Easel card with extras

I added an extra bit to my easel card that I showed you how to make a couple of posts back. You can find it here.

Now you can make a card with a little drawer underneath to pop a little gift inside. If you would like the template for the box, you can download it here.

The "water from the can was made using beading thread and silver glass seed beads.  It might have been better to have the water actually going on the flowers - maybe I'll do that if I use that effect another time. Paper punches by Tonic Studios, Image from the "graphics fairy" Quote by me.

Easel Card Template

As I said in my last post, I've been trying out some new card shapes, just to have a change. I made this easel card using the following dimensions. (Click to enlarge the image if you are having trouble viewing it.)

I used my Tonic Studios Super trimmer for cutting and scoring the card, and I used my shape mates for the circle. The circle shape mate I used is actually slightly over the 12cm, but it still works fine with the card. In fact, it works better than exactly 12cm if I come to think about it.

Then you glue the circle to the card and trim the excess. Then you decorate as you desire.

I used a little button for this card to keep the card propped up. You can use a cut out shape on sticky pads if you prefer.

I stuck punched flowers behind the greeting to frame it with a colourful border.The other punch used in this card is the Multi Detail Butterfly.

For a completely different look, I went a bit monochrome.

With this card I used a petal pairs punch around the edge for a pretty border.

The difference with this card is that I added an extra fold which foreshortens the base of the card and provided a little ledge to stick the dotty border onto.

The image is from the Graphics Fairy.

So with one template,I have created two different looks.
I hope you have fun if you try this.
