Hi there!
We’re halfway to the Big Day :) All of the amazing new products will be available on Tuesday, April 13 at 10:00 am EDT.
Today I’m sharing a fun easel card featuring the Wheelie Great Friend stamp set and Die-namics. This type of card is very easy to create and such fun to make!
To begin, I stamped the funny cyclist and the sidecar passengers from the Wheelie Great Friend stamp set using Milk Chocolate Hybrid Ink. Next, I die-cut the stamped images using the coordinating Die-namics and colored them with Copic Markers.
Easel cards look like normal cards from the front but, when you open them, they reveal their dimension thanks to a piece inside that allows you to stand them on display like an easel.
I started with a regular sized card base and scored the front panel halfway between the edge of the card stock and my card’s fold line (in this case the folds are at 2 ½” and 5”). Next, I die-cut a grassy hill out of patterned paper, using one of the edges from the Grassy Hills Die-namics, and mounted it on my card front, right below the score line. I also added a Heavyweight Translucent Vellum die-cut circle behind it, as a background, putting adhesive only below the score line and leaving the upper part free to move.
I heat embossed the first part of the sentiment in white on a Butterscotch Prestige Card Stock strip and mounted it on my card front. Next, I stamped the matching sentiment with Butterscotch Premium Dye Ink on a white card stock strip, and adhered it on the inside, using some layered card stock strips to create a thick ledge so that the easel will lean against it very easily.
I finished off the card by adding the stamped images to complete the look! Such fun!
