Coneflower Celebrations, Creative Creases, and Cardz 4 Galz #252

Welcome back to the bi-weekly Cardz 4 Galz # 252. Our host for this edition of the challenge, Debbie , chose Easel Card for the theme. Since I am obsessed with all things fun fold I was so pleased to create a card with new products. When you finish here, please visit the challenge site to see what the rest of the very talented design team members created. Then, don’t forget to upload your creations to our gallery. We look forward to seeing your creations there!
Here’s my Coneflower Celebrations easel card:

I’m also going to enter this card in the Creative Creases Challenge, where it’s always Anything Goes with a Fun Fold.

Measurements:
- The Secret Sea base measures 11 by 4-1/4 inches, scored at 2-3/4 and 5-1/2 inches
- Trim a piece of the Cloud Cover 6 x 6 inch DSP (designer series paper) to 5-3/8 by 4-1/8 inches
- Trim a piece of white cardstock to 4-1/8 by 5-3/8 inches
- I have scraps of all sizes of white cardstock and was able to use scraps to stamp all of the images on the front from scraps
- Punch a 1-inch circle from Secret Sea 6 x 6 inch DSP and run it through the XYRON create-a-sticker for the envelope seal
- Trim a piece of Secret Sea cardstock to 4-1/8 by 3/4 inch for the inside easel stop piece
What I Did:
Stamping, Coloring, & Cropping:
- I used the Coneflower Celebration bundle for all of the stamped images
- After stamping all of the coneflower pieces, I colored them using the blends combos in Darling Duckling, Old Olive, and Pecan Pie
- Stamp the on a scrap of white cardstock for the front and on the white cardstock piece for the inside
- Using Secret Sea ink, randomly stamp splotches using first and second generation stamping around both sentiments
- Stamp splotches using first and second generation stamping on the envelope flap
- Crop the sentiment using a Nested Essentials die
- Crop the coneflower pieces for the front
- Trim and add a piece of the adhesive foam strip to the back of the Secret Sea cardstock for the easel stopper
- Crop the stopper piece using the circles die from the Coneflower Celebration die set
- HINT: When you poke out the circles from the cardstock/adhesive foam piece, keep the circles because they form perfectly sized dimensionals for the flower pieces
Assembly:
- Use multipurpose liquid glue to adhere the flower pieces together
- Add dimensionals to the back of the flower pieces
- Add Secret Sea faux linen ribbon to the card
- HINT: to save on ribbon and bulk, use the images below to help you adhere the ribbon using tear-&-tape





- Adhere the Cloud Cover DSP to the bottom half of the base of the card
- HINT: Do not adhere the top half of the DSP or you won’t be able to create the easel
- Adhere the coneflower to the front of the card making sure the dimensionals straddle the ribbon
- Adhere the sentiment making sure to straddle the coneflower
- Add three Secret Sea flat pearls to the front of the card
- Adhere the white cardstock to the inside of the card using multipurpose liquid glue
- The placement of the easel stopper depends on your desired steepness of the front easel part
- HINT: I usually like to place the stopper about an inch from the crease of the base
- With that, I’d finished this coordinated card, envelope, and envelope seal set
Thank you for stopping by today!
Have a Peachy Day!
