Easel Card Calendar Card Tutorial

By
 If you weren't lucky enough to be included in my recent giveaway - don't worry- I have written a tutorial so you can create one of your very own.

Here's what you will need
4" x 8" piece of card stock
Bone folder
4" x 4" piece of coloured card stock (plus a few scraps for decoration)
3.75" x 3.75" piece of white/cream card stock (suitable for stamping on)
Stamps
Inks
Mini Calendar - download a pdf version - HERE (print the calendar and cut to size. Secure with staples)
Flat backed gems/pearls.

Here's how to make it



Take your 4" x 8" card stock, fold in the middle and then fold one of the sections in half again. Crease well with a bone folder.

Take your 3.75" x 3.75" card stock and stamp your design. Stick onto 4" x 4" coloured card stock.
Punch some flowers from scraps of coloured card stock.
Add the flowers to the stamped design and also add some flat backed gems or pearls.
To the un-creased section of your card stick down the calendar plus a few more flowers and gems.
Fold down the creased side of the card and add the stamped card stock as shown in the photograph. The calendar will prevent the front of the card falling flat.














This is how your easel card will now look - it also folds flat for easy postage.















Hope you like my tutorial, for a full list of products used please see my post HERE - see you soon - Jacqueline xx

Yikes - I'm a bit late posting today, but when I got into my studio this morning I had forgotten that it looked like this I had a big family lunch yesterday and 'cos our house is so small, I have to keep stuff moving from room to room in order for there to be enough space. So I got to work straight away and now my desk looks like this There is a hidiously green magnetic board complete with snail magnets that I won in a raffle - just right for altering, some wooden drawer knobs onto which I will attach some foam to use with my disress inks and my chipboard albums from last week that I didn't get round to doing. Also found when clearing from one room to another was my old jewelery display board which will soon be converted to a card display board and an old set of corner shelves. All they needed was a quick flick of a J-Cloth and a spray of Flash (oops advertising - other cleaning products are avaliable) and they now stand proudly in my craft room displaying my most recent cr
