- Or Mash it Up and create an "Easel Card project with some Sunshine".
This fun twisted easel card is actually pretty easy to
make. So is the starburst flower. So here is the complete tutorial!
1. Cut one piece of Pool Party card stock 5-1/2” x
9-1/2”. With the 9-1/2” side against the top of your Simply Scored, score at
4-3/4”. Fold on the score line.
2. Take the largest Floral Frames Framelit and place it
on the folded card stock. Make sure that the die extends past the card stock on
the same side as the fold. Run this through your Big Shot.
3. Un-fold the flower shaped card that you now have.
Place it onto your Simply Scored as shown. You want to score between the petals
that are lined up with the black line on my Simply Scored. Fold on the score
line.
4. Now you have your card base. The portion standing up
is what you will adhere your card front onto.
5. Stamp the inside of the card (the non-scored side)
with the image from Elements of Style in Pool Party ink. Sponge around the
flower shape with Pool Party ink and a Stampin’ Sponge.
6. Cut one piece of Whisper White card stock 4-1/2” x
4-1/2”. Run this through the Big Shot with the second from largest Floral
Frames Framelit. Stamp the image from Elements of Style onto the Whisper White
flower with Daffodil Delight ink by stamping off on a scrap paper first. Then
stamp the Beautiful Birthday greeting on top of the swirl with Island Indigo
ink. Adhere this flower inside the card base. Add Rhinestones onto the greeting
as desired.
7. Cut one piece of Pool Party card stock 5-1/2” x
5-1/2”. Run this through the Big Shot with the largest Floral Frames Framelit. Stamp
the flower with the image from Elements of Style in Pool Party ink. Sponge
around the edges with Pool Party ink and a Stampin’ Sponge. Use Multipurpose
Liquid Adhesive to adhere this onto the folded up flap of the card base.
8. Add a fold in the card base as shown below. This will
help the card stand up easier.
9. Use the Small Heart Punch on a piece of Silver Glimmer
Paper. Add half of a Stampin’ Dimensional onto the back of the heart. Open up
the card and hold the front flower in the position that you would like it to
stand. Adhere the glimmer heart into place right where the bottom right petal
of the flower meets the inside of the card. This heart will hold the card open
when it’s standing up.
10. Now for the flower. Cut one piece of Whisper White
card stock 4-1/2” x 4-1/2”. Use a ruler and pencil to lightly draw lines from
corner to corner creating a perfect X in the card stock.
11. Cut two pieces of DSP 3” x 3”. I used Polka Dot
Parade and Brights Collection DSP. Use your ruler and pencil to lightly draw
one line from one corner to the opposite corner. Repeat with the other piece of
DSP.
12. Place one piece of DSP on your Stampin’ Trimmer. Line up the points without the pencil mark in
the cutting groove. Cut. Repeat with the other piece of DSP.
13. Now take one of your DSP triangles and line up the
point and the pencil mark in the cutting groove of your Stampin’ Trimmer. Cut.
Repeat with the remaining DSP triangles. Use an eraser to erase the pencil
lines. Sponge around the edges of each triangle with Daffodil Delight ink and a
Stampin’ Sponge.
14. Adhere your triangles onto the Whisper White card
stock from Step 10 with Anywhere Glue Stick. Line up the long side of the
triangle with the X lines. Repeat with the remaining DSP triangles alternating
patterns as you go.
15. You should now have something that looks like this.
16. Place the second from largest Floral Frames Framelit
onto your DSP/card stock layer. Line up
the points between the petals with the lines where one DSP meets the next. Use
a Post-It Note to hold the die in place and run it through your Big Shot.
17. Now you have your beautiful perfectly portioned DSP
flower.
18. Stamp the image from A Round Array onto a scrap of
Whisper White card stock in Pool Party ink. Punch out the image with the 7/8”
Scalloped Circle Punch. Use the 1-1/4” Scalloped Circle punch on a piece of
Silver Glimmer Paper. Adhere the stamped scalloped circle onto the glimmer
scalloped circle with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive.
19. Adhere the Flower onto the card front with Stampin’
Dimensionals. Adhere the glimmer label into the center of the flower with a Stampin’
Dimensional.
20. Your fabulous flower easel card is now complete!
