Elizabeth Craft Designs-Oval Easel

Hello creative friends,

I've made more California Poppies today for this oval easel card.

 

I used the largest oval on the folded cardstock making sure the cutting edge at the fold hung over about 1/4" so it didn't cut the fold.  I then scored the top in half.  Cut another front with the same oval die and glue it to just one half of the card base top.  This creates the easel.  The easel will stand up when it sets against a popped up sentiment on the inside as shown.

Again I've used black with copper in off-set layers for the oval frames.

Wild Poppies, Columbine, Stitched Ovals, Bloom Wildly Sentiments, Flower Centers 3,

Evening Rose and Soft Finish Cardstock

Elizabeth Craft Designs-Love Birds

 Hello crafting friends!!

Today we have some cute love birds.  This could be for an Anniversary or a new baby, maybe even a wedding gift card.

Festive Robins, Bohemian Rose Sentiments, Festive Ornate Frame, Rose Companion Flower,

Soft Finish Cardstock, Diagonal Stitched Fishtails, Bohemian Rose Paper

Make the card base by folding a piece of white cardstock, 4" X 9", in half.  Place the die so that about 1/2" of the die hangs over the folded edge and then die cut.  Fold one of the halves in half again then die cut another full front from white.  Glue the front to the side that was folded half but just on the bottom half. (I close the card base fully to do this, place the full front on top to line it up exactly then put glue at the bottom only up to the fold line). Now cut out decorative paper and decorative die cuts trimming as needed (at the inside top portion).

Birds, flowers and leaves colored with brushes and Oxide ink.

Festive Holiday Sentiments

Decorate the inside with decorative die insets, sentiment popped up and more poinsettias

Elizabeth Craft Designs- New Christmas Release.

 Hello crafting friends!

Today I'm sharing an easel card made with a shaped die. And this release we have a beautiful robin.

Stitched Indented Squares, Layered Labels, Festive Holiday, Festive Holly Sentiments,

Festive Ornate Frame, Winter Greenery, Poinsettia, and Soft Finish Cardstock

I did a white and a gold layer with the decorative die then glued them slightly off set (the front/top) of card and the inside of card. The inside square frame is popped up.

Make the easel card by placing the decorative outer die over the folded edge about 1/2"-3/4" inch so that the fold does not get cut.  Next, score and fold right side of card (top) in half, get a good crease and fold toward the inside of card.  Now cut another full top then glue the bottom to the card only on the half folded down. To make the easel stand up, create a stop on the inside with the popped up sentiment or dimensional flowers.

Decorate as desired with berries, leaves and flowers.

Elizabeth Craft Designs Round Easel Card

Hello crafty friends!

I've finally gotten around to making a round easel

card with the beautiful Joyous Ornament.

C025 Joyous Christmas, 2151 Florals 29, 2155 Joyous Ornament-Round,

CS358 Joyous Christmas

Closed

I built up the sentiment so that it acts like a stop to hold up the front (an easel).

I added rhinestones to the ornate die cut pattern.

The flowers are cut from the Soft Finish Cardstock then colored with Oxide inks for smooth coloring, I did leave some parts lighter on purpose.

I sponged the edges with a light tan.

The centers are filled with gold microbeads.

Thanks for visiting today!

Special Day! Easel Card

 Good morning crafty friends!

Material List

Card size:  6 X 6”

Cut a Simple Centerpiece card base using the largest die in the set on white cardstock. Score right side at 3” then fold down toward center fold, crease with bone folder then open flat. Cut another card front from white cardstock with the same die. Glue this piece to the bottom half only of the 3” scored side (all edges should match. This forms the easel base.

Cut green and lavender decorative paper for the front and inside of card using the same large Simple Centerpiece die.  Glue the inside piece onto card but wait on the front.  Use the lattice insert curvy Accent die to cut through front decorative paper piece at an angle.  Cut it again from silver then glue the silver under the decorative paper off set so that silver shows.  Trim any excess silver from edges of Centerpiece die cut.  Glue a piece of lavender decorative paper under lattice opening then glue the card front to the base front.

Make 2 silver Octagon frames using the largest Simple Centerpiece die along with the next die in size together.  Pop up the top/front silver frame and glue the inside silver frame to card.

Use a small oval die to cut a piece of silver and a piece of Fun Foam. Glue these together then glue to the inside of card to create a stop to keep easel card open (for best results this piece should be almost at the bottom of the inside).

Stamp Feathery Florals using black on white cardstock, die cut then color.  Shape on the back using the largest ball stylist in the Deluxe Flower Shaping Kit. (Use pop ups under flowers and some leaves).  Adhere larger floral to the front of card on the right side and glue/pop up smaller floral on top of the silver oval inside card.

Stamp Wild Rose using Deep Purple onto Deluxe Flower Shaping Cardstock. Sponge with Deep Purple, die cut then sponge edges again and use the shaping mold to form flowers.  Glue 2 of the same size blossoms together to make flowers and then fill with Prills.  Glue 3 on the front with Feathery Florals and 2 inside.

Cut one of the strip sentiments from decorative paper, line with silver, fish tail both ends then use a pen to make a wave.  Glue it to the front at an angle.

Glitter card randomly and glitter all the flowers.

Thank you for visiting today!
