Triple Easel Card
Welcome friends,
Today’s project is a triple easel card, and features the stamp set Friend Like You and the coordinating Friendly Silhouettes dies.
The easel card is my contribution to the latest ColourINKspiration challenge #81. This week it’s all about Cinnamon Cider, Real Red, Crumb Cake and white.
The 3 panels
It’s a little tricky to photograph, but hopefully this side-view image makes a bit more sense.
Back Panel
Here is a close-up view of the back panel.
One of the dies in the Friendly Silhouettes pack includes this negative cut-out die of the trees. It’s really very clever how It works.
Middle Panel
And here is the middle panel, which includes an embossed Crumb Cake layer, and a stitched square of white Cardstock with 2-step stamped images from the Friend Like You stamp set.
Front Panel
And finally, on the front panel we have the die cut reeds, which have been lightly coloured in Cinnamon Cider ink with the Wink of Stella Glitter Brush to add definition to the cattails.
Easel Stopper
A little raised die-cut dragonfly acts as the stopper for the easel card, and keeps all the layers standing up.
Folding the Triple Easel Card
When closed, the three panels collapse down on top of each other so it is a standard size when flat – 10.5cm x 14.5cm.
It fits perfectly into a regular C6 envelope. Nice!
There’s plenty of room to write your message under the folding easel layers too.
Measurements
This card was based on a few different versions but they were all in imperial measurements and started with US letter size paper. I have modified this to be in centimetres and to fit our A4 Cardstock with minimal cardstock wastage.
I’ve jotted the measurements down, but am in the process of putting together a tutorial for this card.
When complete, I’ll email the A4 tutorial to all my customers who place an order with me this month (you’ll need to give permission for me to access your email address when you place your online order). I hope you enjoy this extra little thank you for shopping with me. xxx
