Bright & Beautiful Star Easel Card

Hello Everyone,

Happy Tuesday to you all.  It's warmed up into another gorgeous day here on the Sunshine Coast after the rain we had overnight brought from a storm and they say to expect more this evening.  I don't mind showers overnight at all.  It really cooled things off nicely here after a very hot day yesterday.

I've been playing with my cards here all day today because of an upcoming class and a number of special cards for Birthdays and events also required.  Today I've made a Christmas Easel Card in non traditional colours using the Bright and Beautiful stamp set and matching Star Framelits.

What do you think of this?


The colours are rich here stamped with inks of Blackberry Bliss and Perfect Plum and cardstock of Very Vanilla, Perfect Plum and Blackberry Bliss with a tiny bit of Silver glimmer paper.  Here is the side view of the card to show you how it sits.  The Star is actually a stand alone easel card which I've adhered to the base Perfect Plum card.


I've also taken a photograph of the inside of the easel opened and I have a closeup of that greeting on the front.



Finally, I wanted to show you the full card from the front view.  I think its rather elegant and also unique.



Please let me know what you think.  I would love to hear your thoughts on this card.  Have a lovely day.

Hello Everyone, Welcome to our Wednesday card sketch challenge at the Paper Craft Crew.  Here's our sketch this week    I'm using some designer papers called Merry Moments combined with Festival of Trees stamp and greeting from Teeny Tiny Sentiments.  The cardstock used is Whisper White and Smoky Slate with inks of Old Olive and Real Red.  The greeting comes from the Teeny Tiny Sentiments stamp set and has been punched out with the Washi Tape punch. Here's a closer look.  I love how the Designer papers add so much colour this this card.  The Festival of trees stamp has been combined with the Tree punch for this card. Thanks so much for joining me this week to view my card.  For more inspiration please visit the Paper Craft Crew challenge and see what our other Designers have created this week. Have a great day.

Light up your Christmas

Hi Everyone, You all know how I love my Easel Cards right?  Well I've added a little light to them in the form of the little battery operated candles.  Neil bought me some boxes of them online.  I've been playing around with a couple of different designs which are for an upcoming class of very Special Christmas cards with my group but thought you might like to see them.  This is the first one I've done using the retired stamp set Christmas Lodge.  It's a gorgeous set with this beautiful tree and really suits a vintage style Christmas Card.  I've also used the Deco Label Framelits which are fast becoming a favourite and the Beautifully Baroque and Fancy Fan Embossing Folders. The Cardstock is Cherry Cobbler, Early Espresso, Crumb Cake and Very Vanilla. I have the light on so you can see the gorgeous effect from the little candle.  Here is a photo when it's off. This is how it looks from the side.  It's like a tent.  Extra card was added to the len
