Tutorial: One In A Million Easel Card

Recently one of my downline Debbie W. of Indianapolis made me a couple of easel cards which I loved.  I decided I wanted to teach this special fold at my January Stamp Camps. 

 

For this card I used the Quite Curvy Stamp Set and the Curvy Dies, along with the Flowers & Field Designer Series Paper. It is such a pretty card and is the card I sent this week to my granddaughter for her 18th birthday.

 

INSTRUCTIONS:

1. Cut a piece of 8-1/2” x 4-1/2]4” Misty Moonlight cardstock and score at 2-1/8” and 4-1/4” for card base.  This will look like a small Z-fold card.

2. Cut a 4” x 4” piece of Misty Moonlight cardstock Adhere this to the small flap of the  Z-fold portion.  This now becomes the front flap of the card.

3. Cut a piece of 4” x 2” Flowers & Field Designer Series Paper (SAB) and adhere to the bottom of the front flap.

4. Cut a piece of 4” x 4” Whisper White cardstock and using the Curvy flower edge die from the Curvy Dies, cut thee bottom of the piece. Stamp “you're one in a Million” from the Quite Curvy Stamp Set in Misty Moonlight Ink.  Adhere this to the small flap of the  Z-fold portion.  This now becomes the front flap of the card.

5. Stamp a scrap piece of Whisper White cardstock with the Love image from the Posted For You Stamp Set in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink. Color the image with Stampin’ Blends:  Mint Macaron, Shaded Spruce, Balmy Blue, Misty Moonlight and Soft Suede.  Punch out stamped image with the Postage Stamp Punch.

6. Using the Misty Moonlight In Color Ribbon, add to the back of the postage stamped image and adhere to card using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

7. For the inside of the card add a 4” x 1” piece of Flowers & Field Designer Series Paper (SAB) and adhere to the middle of the 4” x 4” Whisper White cardstock. Adhere piece to the inside of the card.

8. Cut out a small rectangle using the Rectangle Stitched Dies and stamp with the “Happy Birthday” from the Posted For You Stamp Set in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink.  Adhere to the designer strip using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

9. Stamp the “Special Delivery” image from the Posted For You Stamp Set in Misty Moonlight Ink on the front of the envelope.

New Basic White Products

Recently the mill where Stampin Up! purchased all their Whisper White products closed down suddenly due to the Covid issues that struck many small businesses.  Stampin' Up! was left to find another mill that could supply the company with the same quality cardstock and envelopes.  They were able to do so and we now have new "Basic White" products.  The old numbers for the Whisper White cardstock will not work when ordering the new white products so you will need to use the numbers below.  The new product and numbers will be in the 2021-22 Annual Catalog which will be out in June.

Sympathy Cards

I apologize for not posting for awhile but these past two weeks have been very difficult for me.  My beautiful mother passed away on January 9th.  My brothers, sisters and I were able to take turns sitting with her the week before she passed.  While we are all saddened by her death and will greatly miss her, she left a beautiful legacy behind:  10 children, 27 grandchildren and 49 great-grandchildren.  

 

 

 

I want to thank everyone who sent me cards, flowers and especially the Masses to be said in her memory.  I wanted today to share some of the beautiful hand-crafted cards I received.  

In the meantime...
