Fall Easel Card Tutorial + Video

Hi everyone, Rina here!

I am loving the transition to fall crafting and wanted to make a super fun fall card with the latest Pretty Pink Posh release. The new Autumn Wreath stamp set pairs up so well with the Pumpkin Patch Critters set so I decided to combine these stamp sets for my ‘Thankful for You” card using the latest script die.  I also wanted to use the new Espresso jewels, which are a new favorite of mine.

I colored the images with copic markers in the following colors and cut them with the coordinating dies.

• Brick Reds – E07, E08, E09
• Warm Grey – W1, W3, W5, W7
• Warm Browns – E53, E50, E30, E34, E37, E33, E51, E35
• Olive Greens – BG93, BG96, BG99
• Oranges – Y17, YR21, YR04

Creating the expanded easel card:

• Cut a 8 ½ x 11 inch piece of white cardstock in half, you will have two pieces of 4 ¼ x 11 paper
• Take one piece and score and fold at 2 ¾ inches and 5 ½ inches, fold to create the easel stand
• Take the other piece and score and fold at 1 3/8, 2 ¾, 4 1/16, and 5 ½ inches, fold to create the easel card front
• Add adhesive to the easel stand and adhere the easel card front
• Decorate your card front, I used mats but you can ink blend, watercolor, or choose whatever way you want to create the background
• If you are going to mat your images the dimensions are 4 1/8 x 5 3/8 for the big panel and 4 1/8 x 1 ¼ for the 3 smaller mats for the “mountains”

Once you have created your card base, adhere the images to the mats and decorate your wreath with the new jewels!  For the sentiment I used the new Thankful for You Script die, it is perfect for the season!
