Easel Card -- Sense of Time :)

 

The inspiration of this card came from a new friend I met at Convention 2009. Flying was so much easier (lol!) with Denise :)  The actual Easel Card design came from a recent Late Night Stampers swap I was in by Beate.

Here's how easy this is to make it.

Supplies:

-  one 4-1/4" x 8-1/2" card base

-  one 4-1/4" square for front of card (easel)

-  one 4" square to decorate as desired for top layer of easel (opt.)

-  one 4-1/4" x 3-1/4" to decorate for inside (or you can also use 4" x 5-1/4")

1)  Score the 4-1/4" x8-1/2" card stock at 5-1/2" and 8-1/4"

2)  Prefold score lines -- 1st fold like a normal card, then open and fold the little section towards the center (same direction as 1st fold).

3)  With card folded in half, attach the 4-1/4" square evenly to front (folded side), flush with open edge -- be careful to only adhere to the half that will be standing up.

4)  Decorate the 4" square as desired and center on the 4-1/4" square.

5)  Decorate inside as desired, using a brad, a calendar, a post-it note, a button, or anything to help have a "resting" place when card is open.

Enjoy!

I also so love it when my stampers use their own creativity juices to change what I have created for them. Here's a couple of cards that Tammy created. Good Job Tammy!!!

 

Scallop Circle Die Dress & Butterfly :)

I have seen this several different ways and kinds among our stamping friends. I decided to give this a try at our Big Shot Night this month. The gals loved it!

But wait! Don't throw out the cut away pieces of your scallop circle. They just happen to make a cute butterfly :)

Check out my calendar for my next Big Shot Night. You do NOT have to have purchased a Big Shot from me or even own a Big Shot. Just come and have a hands on experience and a FUN! night! For more info on my Big Shot NIght or the two projects above, just give me a call/email at stampn4u@frontiernet.net

Weddings and Proms are in the Air :)

In January, a very good friend and stampin' buddy helped set up a display at Carl Sandburg Mall in Galesburg, IL 61401 for Sabrina's Bridal/Prom Fair. I will be setting up at another one in Abingdon, IL 61410 at the Abingdon High School on Sunday, March 28th. Come and see me and our display.
