Big day easel 2

CASEd from Nancy Lewis.

I saw this fun fold card while I was at Leadership and I knew it had to be part of my Fun Folds class!  I love that the recipient has a sweet birthday keepsake to set on their desk or bookshelf!  It's a fun design for any type of card! 

Big day easel 

Best of all, the easel part folds down flat to a traditional 5-1/2" x 4-1/4" card that can be mailed in an A2 Medium envelope!  Sweet!

Big day easel 8Fun Fold Foundation—I started with a half sheet of Calypso Coral card stock.  Then, with just a few simple steps created the easel card base.

  • Score at the 4-1/4" mark along the 8-1/2" side.
  • Along the 5-1/2" side, cut at the 1-1/4" mark to the center score line.
  • Along the 5-1/2" side, cut at the 4-1/4" mark to the center score line.
  • On the 3" wide center panel, add a score line at the 2-1/8" mark along the 4-1/4" side.  You can see this horizontal line near my thumb in the photo to the right.
  • Add a 5-1/4" x 4" Whisper White card stock layer on the inside of the card to create an area to write your message.
  • Adhere the two outer panels closed, so that only the center panel of the card front opens.
  • Decorate!

Background Basics—I decorated the three panels with Sale-A-Bration Best Year Ever Designer Series Paper.  The two outer panels measures 1" x 4" and the center panel is 2-3/4" x 4".  Remember you can select this paper pack for FREE when you place a $50 order during Sale-A-Bration!

Big day easel 6 

Easel Medallion—I started with a starburst shape created with the Starburst Framelits and Coastal Cabana card stock.  Next, I die-cut a Whisper White circle with the Circles Collection Framelits to layer inside. 

Celebrate Cake—I stamped the cake image from the Sale-A-Bration Big Day stamp set with Soft Suede ink onto the circle, and added a candle on top.  The images are colored with Crushed Curry, Sahara Sand, Coastal Cabana and Calypso Coral Stampin' Write Markers.  I added some Dazzling Diamonds glitter to the icing and candle flame with a 2-Way Glue Pen for a little sparkly goodness!

Big day easel 7

Finishing Touches—I stamped another image from the Big Day set in Soft Suede ink onto Crushed Curry card stock, then cut out only the "celebrate" banner from it with my super-sharp Paper Snips and adhered it to the medallion.  Love that festive detail! 

Adhere the bottom half of the medallion only to the bottom folded section of that center panel with Dimensionals.

I added some Coastal Cabana Sale-A-Bration Best Year Ever ribbon around the bottom of the panel, tied it in a double-knot and trimmed it to make a faux bow.

Big day easel 4

Easel Stop—It's essential to add an element to your easel card that will hold the folded easel panel into place when on display.   My "stop" is a simple 3" x 1/2" strip of Crushed Curry card stock that's raised with Dimensionals. 

Sweet Sentiment—I had just enough room underneath the "stop" for the Big Day birthday sentiment.  It's stamped in Soft Suede, colored in with Calypso Coral and sparkled up with more Dazzling Diamonds.  I added some little candle images on either side.  They were colored with Coastal Cabana and Crushed Curry markers on the stamp before stamping.
