Beach Play Sophie Easel Card

Hi! Now that summer has finally arrived there's nothing better than a day on the beach playing in the sand!

Today I am on the Little Blue Button Stamps Blog with this fun little easel card. I used  "Beach Play Sophie" which can be found here:  https://lbbstamps.com/product/beach-play-sophie-digi-stamp/

The card base is "Bright Side Easel Card" from My Scrap Chick which you can find here:  https://www.myscrapchick.com//product.cfm?product=779

I made the card slightly larger at about 5 by 7 inches. Using Design Space I attached the image to the cloud and printed it using the print then cut function. I colored her using my Spectum Noir Alcohol Markers. 

The sentiment is from Digital Delights by Louby Loo. The final touch  was a row of white lace and blue striped ribbon added to the card base.

Thanks for stopping by!

Sophie With Umbrella Easel Card

"April showers bring May flowers" or at least we hope so!

I used the sweet digi stamp, "Sophie With Umbrella" from Little Blue Button Stamps on my card.

She can be found here: https://lbbstamps.com/product/sophie-with-umbrella-digi-stamp/

I colored the image using my Spectrum Noir TriBlend Markers. She was added to the finished card with foam squares.

I created this umbrella shaped easel card in Design Space. 

You should be able to access the Design Space file here:
https://design.cricut.com/#/design/141213820

I used patterned cardstock from the "Uptown Flair Glitter Stack" by the paper studio for my card. I made mountain folds on the green umbrella piece and added it to the card with a double foam square in the center and small glue dots at the points. Clear flower gems were added at the points also.

I added my sentiment to an octagon and matted the sentiment with the same paper as used on the umbrella. I added it to the card with foam squares, then added some clear flower gems around the sentiment. These help to hold the easel part of the card. 

Thanks for stopping by! I'd love to hear what you think.

Tea Time

Hi! I find a good cup of tea so relaxing on a cold January day, don't you?

I made this sweet little easel card using Teapot Card and Envelope and an oval easel card base from Easel Card Collection. Both files are from My Scrap Chick.

                                                                       

                                                         

The image is from Magnolia and was colored with Spectrum Noir Alcohol Markers.

I made the card from Cardstock from the Samantha Rose Stack from DCWV along with some scraps from my paper stash. I omitted the card layer of the file, and attached the teapot to the easel card base, I attached the image and the sentiment with foam tape, then added paper flowers, a tiny butterfly, and an aqua bow as accents.

You can turn any shape into an easel card by attaching it to an easel card base from My Scrap Chick. Give it a try. I have to admit that I have a special fondness for easel cards.

Thanks for stopping by.

Happy Crafting!

Caroling Kids Easel Card

Hi! There is still time to get those last minute Christmas cards made. Today I'm sharing an easel card made with the sweet image,  Caroling Kids .

My easel card was made using a card base from Bird's Cards.

I colored the "Caroling Kids " using Prismacolor Pencils and added a light-post paper piecing behind the image.

 The large snowflake was cut from pearlescent and glitter cardstock. The sentiment, from Cricut, was added to a snowflake and pearls and glitter snowflake stickers were added as a final touch.

Thank you for looking! Have a great crafty day!

Merry Christmas!

Believe

Do you believe in mermaids? It would be great if they really exist. Today I am sharing an easel card using Mermaid Digital Stamp from Little Blue Button Stamps.

I made an easel base by welding two base pieces from the Seashell Narwhal pattern together at the bases. I folded the top half of the top half over to attach the paper piecing to.  The paper piecing was cut from glitter cardstock.

Look on the Bright Side

Hi! Today I am sharing a card I made by combining two files from My Scrap Chick, Bright Side Easel Card and "Umbrella Boat" from  Rainy Day Fun Digi Stamps.    

  
                                                              

I loaded the digi stamp into Design Space and sized it along with the card. I also made an extra cloud and a second mat for the base. The card was put together using glue and foam tape between the layers.
I colored the digi stamp with Prismacolor pencils, mounted it on a sturdy piece of cardstock, then fussy cut around it. I added a blue wave from Cricut to the bottom. The image was then added to the card base using a 1 inch by 5 inch strip of sturdy cardstock. I folded the strip at each inch line then glued the first section to the fifth to make a square. I then glued the square to the back of the "Umbrella Boat" as shown.

This was all glued to the main card as shown.

I added the sentiment to the second cloud then added it with foam tape to the left side. A double mat, a bit of ribbon and some buttons were added to the card base to finish the card.

The whole card can be folded flat for mailing.

I hope you liked my card and thanks for stopping by. 

Have a great day!

Blooming Layers Easel Card

Hi! Today I am sharing a card I made using one of my favorite My Scrap Chick files, "Blooming Layers Easel Card." You can find it here:   https://www.myscrapchick.com//product.cfm?product=1929

The prints I used for the flower are from the Samantha Rose Stack by DCWV. The solid cardstock I used was from Recollections. I used foam tape between the layers to give the flower dimension. 

The leaf sprigs are from the Apple Blossom file that was a freebie a while back. You can find it here:

  https://www.myscrapchick.com//product.cfm?product=2174

I added some pre-made paper flowers, a pre-made butterfly, a sentiment I created in Design Space and I was finished. It makes for an easy, beautiful card. 

Check back tomorrow to see what else I add to this card to make it even more special.

Thanks for stopping by! Have a great day!

BBQ Apron Easel Card

Hi! Today I am sharing a BBQ Apron Father's Day Easel Card.

For my card I used BBQ Pocket Easel Card  and  # Happy Father's Day from My Scrap Chick.

                                          

This cute BBQ apron has a front pocket to tuck in a BBQ Sauce bottle, a BBQ mitt and BBQ utensils. 

MATERIALS

Dots, Stripes and Plaids Stack by DCWV

Glitter Cardstock in green and blue by Recollections

Cardstock in white, light gray, dark gray, tan, orange and reddish brown

5/8 inch striped grosgrain ribbon

two 1/2 inch green buttons 

glue, large glue dots and foam tape

I made my card slightly larger than given. (The largest piece measured 11 1/2 inches tall.) I used the plaid cardstock for the base and the blue print for the apron. I duplicated the apron piece and made it about an inch smaller than the original apron piece. This was cut from white. I cut the pocket piece off, then layered this white piece over the blue apron piece as shown. (A message could be added to the white layer.) I cut slits at the top of the apron to run the ribbon through, turned the ribbon up about an inch, then glued it in place. Green buttons was attached with a large glue dot. More ribbon was tied around the pocket of the apron. 

The # Happy Father's Day sentiment was sized to fit on the mats. The sentiment was glued to the center of the white mat, the white mat was glued to the blue mat, and the completed sentiment was attached to the card base with foam tape.

 

I love how this card turned out!

 Thanks for stopping by.

Happy Father's Day!
