Here is a different style card I made using new dies I got on sale a while back. For Craft Roulette #259 I CASEd this round easel card after keeping it in mind for a long time from The Stamp Market's shop samples. The "funn" parameters this week were:
Project: Card with two folds
Colors: Jelly Beans
Element: Math
Random: Use markers
My use of them was this easel card, with the round card base (one fold) and the fold on the top of the card base (second fold) which has a circle attached for embellishing/stamping. Then the Easter jelly bean colors, counting up to a gazillion, and I used a Wink of Stella pen/marker on the yellow pieces of my card for sparkle.
The Stamp Market - Succulents die set
Stampin' Up! - Really Retro stamp set
Simon Says Stamp - Circle dies
Pink and Main - Banner dies
Wink of Stella pen/marker
Card stock scraps
Foam squares
I made a square card base then used a circle die, overlapping/extending the die off the edge of the fold about 1/4 " to keep the folded edge intact. Then I cut another circle of the same size. Next, I scored the top of the card base in half. The single circle got glued to half of the scored card base front. (see the second photo).
I assembled my plants and adhered them on the card front, then stamped and die cut the sentiment, popping it up on foam squares so that it could hold the decorated circle in place like an easel.
The card folds flat and fits in an A2 envelope!
It was kind of a quick card and I'd like to make some more of these! I like a card that can be displayed on a desk or shelf.
It was a good set of parameters and I had time to enter it this week!! See you soon and thanks for stopping by!
