Easel Card - Take Flight

Crafter's Companion -Penguin Christmas Cards

Season's Greetings - Sweet Deer Card

T'is the season.  I have an inset easel today.

The hardest part was creating the card base without a template.  Lots of trial and error (guess I'll be buying a die for this...)

I have used Carta Bella papers and CTMH chipboard pieces, along with craft paper, pop-dots, and some gems.  For more on technique  or products feel free to P.M. me.

See previous post for additional card.

Reveres Easel Card- Seasons Greetings

I call it "reverse" because most easel cards I see have the center  forward, but on this card I  have the center in-set.

I think the little poinsettia looks like a star

Once I figured out how to cut the card base (trial and error without a template), the rest of the card came together easily with the beautiful Carta Bella Papers and  Sizzix die - Winter Wishes Collection - Christmas

Precious Moments Ice Cream Easel Card

Todays card uses a sweet little Precious Moments clip art image.

 

I have used three different die sets on this all cut with my little Cuttlebug  and magnetic mat.

( If you don't have a magnetic mat yet, I highly recommend it.  The Cricut magnetic mat works much better then Genius by We R Memory Keepers one I tried first - cheaper too)

The first die gives it its easel shape (witch is perfect for the challenge over at Glitter and Sparkle).  I love the stitching on these dies from Little Darlings.


Next I used the little lacy circle for the  "sun" or word frame.
I also used a phrase die the "Hi"

One of the challenges  I am entering over at Simon Says Stamp  gave us a mood board with some color and photo inspiration.  I chose my colors based on that challenge along with the teal wood patterned paper inspired by the photos.

I was going to enter is an ice cream challenge  - hence this adorable little precious moments image of  two sharing a cup of the sweet stuff.  This image is clip art obtained form pinterest.

Mermaid Shadow Box Easel Card

It is a hot one here in south Texas on this glorious 4th of July Weekend.  How about a refreshing deep waters card to cool things down a bit....

This beautiful, shimmering, 3D, birthday card was made using Dimensional Scenes - Mermaid Tales

I made it a easel card, added a gift card holder

This is of moderate difficulty using Cricut Design Space. 


I welded wording on to the frame and added and extra shell from Life's A Beach

Papers are laid out in "sync" order of cutting line-up

For me, one of the most tedious parts is choosing all the papers.  This project has eleven (11) different papers - most have a shimmering nature.

 

Blogs I am sharing on:

1. Die Cutting Divas (Birthday Challenge #272)
2. Cut it up (3D challenge #99) (be sure to check in next week for their  #100 and blog candy)
3. The Diva's that cut ...paper (Make it Glitter challenge)
4. DL.ART (Summertime Challenge #183)

 

Supply List:

• Cricut Explore Air
• Cricut Design Space (access)
• Dimensional Scenes - Mermaid Tales (free with Cricut access)
• Life's a Beach
• Papers: All Over Water print (NRN Designs), foiled wave, Glitzy Pastels, Pear paper, Cardstock
• Paper glaze (I used liquid glass from CTMH)
• Glue / tape runner
• Metallic sticker dots, brads, or bling
• Cuttlebug / die cut machine
• Happy Birthday die cut (I used Spellbinders Phrase Set one)
• Pop dots

Please feel free to PM if you have any questions and I will be more than happy to give you any info I can.

 

Thanks for looking, God bless and happy scrappin'
