Pawsitively Awesome

Hi Crafty Friends,

It’s challenge time with the “Crazies” over on the Crazy 4 Challenges blog. Rebecca Ednie our challenge hostess for the month, finishes off the month with one last challenge.

Fancy fold cards are totally awesome! This week let’s try a tri-fold card. There are several different types. But they all have at least 2 folds and at least 3 panels.

I was making this card for another day, and then I realised it would fit this challenge ... so as you can see I used it!

This is a Reverse Easel Card, and as you can see it definitely has two folds and three panels.

To decorate my card I used the new MFT Stamps Puppy Love Die-namics for the cute little puppy. The sentiment at the base of the card is from Paper Rose Studio and is a stamp I picked up from a recent Paper Craft Show.

I added some bones to the bottom of the card which is from an older die set.

The sentiment at the top of the card is from Lawn Fawn's Critter Chatter stamp set.

This is the view of the inside of the card. I added a heart with an inset paw print the top right hand corner.

Here is my card when it is closed ready to be placed in an envelope.

I used one of the panels on the back of the card to add a birthday sentiment and paw print.

Songbird Reverse Easel Card

Hi Crafty Friends,

t’s challenge time with the “Crazies” over on the Crazy 4 Challenges blog. As challenge hostess for March, I continue to issue the challenges.

Apparently the 12th Match is Plant a Flower Day, so for our challenge this week include a flower or flowers on your card.

I have made many Easel Cards over the years of various types, but recently I have seen a few Reverse Easel Cards around on the Internet and of course I have to give it a go.

To create my card I used Concord & 9th's Songbird Clear Stamp set which I have had sitting on my desk for a few months now. This stamp set allows you to decorate the branches for whatever season you want. I decided to go for Spring/Summer so added flowers.

I stamped the bird onto a white circle which had been die cut using a circle from the MFT Stamps Wonky Stitched Circles Stax.

Here is a look at my card when it is closed ready to be placed in an envelope. I added Crushed Grape Nuvo Drops to the centre of the flowers after I took the photos.

On the base of the card I added a circle to the base. I then added a sentiment which is stamped using the Honey Bee Stamps Banner Builder die set, this panel is adhered to the base using foam tape which helps keep the card open.

I also added a few flowers and leaves around the top part of the circle.

This card has space on the back, so I used this to add a panel for another sentiment and a place to add a handwritten sentiment.
