T his Twisted Easel Book Fold Card is easier than I expected. The unique folding design allows the card to stand up on its own, making it a fun and interactive way to present a card for special occasions. The 3D easel makes it eye-catching and adds an extra element of surprise and creativity to handmade cards. It's a great way to impress friends and family with a one-of-a-kind card design.
Project Recipe
PREPARE BASE
To create the card, start by scoring a basic white thick cardstock on the long end at 4-1/4 and 5-1/2. On the left half of the base, score a diagonal line from the left corner down to the bottom, connecting with the first score line. Apply a generous amount of glue between the 4-1/4 and 5-1/2 score lines, and then fold the card in half, allowing the glue to set.
STAMP & FUSSY CUT CLOUD
To create the main card layer, use the Fields In Bloom stamp set to stamp on a 4 x 4 piece of Basic White cardstock. Begin by stamping the flower base with Mossy Meadow ink. Moody Mauve was used to stamp the flowers. Finally, stamp clouds on a 2 x 4-1/4 piece of Basic White Thick scrap, and without re-inking, stamp clouds on the main card layer, fussy cut large cloud. Stamp sentiment on a small piece of Basic White.
ADHERE LAYERS TOGETHER
Adhere the stamped main card front to the Early Espresso layer. Add fussy-cut cloud(s). Attach the Designer Series Paper strip to the side of the card. Apply glue to the bottom half of the folded diagonal. Center and attach the stamped layer to the front of the card base.
ASSEMBLE INSIDE OF CARD
Adhere the Designer Series Paper to the inside of the card. Die-cut and assemble the "Feel Better Soon" greeting along with the postage stamp Early Espresso layer. Adhere the sentiment to the bottom right of the inside of the card to prop up the front of the card.
