Good Morning to all,
THANK YOU EVERYONE WHO LEFT ME GET WELL WISHES,
I ended up with a virus and a bowel infection,
I am on a new set of tablets now and feel a fair bit better,
Special thanks to Mrs Tiggywinkle, for taking me to get my new tablets yesterday morning xx
woke up before 6am this morning and had the urge to craft,
so here it is,
Today's tutorial is a nice easy one, how to make a easel card,
as from blog hopping I noticed a lot of people are still wary of doing these great cards,
they are nice and easy, and I hope this will help show the way.
The materials you need are a card blank of whatever shape and size you wish,
then another piece of card the same size and shape of the blank you start with.
I used a 6" x 4" card blank,
a piece of card 6" x 4"
Digi Image Buddy from the Character Cafe.
Backing paper and sentiments from my stash.
Take the front of the card blank and fold this into half and crease,
as above photo shows.
Then use double sided tape put it on the opening edge like and next to the crease like the photo below, as this is where the spare piece of card sticks to, I normally stick it after decorating it.
After decorating your spare piece of card, how you wish,
and also adding backing paper to the lower half of the card blank,
stick the decorated piece to the folded flap like the photo below.
The photo below shows the two sentiments I am using on the lower part of the easel card,
you need to raise these so I used 1mm foam pads,
Once you have stuck them the easel card will stay up as these stop it from falling flat,
as you can see in the photo below.
I watercoloured Buddy, who you can get from the Character Cafe Shop,
and used purple mirri board to back him after distressing around him with chalks.
The backing paper is green, with lots of green leaves, and orange flowers on it.
doesn't show up well as light was very poor at 6am this morning. lol.
I couldn't sleep, had the urge to craft.
The sentiments are die cut, and the image I used my large circle punch.
I am entering this card into the following challenges -
The Creative Cottage - Flowers
Simon Says - St Patricks Day/Greens (gone for the green)
Digital Tuesday - Greens
Cupcake Crafts - Green
Fun With Shapes - Birthday
Thanks for stopping by today,
Hugs
