This was the card that caught my eye on Liz's card fold class! It looks like floating flowers! How fun!! And, it really is an easel card created with a Window Sheet. Who would have thought?? Of course, she used the gorgeous Valley in Bloom DSP and the dies from the Lily of the Valley dies. Such a unique card, unlike anything I've ever made!! (I did have to adjust it from a square card!) You have to give it a try! Enjoy!
Measurements:
- Garden Green: 1/2 sheet cut LENGTHWISE
- Granny Apple Green: 2: x 3 1/2"
- Lemon Lime Twist: 4" x 5 1/4", 1" x 3 1/8" (sentiment)
- Basic White: 2 pcs @ 3 1/2" x 4 3/4" (insides), 3/4" x 3" (sentiment), 2 1/2" x 4 1/2" (flower stems)
- Window Sheet: 3 1/2" x 5 1/4"
- Valley in Bloom DSP (N): 3 7/8" x 5 1/8" (corner floral)
To Make this Card:
- Adhere Lemon Lime Twist layer to folded Garden Green card base.
- Before adding corner floral DSP piece, stamp sentiment in Garden Green ink into opening left in DSP. Now, you can add it to the front of the card.
- Now, to work on the inside.
- Let's begin by die cutting 3 floral "sprigs" from White. Also, die cut 2 "leaves" from Granny Apple Green cardstock.
- Color the "stems" of the "sprigs" with a Granny Apple Green Blends. Add a little color to the "leaves" with a Blending Brush and Garden Green ink. Set this aside for the moment.
- Next, take the Window sheet, and score the short end at 1/2". You will need to push really hard to create the score line, and then use a bone folder to crease really firmly.
- Tuck one of the White layers underneath, so that you can see well enough to add the flowers to it.
- Arrange the 3 "sprigs" onto the Window Sheet. It is particularly difficult to glue onto acetate. So, I attached them with Mini Glue Dots on the flowers. You won't need to add one to each flower. Random dots work just fine.
- Lastly add "leaves" to the arrangement using Tear n Tape.
- Next, add the Window sheet to one of the White inside pieces with Tear n Tape, hooking the acetate over the edge of the layer. Then adhere the entire layer to the top part of the inside of the card. Notice the border is 3/8".
- The other White inside piece can be added at this time.
- Stamp sentiment onto white piece in Garden Green. Adhere to the Lemon Lime Twist layer.
- Then, add this to the bottom inside with Dimensionals, so you have a "prop" for the "easel".
- Finish front with embellishments of your choice.
