We look forward to seeing your creations there!
Here’s my dry & wet embossed easel fold card:
Since this is a fun fold, I’ll also be entering it in the Creative Creases Gallery.
Measurements:
- The Cajun Craze base measures 11 by 4-1/4, scored at 2-3/4 and 5-1/2 inches
- AFTER you dry emboss another piece of Cajun Craze, trim it to 4-1/8 by 5-3/8 inches
- HINT: If you trim a piece of cardstock to your desired size before embossing it, especially with a 3D folder, you will wind up with a too small piece of cardstock
- The Thoughtful Journeys DSP (designer series paper) cropped with a deckled rectangles die measures
- The white cardstock mat, also cropped with a deckled rectangles die measures
- I used a scrap of Cajun Craze cardstock for the sentiment on the front
- For the inside, crop a piece of white cardstock using the largest deckled rectangle die
- Trim a coordinating piece of DSP to 1/2 by 5-1/2 inches for the easel stop, then crop the sides using the largest deckled rectangle die
- You will also need a 2-1/2 by 6 inch coordinating DSP for the envelope flap
- Punch a 1-inch circle of contrasting DSP for the envelope seal, and run it through the XYRON create-a-sticker
Stamping, Outlining, & Assembly:
- Unless otherwise noted, I used multipurpose liquid glue to adhere the pieces of this card together
- After cropping the two white cardstock pieces, I outlined them with a Calypso Coral marker
- I did the same to the DSP piece using a Cajun Craze marker
- Adhere the DSP to the white cardstock, then adhere the layers to the left side of the dry embossed Cajun Craze cardstock
- Add liquid glue to the bottom half of the front of the card only
- Center the embossed piece of cardstock on the base and adhere it to the bottom half of the front of the card.
- HINT: if you use liquid glue on the whole front base of the card you won’t be able to make it an easel card
- After wiping down the scrap piece of Cajun Craze with your embossing buddy, stamp the sentiment using VersaMark ink
- Cover the sentiment using white embossing powder and heat set
- Crop the sentiment using a small deckled rectangle die
- Trim a piece of the white diagonal ribbon so that you have two pieces about 1-1/2 inches long and adhere them to the back of the sentiment panel
- Add dimensionals to the back of the sentiment panel and adhere to the DSP
- Stamp the inside sentiment on the cropped white cardstock about halfway down to allow for the easel stop
- Adhere the white cardstock to the inside of the card
- Add dimensionals to the strip of DSP for the easel stop and adhere it to the white cardstock
- With that, I’d finished this coordinated card, envelope, and envelope seal set
Thank you for stopping by today!
Have a Peachy Day!
