HAPPY HEALING EASEL CARDS | with Conny

Hello Crafty Friends, it's Conny here, excited to share four cards featuring the Happy Healing Collection. For this project, you will need pieces of white cardstock for the bases, each measuring 8.5 by 11 inches and weighing 110 lbs. Cut them to 4 1/4 by 11 inches, then score at 3 and 5 1/2 inches to create a unique trifold design. This will give you four bases.

To decorate the white bases, I used the 6 X 6 Happy Healing paper pad. I cut out  base pieces that measure 4 1/4 by 5 1/2 inches, and 1 3/4 by 5 1/2 inches strips to attach along the left side of the cards. For the finishing touches, I added embellishments from the Odds and Ends, All Better Shaped Sprinkles, Silver Assortment Sprinkles, and Puffy Icons to give each card a personalized touch.

To keep the base standing up I added a cardstock word sticker from the This & That Sheet and double-sided adhesive for dimension.

Have a great day!

PARTY TIME & HEY CUPCAKE EASEL CARDS | with Shellye

Easel cards are a fairly new concept to me even though they've been around for quite some time!  Today I'm sharing a set of four cards featuring the 

Hey Cupcake and Party Time Collections

The formula for creating the card base is simple:

Cut an 8.5"X11" sheet of cardstock in half along the width; your two (cut) pieces will measure 4.25"X11".  Next, score the length at 2.75" and 5.5".  

The mats and designing will take place on the first 2.75" flap. 

Cut a mat of patterned paper to measure 4"X5.25" and attach to the inside of the card (the non-scored 4.25"X5.5" section).

Next, cut another mat of the same size.  The mat will be attached to the first flap, so be sure to apply adhesive to the bottom half of the mat only.

To decorate I used various stand-alone dies, swatches of create-a-cards, die-cuts, stickers, etc.

Finally, for each of the cards, I created a "stopper" to maintain the easel shape.

I used border stickers and die-cuts and then attached them with foam adhesive about 1/3" of the way down.

Please visit my YouTube channel to see a quick step-out of how the card is assembled.  These also fit neatly inside of a standard A2 envelope!

If you love cardmaking and haven't tried this style yet, I hope you'll give it a go!

So Much Pun Easel Cards | with Kathy

I can not pass on a good pun... so when So Much Pun arrived, I dug right in!  My family thought I was crazy... they could hear me laughing from the other side of the house as I sorted through all of the funny puns!  I picked a few of my favorites and set to making some easel cards... take a peek...

As soon as I saw the adorable aliens in the So Much Pun Odds & Ends I thought of a saucer flying through the air.  I decided an easel card with an opening would be the best way to make this happen...

The stars on the Far Out Cardstock made the perfect backdrop. I attached the flying saucer with some monofilament thread so he looks like he's flying.  

I finished the card off with a cute little saying from the Chit Chat Pieces and those adorable sprinkle stars from the Out of This World Shaped Sprinkles.

My next card featured what I think might be my favorite icon from the whole collection... THE SLOTH!!!  He is just too stinking cute!

I stuck with the easel card design, but for this one, I opened both sides of the easel and added some grass and trees using the new Dot Stripe Rainbow Petite Prints 6x6 Pad to the back side of the easel to add dimension.  I think the Best I Ever Plaid paper is my favorite of the collection!  I finished the card with a few of the flowers from the Otterly Adorable Shaped Sprinkles.  Here is a close up...

My last card features another one of my favorite icons... the Otter!!!  I just love his sweet whiskers!  I also used the Dotty side of the Sweet Stuff Cardstock.

I created some waves using the bubble blue paper from the Dot Stripe Rainbow Petite Prints 6x6 Pad and had him float on them holding a Rainbow Heart Shaped Sprinkle.  To the back side of the Easel I added the Sun from the Odds & Ends and made a cloud with some Lily White Sprinkles Vellum.  Here is a close up...

All of these cards fold flat for mailing...

That's it for me today, thanks for stopping by to peek!
