JAI FANCY FOLDS EASEL CARD

I hope you enjoyed viewing Kim Badelt's gorgeous Tri Shutter card and you're ready to check out another Fancy Fold.  I have made a Funky Fold Easel Card which is held open with rolled roses.

Cardstock you will need:

10cm x 20cm Basic Black, Card base

10cm x 10cm Basic Black, Card base topper

8.5cm x 8.5cm Poppy Parade (cut 2, 1 outer, 1 inner)

8cm x 8cm Whisper White (cut 2, 1 outer, 1 inner)

Poppy Parade Roses, buttons or brads

Accessories:

1/4" Black grosgrain ribbon, Basic Pearl, Mini Glue Dots, Sponge, Stamp-a-ma-jig

How to:

1.  Using Poppy Parade ink and a sponge, gently sponge both pieces of the Whisper White across the top only.  Lay one piece of Whisper White aside for the card inner later.

2.  Using your Stamp-a-ma-jig for perfect placement,  Stamp the "love" sentiment from Occasional Quotes, in Basic Black, 2/3 of the way up the card front.

  3.  Along the bottom of the card front, stamp the flower from Silhouette Sentiments in Basic Black.

4.  Adhere your ribbon across the centre of your card.  Using Mini glue dots, adhere a separately tied bow and top with a pearl.

5.  Score the 20cm x 10 cm Basic Black card base in half at 10cm, then score again on one side only at 5cm.  Place tape or snail on the outside 5cm portion of the card stock as in the photo.

6.  Take the second 10cm x 10cm piece of Basic Black cardstock and lining the bottom up with the first 20cm piece, adhere where you have put the adhesive.  When you push this piece up, it should resemble and Easel - hence the name!
7.  Adhere both pieces of your Whisper White artwork to the 8.5cm square pieces of Poppy Parade mats.

8.  Adhere the front piece (with sentiment) to the front of your card base and the plain on to the inside of your card.
9.  Add buttons, brads or rolled roses placed on the lower third of the inside of your card.  This will enable the front of the card to slot behind, keeping the card open.
