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.
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.

ReplyDeletecould you convert directions into inches for us Amercans?
DeleteSharon, there are many online conversion tables available. Just use Google like I do when converting the other way :-)
DeleteBeautiful card Paula and fab tutorial too!
ReplyDeleteAwesome tutorial (and perfect photos!) of such a pretty card :)
ReplyDeleteI always wondered how this was done. Thanks for the beautiful sample! ;)
ReplyDeleteI am in awe of your little masterpiece. I got the amazing idea to use rolled roses for the 'stopper' bit from you at my last workshop. Thanks for the inspiration, Paula - you are one clever paper crafter.
ReplyDeletePaula I am going to dub you Queen of the Brayer or Sponge (as we have dubbed Bron Queen of the Easel Cards) because your cards using these tools are always works of art and this one is no exception, made even better with your great tutorial and photos! Awesome ♥
ReplyDeleteLovely card and great tutorial. I am looking forward to trying this one out myself.
ReplyDeleteAwesome card, awesome design and awesome tutorial!!! Go you!
ReplyDeleteAn absolutely beautiful card Paula. I love the colours and especially the sponging. Gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteYou have captured my heart. I love Black, Red and white.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous, Paula! Thanks for the tutorial :)
ReplyDeleteI've been wondering how to do this technique - thank you so much for showing me how! Thank you so much for showing me a new fold technique - I'm new to all of this and I really do enjoying learning and trying new things! Have a great weekend. Theresa

ReplyDeleteThis is amazing, Paula. I have been itching to do an easel card for so long ... and your delicious creation has inspired me to try. (I have got to do a legitimate entry after my big boo boo! I used a different fancy fold idea ... rather than choosing a designer idea! DUH! Back to the drawing board!!!) Hugs xxaxx
ReplyDeleteOur group of 16 that meets every month will like this one ONLY it has to be a Valentine WITHOUT hearts. I have some frog stickers w/google eyes that I'm going to use with the saying "I only have eyes for you". I'll use a seashell in place of the rose! We do a lot with Stampin' Up designers and thanks for this idea
ReplyDeleteSteps to make a coloured pencil skin color look more organic?
ReplyDeleteTry blue and purple to awesome it down. There's a great color pencil forum over on the WetCanvas.com site.
They've most likely already covered this issue.
