Do you {heart} Close To My Heart? Join the brand-new {Heart} 2 {Heart} Challenges! This new blog will have weekly Monday challenges (with prizes!). Visit {here} to see all artwork and challenges. My card for this week's challenge uses the challenge colors of chocolate, sweet leaf, and sunflower. I used two stamp sets to make the card: Endless Friendship (D1354) and Delightful Things (D1369). The green paper is left from a previous CTMH campaign. The leaves on the flower are made from ribbon from the Sweet Leaf Ribbon Rounds collection.
The easel card was so easy to make! I cut a piece of cardstock 4 1/4" x 8 1/2 and scored at 4 1/4" and 6 3/8". Fold in a zig-zag pattern. Cut a second piece of cardstock into a 4 1/4" square and attach to the top folded piece. Place a brad, button, or layered cardstock approximately 1/3 of the way from the bottom of the inside of the card to hold the propped-up "easel." Quick and easy!
This is beautiful.....I'm really going to have to try making some cards!!!

ReplyDeleteThe sweet leaf looks so rich used this way, and thanks for the instructions for the easel card. I haven't tried one yet either.
ReplyDeleteYou are so clever using that B&T paper for your project. I love your project and I REALLY love your blog background! ;0)
ReplyDeletePretty take on an easel card. I love how the panel on the inside does double duty - holds the easel up and a place for the sentiment. Nice job!
