“Create With Kathe” For Thursday, 12th February 2015


#CreateWithKathe #JorjaRoseFiles

After Thursdays “Card Off” with Jen being such a great success, I decided to teach my crafty ladies the “4 Panel Card” this week.
This was a mammoth project and they did so well!

Project 1 "4 Easel Panel Card"
This version is Strawberry Slush with Blushing Bride, whereas last weeks combo was Elegant Eggplant and Wisteria Wonder.
This "4 Easel Panel" card features the stamp sets "Petal Potpourri", "Something To Say" and "Kinda Eclectic".

I first saw this sketch/design by Debbie Henderson over at "Debbie's Designs" as she has also recently made a 4 Easel Panel card, based on measurement by Diane Kirk.
To read my construction details is full, please go to my latest "Card Off” With Jen Blog post, click here 








Wah-lah ... "4 Easel Panel Card" done {again!}!






Wah-lah ... "4 Easel Panel Card" done {again!}!

Project 2 Masculine “Big Day” + “Celebrate Today” Card
Our second card was a “Z Fold” card, and featured the “Floral Frames” Collection Framelits, which were in last weeks Weekly Deals, they paired back nicely with the {My Digital Studio} Medallion stamp, which was stamped in Sahara Sand.


The sentiment is from the Sale-A-Bration stamp set “Big Day”, and  is stamped in Early Espresso, and then dipped into the Clear Emboss Power, whilst the ink was still wet, then heat set with the Heat Tool.
Love the combo on the Burlap Ribbon {leftovers from the “Burlap and Blooms” Kit} and the Early Espresso Seam Binding Ribbon.


For the card insert, I choose to do a “ba-bam!” when opening the card, with the gorgeous balloons {from the “Celebrate Today” stamp set and matching “Balloons” Framelits} in Gold Stampin’ Emboss Powder, with an accent of Night Of Navy and Vellum.
The sentiment “Happy Birthday” {from the “Big Day” stamp set} is also stamped in Night Of Navy


The finishing touch is the Pearl Basic Jewel, which has been coloured with the “Skin Tone” Blendabilities, which gives it a nice chocolaty look.
The pairing of Night Of Navy, Soft Suede, Early Espresso and Naturals White gives this card a nice masculine feel.
Wah-lah … Masculine “Big Day” + “Celebrate Today” card done!

For my project, I have deceived on a Chalkboard Easel Card, and features the Sale-A-Bration rewards of “Best Year Ever” Designer Series Paper, and stamp sets “Big Day” and “Simply Wonderful”.


Crumb Cake cardstock, measuring 4”x 11” is scored at 5 ½”, and folded in half. Both sides {one side at a time though!} are stamped with the Hardwood stamp and Versamark, and embossed with the Heat Tool and Clear Stampin’ Emboss Powder.
The “Squares Collection” Framelits are used to cut the lower part of the card, to form the Easel.
The 3”x3” chalkboard is made with the new “Chalkboard Paper” {#137786 $16.95 for 10 sheets}, and embossed with the Heat Tool and White Stampin’ Emboss Powder, and then coloured with the Calypso Coral, Coastal Cabana, Daffodil Delight, and Melon Mambo Blendabilities {selected Blendabilities are also available in the Sale-A-Bration catalogue}.
The Chalkboard it then adhered to the Crumb Cake cardstock with Tape {or your choice of adhesive}.
The Banner/Swag is created using the Banner Punch {#133519 $22.95} and the “Best Year Ever” Designer Series Paper, and is adhered with Stampin’ Dimensionals, Early Espresso Bakers Twine is knotted and adhered with Glue Dots, to hang the Swag from.
On the reverse, a cute little bow is made with the new “Bow Builder” Punch {#137414 $35.95} and more of the “Best Year Ever” Designer Series Paper.
Bermuda Bay Sequin Trim is added for a bit of bling!


For the card insert, Naturals White cardstock {3”x3”}, is framed with Soft Suede cardstock 3 ¼ “x 3 ¼ “, and the “Simply Wonderful” stamp set is coloured with the Early Espresso, Melon Mambo and Old Olive Stampin’ Write Markers.


A frame for the sentiment is in Soft Suede cardstock, and cut with the Circles Collection and Deco Labels Collection Framelits and adhered with Tape.
The finishing touch is the Linen Thread which has been knotted and attached the easel, which gives it a realistic effect and functions so as to keep the easel upright.
Wah-lah … Chalkboard Easel Card done!

Happy craftin',
Kathe.
