Instruction Sheet - Double Easel Card (February 2012)

Green version

Pink version in progress

You will need:

• A4 Cream card, folded to make A5 portrait card.
• A6 cream card to make main easel background
• 1 A4 sheet of patterned background paper
• Toning card in a matching colour
• 2 pictures which are the same for the topper
• Plain cream card for main easel  and sentiments
• Paper flowers to decorate
• 1 ribbon bow

Method

• First, fold the A4 card in half to form an A5 landscape card.
• Mark and cut a straight line down the centre of the front of the card to form two flaps.
• On the right hand flap, score across at 9.5 cms and then mark up 4 cm from the bottom and cut off that part. (This piece of card will be used for a sentiment)
•  On the left hand flap, score across at 7.5 cm.
• Fold both flaps so that they form “mountain folds”

• Take the A6 piece of card and stick it to the bottom of the fold on the left hand flap as shown.

• Cut backing card and background paper to size.
• Mat and layer the card and paper onto the card base as shown. 

• Using the largest of the small oval nestability die, cut the centre of one of the pictures. Layer it onto the other picture using a foam pad, or silicone glue.
• Mat and layer the picture onto the A6 piece of card.

• Stamp a verse onto the spare piece of card from the base card and mat and layer onto the bottom half of the right hand flap.

• Using foam tape/pads attach the “stops” to the card base.

• Decorate the “stops” with flowers, gems or embellishments of choice.

•  Stamp a sentiment onto spare card and stick on the bottom of the base (or use a peel off).
