Fun Fold Friday- Happy Hibiscus Easel Card

 


Fun Fold Friday with a Happy Hibiscus Easel Card! 
Learn how to make this card using products from my Online Stampin' UP! store! 


I added an extra score line that allows the card to bend into a triangle. Then in the inside of the card I created a little pocket using embossed Basic White with Stampin' Dimensionals. 


Here is a close up look at the embossed and die cut cardstock to create the hibiscus flowers. I also used this set to make my December Card Class Club Kit. You can see those when you click HERE for more ideas with this bundle. 

Supplies


Measurements
Thick Basic White: 4 1/4" x 11" scored @ 2 3/4" & 5 1/2", 4" x 5 1/2" (embossed), 4 1/8" x 5 3/8" (matte), 1" x 3" (die cut label), 2" x 2" (die cut flowers), 4 1/4" x 2" (inside pocket)
Lemon Lime Twist: 3" x 2" (3 leaves)
Pool Party: 3 1/2" x 4 1/4"
Petal Pink: 3 1/2" x 4 1/4"
Calypso Coral: 3 1/2" x 4 1/4"
*I die cut and embossed 3 flowers of each color and mix them up to make 3 cards

Steps
  1. Measure, score, and cut your paper. 
  2. Using the measurements above, die cut and emboss all of the flowers. 
  3. Stamp with Calypso Coral the "You make me Smile" or the "Congratulations" onto the label. 
  4. Use the sponge daubers to add ink to the inside of the embossed flowers. Match the cardstock with the ink. 
  5. Glue the Basic White matte to the embossed paper and attach it to the card front below the score line only. 
  6. Attach the large flowers with dimensionals and the leaves and white flowers with liquid glue. 
  7. Place some Linen Thread behind the label and attach it with dimensionals. 
  8. Place the Riverside Pearls in the center of the Basic White Flowers. 
  9. For the inside, attach the embossed 2" x 4 1/4" Basic White with dimensionals around the bottom and edges but avoid on the top. This will create a pocket.

New at SU Blog Hop- All Tied Up with Dotted Ribbon Knot Bow

 


Welcome to the NEW AT SU! Blog hop! We are a group of StampinUp! Independent Demonstrators from around the world who are full of creative paper crafting ideas to share with you and get you crafting! Today's HOP THEME: 
Tied Up with Bows.  

I choose to use the Real Red & Gold Dotted Ribbon to make a "knot bow". 


Product List
Real Red & Gold 3/8" (1 Cm) Dotted Ribbon
[162353]
$9.00

Now on Sale for just $4.50 in the US!


This card is simple. No stamping. I used the Memories & More Card Pack but the ribbon is what takes simple, to something a little more special. It adds a layer and texture! 


I even used the precut dies for the inside of the card (quick and easy card for last minute Christmas cards). 


I just LOVE the "knot bow". It is a great way to make a bow without all of the bulk and is perfect for wider ribbons. 


The secret is to use two pieces of ribbon. One to wrap around the paper and one to make the knot bow! It allows you freedom to slide it where ever you want it to go! 

This is just one idea on how to use Stampin' UP!'s ribbon! For more ideas keep on "hopping" through the blogs with Crafter's Northwest up next!
