Create With Kathe for Thursday 15th January 2014

This week, I piggy-backed my first project in with the Creative Inkers Sale-A-Bration Blog Hop.

To read all about the Blog Hop,and to view the construction details, please click here

This week we made two cards, the first card is 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”.

The second card I took inspiration from a Pin on Pinterest by Christyann Rothmel, but added my own twist!

My version featured the stamp sets “Groovy Love” and “Yippee-Skippee” + the “Ampersand” Textured Impressions Embossing Folder.

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.
