Christmas Easel card

Hello and welcome everyone.  I have a new card project I'd like to share with you that I created after watching a YouTube video by Cynthia Maynard(I'll try to link the video below).  Mine may not have come out as well but I'm very happy with the results.  Take a look at the project below and let me know what you think and then head on over to Cynthia Maynard's channel and check out her video.

Supplies:


Additional supplies: ATG, clear blocks, Stampendous Truck Tidings stamp set (CLD01), American Crafts Jolly 6x6 paper pad (35760)

  1. Create an A2 sized card base from Whisper White card stock to measure 5 ½” x 8 ½” and score at 4 ¼”.
  2. On the front panel, cut one side on the 1 ½” mark up to the score line and then slide the card base to 4” and cut up to the score line.
  3. Cut a 3” x 4” piece of Whisper White card stock and adhere centered inside the card base. Glue down the two sides using favorite adhesive.
  4. For the side panels cut 2 patterned paper panels that measure 1 ¼” x 4” and for the middle panel cut 2 pieces of coordinating patterned paper at 1 7/8” x 2 ¼”. Fold the center panel in half, score with bone folder and adhere the patterned paper with favorite adhesive.
  5. Next, cut 2 different size labels, stamp sentiment on the smaller label using Cherry Cobbler ink and then adhere the labels together with Dimensionals. Adhere the sentiment to the inside of the flap and then stamp a coordinating sentiment beneath.
  6. Die-cut a scalloped circle from another piece of the patterned paper and then a plain circle from Whisper White card stock. Sponge the edges of the White circle with Cherry Cobbler ink and then stamp the focal image with Memento Tuxedo black ink. Color the images with Stampin’ Write markers (Cherry Cobbler, Garden Green, Crushed Curry, Tempting Turquoise, Berry Burst).
I hope you have enjoyed today's project and will check back often for more inspiration. Thank you for visiting.

Forever Love layout share

Hello and welcome to the post for today. I'm not sure I actually created a layout I wanted for this photo since it is so precious to me, but I think it came out pretty good. The background layer is Crate Paper Hello Love. The photo was matted on the Basic Grey B side woodgrain paper, then the left side of the photo was matted the Basic Grey Maybe paper. The right side was matted with the Basic Grey Prom Date paper. The final layer on the photo is the Gold Arrow paper from the My Story paper by My Mind's Eye. A branding strip was put at the bottom of the photo layer and some of the word phrases were cut from the Hello Love paper by Crate Paper and decorative brads used on the tags are from the My Story sheet by My Mind's Eye. I stamped Hello Baby (SU) using Memento Tuxedo black ink and die cut a banner (SU) and adhered it to the tag. The year is from the Seasonal Snapshot 2015 Project Life accessory pack (SU). Take a look at the layout and let me know what you t...
