Unlock Beautiful Easel Cards That Will Make You Smile

This fun fold was chosen specifically to showcase this wonderful stamp set. Most stamp sets have images that work together but to find a set that has large stamps like this is a gift. I am looking forward to using this set on a scrapbook page. I will have to hash tag it “stamping large” LOL. But for now enjoy the visual textures and simple construction of this card.

Directions

Card Base

Cut a lengthwise half sheet card base out of basic black card stock 10.5cm x 29.7 (4-1/4″ x 11″). Score half way at 14.85cm (5-1/2″)

If using a dark card base (as I did here) cut a card liner out of white (or a pale neutral) card stock, 10cm x 14.35cm (4″ x 5-1/4″). I decorated the piece I used with a greeting from the Mixed Labels stamp set and one of the flowers stamps from the Mixed Florals stamp set.

Fun Fold

Cut a piece of Shaded Spruce card stock to 10cm x 27cm (4″ x 9-3/4″). Score at 6.2cm, 12.4cm (2-1/4″, 4-1/2″). Fold the card stock up on the 12.4cm (4-1/2″) score line and fold the card stock down on the 6.2cm (2-1/4″). As shown in the photograph above.

Decorate

Cut three pieces of Designer Series Paper, cut the first to 9.5cm x 13.85 (3-3/4″ x 5″). Cut pieces two and three to 9.5cm x 5.8cm (3-3/4″ x 2″). Glue flat to the front sections of the fun fold.

Stamp the two large flower images from the Mixed Floral stamp set onto white card stock with Tuxedo Black Memento ink. Die cut out the images with the coordinating dies.

Glue the slightly smaller daisy image onto the center of the large section of the fun fold.

Glue the bottom half of the slightly larger image to the front folded down flap of the fun fold.

When the card is folded up some of the daisy image shows behind the tulip image creating a 3-D effect. Open the card and prop it up as if it were easel and both images show.

Thank you for reading with me today, I hope you will give this easy fun fold a try. I also hope you will check out the Mixed Media Florals Suite from Stampin’ Up. There are many examples of easel cards out there but as usual I always turn to Jackie Bolhuis to get best and easiest way to make a fun fold. So thank you Jackie for the measurements for the imperial card (the metric re-design is all me).
