The promised tutorial is here! How to use the Flower Easel card sheet.

Afternoon all,

Here is the promised tutorial for the Flower Easel Card sheet in my challenge this week here at Trimgym's Digistamps and Images. By clicking on this link you will go straight to the challenge post. You will remember perhaps that I have a little special freebie there for you, a Flower Easel card I designed myself (template and papers).

So, over to the mini tutorial, it is all rather straight forward really.

1. First print off the sheet on good quality card:

2. Next carefully cut out all the separate parts of the Easel Card.

3. Then fold the main part of the card along the lines, valley folds on both lines.

4. Once you have done that, turn the card over and apply glue to the top folded part only.

5. You then need to carefully stick the main flower shape onto the base card where you have applied the glue only. 

6. Next stick the other two shapes onto the main flower shape.

7. Choose an image and stick it place. 


8. Turn over the card again and put something in place to keep your easel card up. This could be by a big brad (a green dot can be found in the base card to show where), or by adding your own chosen sentiment on double sided sticky pads, or by adding buttons or anything else that puts a bit of a barrier up so the top of the card remains in place and doesn't slide down again. 

9. For ease of sending it, the card folds totally flat:

10. In the card below, I used a few buttons.

Not really that difficult, is it?

Hope you will have lots of fun trying this as well. Please don't forget to join in with the challenge as well if you get a chance.

Love,

Jo.

CRAFT Challenge 163, Summer.

Morning all!

Thursday again already and time for another challenge at CRAFT Challenge. This week our challenge is

Summer

So, any project fitting this subject will be eligible for a prize.

We hope you will enjoy playing along with this one again. For all those in the UK, I think it is fair to ask 'What Summer?!!', as we have not actually seen a lot of it this year. A bit of sunshine here today though.

I have not had a lot of time for creating this week as I have needed to do a bit of studying as well. But here are my 3 cards for this week, hope you like them. 

(using 'PoppiSurf' by Bugaboo Stamps and 'Coney Island 

Papers' by Robyn's Fetish Digital Stamps and More )

(using 'Summer Party' by Floppy Latte  Designs and 'Cupcakes 

Minis papers' by Desertgirl Designs)

(using 'Lager' by Sassy Studio Designs and 'Ocean View papers'

by Annies 4 Corners)

I felt the top card would fit as a Christmas card bearing in mind Christmas time is summer time Down Under.

This week I have not used any of my own papers of images I'm afraid, I have simply been too busy. I'll try better next week.

Have a great weekend and hope you will join us again this week. I will try and put a freebie on my digistamp blog this week at some stage though as well and possibly a related challenge again as well. See you there as well as at CRAFT Challenge.

Love,

Jo.
