Happy Thursday everyone!
Today I have an easel card I made for The Scrapping Cottage using the Swans Die from the CottageCutz Wedding Release, along with the Starburst Flower, Happy, Anniversary, Fancy Lace Border and Greenery Dies.
It's hard to show just one picture of an easel card, so I have a bunch for you! Here's a view from the front.
Here are views from the side.
Here's the inside.
And finally, a close up of the front.
To make my card, I used cream card stock to create a 4 1/2" x 4 1/2" easel card. (If you're not familiar with easel cards, there is a tutorial on Split Coast Stampers here that you can refer to as a guide.) I added a black mat to part of the front that is embossed with a polka dot embossing folder and popped it on the base. I cut the Fancy Lace Border Die twice, once with black and again with LeCreme Designer Paper and added them to the bottom of the mat. The Swans Die was cut with the cream and added with pop dots. The 2 small flowers from the Starburst Flower Die with also cut with LeCreme DP and added the the Swan. Two leaves were added to either side of the flowers cut from the Greenery Die using black card stock.
For the inside of the card, I cut the sentiments using black card stock and added them by running them through my Xyron Create-a-sticker Machine. I then added a piece of black trim and one of the Greenery Dies cut using black card stock.
To finish my card, I added a bow made with Cream Seam Binding and a couple of black pearls.
These are the dies I used on my card.
Card Recipe:
Paper: Cream, LeCreme (DCWV), Black (Recollections)
Accessories: McGill Mat and Tool Kit, Bow-Easy, Cream Seam Binding (Really Reasonable Ribbon), adhesive pearl, Xyron Create-a-sticker Machine, trim (Jo-Anns).
