I belong to a private Facebook group of about 16 SU demonstrators. Each month we design 1 card and tutorial to add to the group. These are then compiled. We can use these as we wish. These demonstrators are located across the USA and Canada. I choose to share my large tutorial with my Luv 2 Create team and with my customers. I love being able to share these.
This is the card that I created for August. I used the Inked & Tiled stamp set from the annual catalog. There is a little fussy cutting, but it's easy cutting.
I'm not going to go through all the directions here, but I will link the tutorial. Find it Download Inked & Tiled - August 2023 (1)
I hope you enjoy the tutorial. I'll be sending out the tutorial collection for August later in the month by email. Meanwhile, here are a few more pictures.
Thank you for joining me today. I think this card is so pretty. I'll add a supply list next. I am an independant Stampin' Up! demonstrator and I do sell these products. Let me know if I can help!

Product List
The background stamps are on pages 118 and 119 of the Stampin' Up! Annual Catalog. That's where you will find the Berry Harvest stamp set. Don't you love blackberries!
This card starts with Berry Burst cardstock cut to 5 1/2 x 8 1/2. Score and fold at 4 1/4. Stamp over the front of the card with the Berry Harvest stamp set in the same color Berry Burst. That's a lot of berries!
Stamp another sheet of Basic White that is 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 in Memento Black. Pick some of the areas on this sheet to color. Think about how it would be to cut out using your Paper Snips. It will all be fussy cutting. I color the leaves with the Parakeet Party Blends Combo. The berries are colored in the Berry Burst Blends Combo. I did use the Color Lifter to take away some of the color of the berries in places. This adds a little more interest.
I used the Nested Essentials to cut the largest tag piece in Basic White. Wrap the Crumb Cake twine around near the top of the panel 3 times and tape it on the back. This twine comes from the Baker's Twine Essentials Pack. Make a bow with the same twine and add it to the front with a rolled up glue dot. Add the panel to the side of the card with dimensionals.
Add the berries and stems that you colored and cut wherever you want them. On the panel, glue the berries. On the card itself, add the berries and leaves with dimensionals. Put dimensionals under the parts that extend past the panel.
The saying for this card is from the Translucent Florals stamp set. This set is in the upcoming Sept-Oct Mini Catalog (holiday catalog). Stamp in Berry Burst on a half in strip and notch the end. Add using glue and dimensionals.
Finish up with some of the Adhesive Backed Sparkly Gems.
This is the inside of the card. The saying is Translucent Florals. I cut additional pieces of the stems and berries. and added them. Oh, by the way, the single partial leaf covers a smudge. The other berries were at an edge but I used them anyway!
Thanks so much for taking the time to visit me. If you need a demonstrator I would love to help you! The list of products is below.

Well, you can't like every card that you create. I don't like this one. I do like parts of it, and that's why I'm sharing it with you. It might just be the pink because I don't really like pink. I mailed this card to a friend. I did explain that I wasn't proud of it. I did spend a lot of time trying to improve it. Then I just stopped. My friend does like pink.
This card has a Moody Mauve base. The fun fold starts with a piece that is 4 1/4 x 11. Score this at 4 1/4 and 8 1/2.
The small area folds forward and becomes the base for the easel part to rest. When closed, this part folds up into the card inside.
The front of the card has a piece of Bubble Bath that measures 4 1/8 x 4 1/8. The designer paper is 4 x 4. Add these layers. The Earthen Elegance Designer Series Paper is used with this card. NOTE: You can cut out the wreath for the front of the card from the layer under the designer paper if you are careful to save paper!!!
The wreath is cut from the Natural Prints dies from Bubble Bath cardstock. The cutout from Lost Lagoon is from the Earthen Textures dies. The other stems in Coastal Cabana are from the Natural Prints dies as well as the Moody Mauve cut out.
The bow is made using the 2023-2025 In Color Jute Trim. I pulled the strands apart for the Moody Mauve jute. I think I used 2 of the strands for the bow. Add it with a glue dot.
For the inside of the card, I used a layer of Bubble Bath 4 1/8 x 4 1/8 (as on the outside) and a layer of Basic White 4 x 4. I added a stem in Lost Lagoon from the Natural Prints dies. The saying is from Wildlife Wonder.
For the base of the easel, the Bubble Bath cardstock is 2 3/8 x 4 1/8. The Earthen Elegance designer paper is 2 1/4 x 4. The saying is from the Country Bouquet stamp set. Stamp the saying on Basic White in Moody Mauve and cut around it. I then glued the saying to a piece of Moody Mauve cardstock and trimmed around it. Place this near the edge and use dimensionals to elevate it.
If the easel has a little trouble working as you wish. Burnish those folds with your Bone Folder again and play with it.
The finished card is 4 1/4 x 4 1/4.
Thanks. If you have a comment about the card, please leave it. Just remember that at the beginning I told you that I don't like it. Please be kind! My list of products used is listed below. Clicking can take you to my online store.

I hope this post finds you well. I also hope that you find time in your busy world to stamp. For me, stamping is my happy place. Today I'm sharing the Inked & Tiled stamp set with Pebbled Path and Boho Blue, 2 of our new In Colors.
I needed a card that didn't take a lot of time. I'm sure this happens to you as well. This card fits the bill. The base is Pebbled Path cut to 5 1/2 x 8 1/2 and folded at 4 1/4.
The Boho Blue layer is measures 4 1/8 x 5 3/8.
The white layer is 3 7/8 x 5 1/8. Add to the left of this paper a piece of Pebbled Path that is 1 1/2 x 5 1/8. Over the right of that paper, add a 1/4 inch piece of Boho Blue designer paper from the same 2023-2025 In Color 6 x 6 Designer Series Paper. I suggest that you add the designer paper to the white BEFORE you add that layer to the card front.
We are going to add color to the stamp from Inkded and Tiled by using the Stampin' Write Markers directly on the stamp. Use the larger end of the marker on the stamp. Color by using the side of the marker so that you don't ruin the point of the marker. Use Boho Blue for the flowers and Pebbled Path for the stems and leaves. When done coloring huff on the stamp to add a little moisture and stamp.
Stamp the saying from Inked & Tiled in Pebbled Path.
I used the 2023-2025 In Color Jute Trim for my bow. I pulled apart the strands, and then tied my bow. Add it with a glue dot.
Embellish the card with the Adhesive-Backed Solid Gems.
Here's the inside of my card. My Pebbled Path ink pad is very juicy so I stamped off the leaf stamp from Inked & Tiled. For the other stamp, color directly on the stamp with Stampin' Write Markers.
Thanks so much for stopping by today. I hope you can use the information that I shared. I am a Stampin' Up! independant demonstator. I'm so happy to help you if you don't already have a demonstrator. Let me know how I can help!
