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!

Kathe.
