Open Book Easel Cards

www.serenestamp... The Serene Stamper: TINA ZINCK ~ Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator (CANADA)
♥ Measurements, photos and supply lists can be found on my April 15, 2020 blog post here: www.serenestamp...
I am soooo excited to share today's project with you! At least a year ago (maybe two) I stumbled across a beautiful card online called a "Bookatrix" and I was completely smitten with it. However, it used book dies that we don't carry, but I was determined to recreate this card on my own.
I searched online for more ideas and different ways to make a bookatrix and I tweaked it using our Stampin' Up! products. I also converted the original large card design for our standard 5 1/2" x 4 1/4" cards, so that they could fit inside our envelopes.
After some trial and error, I was thrilled with my final version of this open book easel card and I've been itchin' to share this with YOU! Well, wait no longer my sweet friends, my demonstration - with lots of card samples - is finally ready! I hope you enjoy this video as much as I enjoyed creating it for you!

If you live in CANADA and would like to purchase Stampin' Up! products, you can place your order online at: www.stampinup.c...
♥♥♥ Thank you for your patronage! Every order placed through my online store helps support my business and I am grateful to serve as your demonstrator. FREE TUTORIALS will be emailed to you as a token of my sincere appreciation! xx ♥♥♥

Tina every card I've watched you make is absolutely beautiful, but this one is amazing. I will be making some of these asap. Thank you Sweetie for sharing your extremely beautiful designs. I don't think you have ever shown a card I didn't fall in love with. Love them all.

[@Serenestamper]

Awww, thanks so much Bettye. Your sweet words warm my heart! xx

[@kimarmstrong9161]

Very unique! A gift and card in one! LOVE, LOVE the garden scene!!

[@sandianderson1500]

These are absolutely incredible ! I think my favorite is the butterfly with the flowers, or maybe Grace's Garden. No, the one you demonstrated. I can't decide! They are all fabulous. Your creativity shows no bounds. I love that you figured this out and passed it on to us. Thanks for making our world happy in an otherwise scary time!

April 26, 2020 Update: THANK YOU ALL for your wonderful comments! I am so happy you're all enjoying this tutorial! Regarding mailing these cards: since making this video, I have mailed these cards using standard size envelopes, and the recipients received them perfectly and they weren't squished. I did have to pay a bit more in postage, but not too much. ❤

Lovely. You are an excellent demonstrator. You make things look easy for us instead of scary.

Well presented - simple directions - easy to follow - easy to listen to voice - endless possibilities - small for minimal cost mailing. My mother directed the music in our Sacrament meetings and in our Primary meetings for many, many years. For Mother's Day I am using this design and will make her a HYMN BOOK. I have even found and saved several embellishments for her card. READY - SET - GO!!! Thank you so much for all the work you did to prepare for this tutorial. It is in my CARD file on my computer to allow for quick pull up and follow ------ each time I make one (there WILL be more).

[@Serenestamper]

That's wonderful to hear! I'm glad the tutorial was helpful for you.

[@sandyartman7520]

Congratulations! These are lovely cards and your technique is innovative and yet easy to achieve. I love books and have many book-loving friends so I can see the potential to get a lot of use. I make cards for my church, too, and think Bible-themed cards would be great using your technique. Thank you!!!

Absolutely stunning. Loved all of your cards Tina and the simple technique which means I don't have to buy special dies. A blessing when you are on a pension. Hope you're all coping with the pandemic in Canada and are keeping safe and well. We're doing well here in Australia but of course, we're all missing our families and friends, but if everyone does the right thing, we'll all get back to our normal lives much sooner. Take care.

[@elainewhite9361]

Hi Tina,from England,this is so spooky , I have a book die that I had never used,so decided this evening to try it,and was really disappointed ,as it just didn`t cut how I expected it to,so I binned it . Then I started watching card making videos and this one was the second one I watched,I am so happy I found it,now I can make my book card.Thank you for sharing,and making it easy to follow.

[@diannefroman2264]

Absolutely beautiful, Tina!💗 I think I want to make one or two or three or more of these cards. ☺ Terrific idea! I love watching your videos, you come up with so many wonderful ideas! I wish I could order supplies from you but I do not live in Canada! P.S. I watched your video on bread making and I've been making my own bread ever since! Delicious!

[@Serenestamper]

Hi Dianne! Thanks so much for your comment and kind words and I'm so glad you're enjoying my bread! I made a loaf just last night - it's so good! xx
