easel card

Tulip Flowers Girl Scene ~ Easel Card Tutorial

Hello.  It’s Gaylynn here.  For Technique Time at Unity Stamp Company, I am showing a way to make an easel card that includes an outdoor scene.  In this tutorial, no dies are used.

Incorporating an easel card technique is a great way to add interest and dimension to a handmade card.  It is interactive and is includes pretty scene building.

Sentiment:  Hi.

Helpful tips:
Here are helpful tips for creating this easel card scene.  To begin, stamp the girl, the flowers and the sentiment.  Next, trim and score a card base and a mint color frame panel.  Then, trim a cloud panel and a bottom trim.  Also, add color to the girl and flowers and then fussy cut (cut out) the girl and the flowers.  I used a circle punch for the sentiment.  Next, add light ink blending in two colors onto the cloud panel using a cloud stencil.  Finally, adhere the scored green panel onto the card base and add the accent layers to finish the easel card.

Card Base:  Cut 11″ x 4 1/4″, score at 5 1/2″.
Mint Frame Panel:  Cut 10 1/4″ x 4″, score at 5 1/2″ and 7 3/4″.
Cloud Panel:  Cut 5″ x 3 3/4″.
White Front Strip:  Cut 3 3/4″ x 2 1/4″.

This is another look.

Here is my video tutorial for this project.  It will detail the full process.

Supplies:  Unity Stamp Co. Begin Anew, Gotta Love Sentiments, Cloud and Wave Stencil.
Also, foam and flat double-sided tape, cardstock, mini Misti, Simon Says Stamp intense black ink, distress oxide ink in cracked pistachio and fossilized amber; 1 1/4″ paper punch, MSC scoring board, Copic markers E44, E33, E71, E11, Y21, RV29, RV11, BG18, BG15, BG32, BG10.

Easel card with stamped blue toile and tutorial

Hello, Gaylynn here. For Technique Time, I am sharing a vintage style easel card tutorial with blue toile stamping.  This is card brings back oldies in my Unity treasure box.
Using toile accents really makes this easel card pop.

 

Sentiment:
Everyone is fighting a battle you know nothing about.  Be kind.

Helpful tips:
Here are tips for creating this toile easel card:  First, stamp the background toile and the sentiment onto cardstock using a stamp positioner like the Misti.  Next, trim or die-cut all of the cardstock stamped panels and layers.  Now, score the blue frame panel to make a front easel.  Then, begin assembling the top layers and add twine or cording to the tag accent.  Next, fold the blue scored easel panel and adhere the back section to the top fold card base.  Now, add the top accent sentiment section.  When finished, this is an A2 sized card with a front panel that folds out to make an easel card shape.
Card base:  A2 top fold
Blue frame panel:  cut 4″ x 10 1/4″ and
score on the long end at 5 1/4″ x 7 3/4″.
Toile background:  5″ x 3 3/4″
(Also, make an accent trim with leftover cuts.)
Front white bottom panel:  2 1/4″ x 3 3/4″

Layered Tag:  3 1/2″ x 2 1/2″

Here is my video tutorial for this project.  It will detail the full process.

Supplies include Unity Stamp Co. Tea Time Toile and Everyone You Meet.
Also, Ranger archival manganese blue and cobalt ink, original Misti, cardstock, hole punch, gold cording, flat and foam double-sided clear tape, MCT rectangle frame dies, tag frame dies, tag frame die layers; Fiskars paper trimmer, MSC scoring board, bone folder, Silhouette printable gold foil paper, Prismacolor colored pencils in PC904 and PC906.  The card layout was inspired by a Pink & Main card class project.
