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!

Great projects Kathe. I love the use of the different coloured chalk inks.
ReplyDeleteI love how you have coloured the Embossing with Blendabilities Thanks for sharing :)
ReplyDeleteVery cute card and I love how you have show cased the chalk inks.
ReplyDeleteLove the easel card, so cute! :)
ReplyDeleteThis is stunning Kathe! I love how you have coloured the embossing with the Blendys - wow!
ReplyDeleteWow Kathe this is gorgeous! Whoever gets given this card is very lucky, it's had double the decoration with both front and back! You are braver than I am, using a heat tool and embossing powder at this time of year. I have a ban on my heat tool at the moment, it's too hot :-). Love how you coloured the white embossing with your blendabilities. I was thinking of doing that with this set. Just waiting for it to cool down a bit!
ReplyDeleteClever idea to use the chalkboard paper to make a blackboard. Perfect with the hardwood stamp. Love the little banner across and the bow too.
ReplyDeletevery cute Kathe! Love both of your cards and neat idea!
ReplyDeleteLovely - I haven't made a card in this style and great that you've told us how to recreate. Well done. TFS
ReplyDeleteGreat cards Kathe love the "blackboard" style, its perfect!
