Good morning and welcome to another
fabulous and fun Saturday Challenge
Are you ready for another fun and krafty challenge to inspire you and help get your creative juices flowing?
We've got some fabulous ideas for you
and can't wait to see what you create!
This week, Krafty Girl Tamara is your hostess and her challenge theme for you is:
MAKE AN EASEL CARD!
This is such a great challenge! Easel cards are super easy to make, but look like you've had to figure out all kinds of details! Basically, you fold an A2 card base that is top folding - so cut your paper to 4 1/4" x 11" and fold at 5 1/2". Now you have a top folding cardbase. Next - Score the top of the cardbase at 2 3/4" so it essentially can bend in half. Now, you can add a focal layer with your stamped sentiment, scene, etc, and only glue the bottom part of that element (I'm using a scalloped rectangle for my card) to the bottom fold of the card base. When you add a popped up sentiment inside, your card becomes an easel and will rest against the sentiment. It will simply fold flat to mail however! You can embellish as desired!!
I decided to use the New Long Landscapes stamp with the beautiful sailboat scene to be the focal image on this card! I stamped it in Totally Taupe for a no-line effect and coloured it in with Zebra Mildliners on watercolour paper. They are actually waterbased and you can watercolour with them! I also stamped a couple clouds from the Valiant Viking set with Bubbly Blue Ink. I used the New Diagon-illy Stencil with the beautiful New Incredible Indigo Ink to create a fun stripy background! I used a sentiment on the front of the card from Life Is The Bubbles and some Krafty Dots, and then I added one of the Long Landscapes sentiments popped up inside the card.
