An Elegant Triple Easel Card

Hi there! It’s Judy here with my first Guest Designer project for Tres Jolie Kit Club for the month of September.

I am using this month’s Card’s Tags and More Kit. This kit includes 6, 8 x 8 double sided papers and 3 sheets of toppers from Katy Sue Designs. 

There’s also a pack of Prima Flowers, Wood Embellishments from… 

A cutting die from Frantic Stampers, a yard of lace and 8 A4 sheets of white card stock.

My project is An Elegant Triple Easel Card.

I started by die cutting 3 shaped card bases using the card stock included in the kit. These cards are 3 different sizes, a large, medium and small. You can just create 3 square cards if you do not have shaped dies.

I also pulled out one of the topper sheets and will use one for each card, again in a large, medium and small size.

The inside edges of each card were inked with a metallic gold ink pad.

Next I did some more die cutting.

Red card stock was cut and added to the inside of each card.

Gold foil card stock was die cut for each card front.

Red rectangles were cut to add to the card fronts.

The gold die cuts were adhered to the bottom half of the card fronts and the red rectangles layered over them.

I die cut a piece of white card stock to layer onto the red die cut inside the large card.

Next I die cut gold circles to add to the card fronts before adding the adhering the toppers. 

To finish the largest card I fussy cut some flowers from one of the patterned papers to the inside to act as the easel “stopper”.

A sentiment was die cut and adhered to the front and the fussy cut flowers were added to the inside with foam tape for the stopper piece.

Now to finish the 2 smaller cards.

I took one of the cut apart pieces and fussy cut more flowers. These will be combined with one of the wooden embellishments from the kit to act as the stoppers.

The wooden embellishment piece was painted with green metallic paint which came from last month’s Mixed Media Kit. It was cut into 2 pieces once the paint dried.

Add one of the wooden pieces and some of the fussy cut flowers to the medium size card.

Embellishments are added to the smallest card.

Adhere the medium card to the right corner of the large card.

Add the small card to the left corner of the large card.

This side by side triple easel card is complete.

I hope you like my Elegant Triple Easel Card and have inspired you to give one a try.

My DT card was created using

Last Minute Manda

I colored the image with pencils and used a circle die to cut around.

Ribbon and a bow to the bottom.

The card base was die cut.

Happy Fall

Hello there!

Today I'm sharing inspiration for

Pajama Crafter Stamps!

My card was created with a Prickley Pear stamp set called

Zipper Card Fall/Halloween

and the Stitched Scalloped Border Die Set.

I started by creating a background using one of the dies 

and cutting one edge of 3 pieces of fall colored card stock.

These were layered onto the cream colored card base.

3 of the images from the stamp set are used.

I stamped the row of pumpkins twice, the sunflower 5 times and

the "Happy Fall" sentiment.

The all were colored with pencils and fussy cut before adding to the card.

Check these products out.

They are part of the Summer Blowout Sale going on!

Burgundy & Gold Shaker Card

Hey there! Today I'm sharing a new project for CutCardStock. I am trying to create more masculine cards and I think this burgundy & gold shaker card fits the bill.

Materials

5 x7 Burgundy Basis Card, Burgundy Basis Card Stock, Cougar Natural Card Stock, Gold Bright Foil 10 pt Card Stock

Acetate, Saxophone Die, Banner Dies, Celebrate Sentiment Die, Double Sided Tape, Foam Tape, Glue, Chunky Star Glitter, Music Note Punch

Card Base

Start by cutting mat and background card stock pieces.

The burgundy card measures 5 x 7 inches. Cut a piece of the gold foil card stock to 4 1/2 x 6 1/2 inches. A piece of the natural card stock measures 4 3/8 x 6 3/8 inches. I also cut nine 1/4 inch pieces of the gold foil. These are for creating stripes for the background.

Adhere the 1/4 inch gold strips to the natural card stock diagonally across the top three-quarters of this piece.

Mat the natural piece onto the gold foil and add this to the burgundy card.

Die Cutting

Combine two sizes of banner dies to create a 1/2 inch width frame and cut out of burgundy card stock. Do the same to make a thinner gold frame. These pieces will form the shaker element for the card.

Die cut the saxophone.

A full size banner is cut out of natural card stock as the backing of the shaker piece. Adhere a gold “celebrate” sentiment. Add a piece of acetate to the backside of the 1/2 inch wide banner frame and add the thinner gold frame to the front.

Finishing

To put the shaker piece together, add two layers of foam tape to the backside of the frame piece and fill with the chunky star glitter. Place the solid natural colored banner onto the back to close. Add the shaker piece to the card.

The saxophone die cut goes on next and add some music notes. The project is complete!

Thanks so much for taking the time to check out my project. I hope I have given you some inspiration.

Woof 3D Frameable Project

Hi there! I'm here today with a new Clear Scraps project created with one of the 3D Frameables and a Word n Shape set.

 

These products are so fun with several styles of frames and themes to choose from. They are laser cut 1/8 inch birch wood.

 

Since I am highlighting a photo of my dog Abby and my grand puppy Jonas I went with the3D Frameable Square Frame and the Woof Word n Shape set.

Gather materials for the project.

I pulled out 2 patterned papers, a paint brush and acrylic paints.

The base pieces, the frame back and the “woof” wood pieces were painted. I realized after painting the frame back piece that it really didn’t need to be painted, as it doesn’t show unless your photo is smaller than the frame opening.

 

Next, I traced the frame and bone pieces on the back of the patterned papers and cut out to adhere to the front sides.

I glued the photo onto the backside of the frame and then adhere with wood glue to the frame backing.

All that’s left to do is add the pieces to the base and add embellishments if desired.

I added some heart and a “friends” die cuts.

 

Thanks for taking a look at my project!
