12. Wow!  See this one here

  • A unique fun fold card swap with Hugs for Love with Bloom Impressions


    Tracey made this stunning card for our January Team card swap.  I love her colors and layout so much! 

    Her card layout was inspired by Rachel Tessman and chose to use a Petunia Pop with Blackberry Bliss color combination. 

    She featured the Hugs for Love bundle and the Bloom Impressions designer series paper (free during Sale-a-Bration with a qualifying purchase from Stampin' Up!  See this gorgeous paper here. 

    It's hard to tell in the photo above that it's a fancy fold card isn't it?  

    The right flap tucks under the diagonal Designer Paper and To the Point greeting punches.  

    The measurements for the card base is 8 1/2" X 5 1/2" score at 1 1/4" (fold back) and 5 1/2".  Both front flaps are textured.  

    Below is the Hugs for Love bundle that includes the To the Point punch.  I love, love this punch so much!  *heads up; this punch is now in low inventory; grab it while you can! 

    There's another stamp set that coordinates with this fabulous punch too.  It's called Bright Borders.

  • Make the most of your card stock & DSP with this Timeless Plaid fun fold card


    Today I'm sharing one more easy fun fold card featuring the Timeless Plaid 6" Designer Series Paper.  

    I love this card layout because it makes great use of both your card stock and designer paper.  My colors include Basic Beige with Pretty Peacock.  The greeting and stitched edge die-cut are from the Mixed Labels bundle seen here. 

    The card base is 11" X 4 1/4"; scored at 5 1/2". Trim off one end at 3 1/4" and cut it into a square.  Next add a 3" square of DSP to that. You'll add that as the layer over the left side of the card (after adding a 2" X 4" piece of DSP).  So simple! 

    I shared 3 fun fold cards on last week's video.  If you like fun fold cards I hope you'll access the free project sheets for them all here.
