Pocket Easel, Card

Always on the look out for a different card shape, I came across another option for an "Easel Card". The card that inspired me was too small to mail...but, it had a twist on the easel card I made a few posts ago~ a POCKET easel card!! Inspired, excited & tickled pink I sat at my craft table and worked the card stock until I came up with the dimensions that would allow the Pocket Easel Card to fit into an average size envelope, perfect for mailing. Ultimately, this is what I eventually came up with (for the second card project at my card club group):


It is a pocket, Easel Card! It stands up on it's own. And, is created out of one 12x12 piece of card stock.




Here's the basic instructions.
1. Score a piece of 5-1/2 x 12 card stock at 2, 4, 8, & 10 inches. Fold Score Lines.

2. Fold edges under the center part of the card base and stamp image with Rich Razzleberry ink & sentiment. Punch top with the circle punch. Glue the back edges together. Set aside.

3. Stamp sentiment & swirls, with Rich Razzleberry ink, on the very vanilla card stock (size is 3-1/11x5-1/5). Matt on top of Rich Razzleberry (size 3-1/4x5-1/2).

4. Stamp small flower with Versa Mark on front of the card five times. Using your chalk applicator rub versa mark image with Rich Razzleberry Chalk. Stamp one time on the inside piece & cover with chalk.

5. Slide the center piece into the card and mark the center with a pencil. Pull out and punch a hole with your hand held hole punch.

6. Thread satin ribbon through the hole. Tie gold cord around satin ribbon. Trim ribbon and cording.

7. Apply bling to the center of the chalked flowers.
