ARCHED EASEL

 Today’s card features the Beautiful Gallery DSP and the Everyday Arches Dies.  I decided that an easel card utilizing these arched dies would be great and the Beautiful Gallery DSP was perfect for the focal point.

Here is what I came up with…

The card base is Secret Sea cardstock cut to 4 ¼ x 11” and scored at 5 ½” and 2 ¾”.  I then went to work on my arches.  I took one of the pieces of the Beautiful Gallery DSP and cut it down to 4 ¼” and then cut it in half at 3” (this means you can get two cards out of each sheet with 1 ½ x 6” remaining to use on another project).  I then used the 5^th largest of the dies from the Everyday Arches Dies and die cut it.  Next, I moved onto my Cloud Cover cardstock which I cut to 4 ¼ x 5 ½” and then cut it out with the largest of the dies from the set.  I also wanted a layer of Mossy Meadow so I cut my cardstock to 3 ½ x 4 ¾” and cut it with the 3^rd largest of the dies from the set. 

To assemble the card, you fold it at the 5 ½” score line in a mountain fold and again at the 2 ¾” score line also in a mountain fold.  I adhered all three of the die cut layers together and then centered that with the bottom front of my card base.  I adhered just the bottom half of the arches to the card being sure not to add adhesive above the 2 ¾” score line (note: I used a light pencil line on the back of the arches so I would know where to put my adhesive and then just erased it one I had the adhesive in place).  To finish off the front of the card I took a piece of Cloud Cover cardstock that measured ¾ x 1 ¾” and stamped the sentiment “Thanks” from the Impressions Abloom Stamp Set onto it with Mossy Meadow ink (remember you can mix and match sentiments from any stamp set you own to make your card work for the occasion you want it for).

For the inside of the card, I added a piece of Basic White cardstock that measured 4 x 5 ¼”.  Then I took a piece of Basic White cardstock that measured ¾ x 3 ¼” and stamped the sentiment “I appreciate you” also from the Impressions Abloom Stamp Set onto it with Mossy Meadow ink (you can use anything you want to work as the stand for your easel, a sentiment, a flower, you name it).  I adhered this to a piece of Mossy Meadow cardstock that measured 1 x 3 ½” and added that to the center bottom of my white inside about ½” up with Dimensionals.  This gives my card front somewhere to lean against so it stands up. 

I hope you enjoy this card I certainly enjoyed making it.  As always you can find the supplies to create this card and more on my website at https://www.stampinup.com?demoid=2206796 or by clicking the shopping button at the top of this blog or the link to the supplies listed below.  Be sure to follow me at:
