Easel card eclipse

Hello everyone.

I made an easel eclipse card, something different. Here are some photos with instructions how I made this card.

For the card

Stamps by me flower stamp, stamped with black ink and lavender colour memento ink.

Tattered lace dies,

First edition alphabet dies,

Papermilldirect card and sequences, 

Close up view of the letters, I think darker colour card underneath stamped letters, purple or black will look better for dimensions on alphabets.

To make this card
 I stamped the image into circle card and added some lavender colour to the edge of the circle with ink.

Layered the alphabet dies (granny) to the image by using the ruler for straight line.

I used pencil to mark the letters and cut one of the letter N first, because I am using two letters the same. Then I secured the letters with tape and cut the rest of the letters using die cutting machine.

Cut three times each letter for layering in white card or you could use darker colour card.

Glue the stamped alphabets to the white die cut alphabets for dimensions as shown below,

 Making easel card. Fold A4 card in a half and add the circle die to the folded card leaving die little of the edge as shown below. Secure and cut.

Fold the top card in a half by using scoring board, be sure it is level with folded line.

 I used detailed circle die slightly bigger then the circle with the image and glued them together.

 Glued the alphabet and little stamped pieces back to the stamped background image  as you can see bellow little triangle for letter A.

 Here is the finished circle with Granny I attached to easel card by gluing to the bottom of the front folded card.

And here is finished card. I enjoyed making this card and our Granny loved this card from my boys.

Have a wonderful day.

Birthday girl cards

Hello everyone.

I chose tumbled glass, worn lipstick, spun sugar and tattered rose colours inks for the cards.

Idyllics die and embossing folder set, I used the die for background and blended yellow ink to the flowers.
