An Adventure Was Going to Happen

Hi Crafty Friends,

Thanks for stopping by my blog, today I am sharing a Pooh themed Slimline Easel Card I created recently.

For my card, I used the dies from the new Spellbinders Classic Pooh Collection.I saw these were going to be released in January when I was checking out the "Coming Soon" section on the Spellbinders website before Christmas  and have been impatiently waiting all year (yeah ok a month) for them to make it downunder.

My Slimline Easel Card measures 8 1/2 inches x 4 inches. I wanted the extra height so I could include all the characters from the various sets.

To create the card base, I used Lawn Fawns Lawn Fawn's Grassy Hillside Borders die set to add all the grassy areas on both the front and inside of the card.

I also wanted Pooh to be sitting against a tree, so I pulled out a tree die from Hello Bluebird to use for that. 

All the other die cut elements used to create this scene are included in the three "Pooh" themed die sets from Spellbinders. I spent a day assembling a heap of characters and so far have been able to make two cards from what I created and have enough left over for at least 2 or 3 more cards, which I will share as I make them.

And finally a look at the bottom panel when it is opened up. I added the honey pots and flowers to each side of the card and then a sentiment for a stopper, which will hold the front of the card up. The sentiment is from the Silly Old Bear Betterpress Plate set.
