Easel Card



Easy Easel Card


To make this easy easel card exactly. You will need the Crafter's Companion Brambly Hedge Papercrafting Collection CD-Roms. I used Disc 1 Spring/Summer Collection. You will need to print out the design 1 elements of the easel card selection on disc 1. It consists of two sheets.

Sheet 1- is the base of your card which I mounted onto green Centura Pearl Card to give a firm base. You will need to cut out the base section and score along the two lines as indicated on the sheet.  Fold the scored lines. The longest section is the base of your card (see side profile of the card below). 

Sheet 2- cut out all of the elements on this sheet.
Using a Die'sire Lace Border 8 die. Cut five border strips out of thin white card (150g)  I used my Grand Calibur die cutting and embossing machine to do this.
The sentiment on the card came from the same CD-Rom but from another project sheet I was working on earlier.
You will need 11 lime green pearls and 20 green gems.

To make up your card using the elements on sheet 2. Simply matt and layer your topper.  Edge the topper with the lace card strips. Cut out four corners from the left over pieces and glue in position. Attach the topper to your card base. 
Add the tags, ribbon and sentiment to your card using foam pads and glue.
Add the pearls and gems to the lace border.
Using foam pads add the strip of pattern card to the base card and attach the lace border and gems.
Using one of the large round buttons on sheet 2 mount on a foam pad. This will become your card stopper for your easel card. Decorate accordingly. I used a medium and small  flower punch with a pearl in the centre.

Hope you enjoy making this card. Keep crafting and have fun!
