Theme Day Thursday - Winter Activity Tag

Hello everyone!


Today the challenge for the design team is winter activities! There are many things we do in the winter, but I decided that I wanted to create a tag featuring ice skating. 

..

I used the Winter Frolic cart for this cute tag! I cut the ice skater and her layers at 2 3/4 inches. I sprayed the tag with Caribbean Blue glimmer mist. I used a snowflake stamp and white pigment ink from Close to My Heart, I used my heating tool and clear embossing powder on the stamped snowflakes. This project took approximately 30 minutes to complete! 


I hope I have inspired you to become more crafty! Check out some other projects from design team members at Erica's Craft Room. Happy Crafting!!! 

Wide easel card

Here is another easel card that I created. A young woman from a paper craft group I belong to made this type of card and was kind enough to share her measurements with me. This card is just as easy as the other easel cards that I have made previously.

For the main part of the card you will need a piece of card stock that measures 8 x 11. You will score it at 2 3/4 inches and 5 1/2 inches. Fold it once, then fold it again into itself. You will also need a piece of card stock that measures 5 1/2 inches x 8 inches. 
The winter time sentiment comes from some Cosmic Cricket paper from my stash. The red snowflake paper comes from a Recollections winter paper pack. I used the Winter Frolic cartridge for the boy sledding down the hill. The pearls are adhesive backed from Close to My Heart.

I hope that I have inspired you to become more creative! Happy Crafting! ♥

Another easel card! ♥

Here is another easel card I made. I really like making them as they are sooooooo very easy to make!!!!! This one was made using the Winter Frolic cartridge. The Snow Day "sentiment" that I cut out came from some Cosmic Cricket paper that I received in a swap. The "snow angel" was cut out at 2 3/4 inches. The easel card was made using the same measurements as the previous easel card posted (see January 7th post). The pearls are adhesive backed pearls from CTMH. 

Happy New Year! - Easel Card

Happy New Year everyone!


Now that the holiday season is over, I can get back to creating and playing with paper! I was given a challenge to create a card called an easel card. I had never created one before because I was under the impression that they were difficult to create. Well I was WRONG, LOL! They are absolutely the easiest thing to make!

Here is what mine looks like:

Easel cards come in different sizes. But I will give you the info on how I made mine. Take a piece of card stock that measures 4 x 11. Score it 5 1/2 inches & 8 inches. You will also need two base pieces of card stock measuring about 4 x 5 1/2 inches. Fold the longer piece down and into itself again. When folded, the fold will create a triangle. Adhere one of the smaller pieces to the folded card stock and the other to the bottom of the folded card stock. Use one piece (or more, LOL) of embellishment to keep the card in place...and that will make your easel card! The cut comes from the Winger Frolic cartridge and the bling and sentiments are from  CTMH (Holiday Wishes Stamp Set). The green paper is from Recollections. 

If you want more detailed instructions, shoot me an email and I'll send them to you! Enjoy!!!!! ♥
