Here is a quick tutorial for making 4 and 1/2" square easel cards that I have been sharing this week. Start by cutting and folding your paper.
Here is the completed card. I added a punched strip of paper along the front edge, as well as a layered sticker sentiment from K and Company.
My crafty friend Heather designs collages using Gimp and posts her wonderful creations on her blog. She made a darling retro Valentine collage - go check it out! She graciously sent me the collage and I immediately put white cardstock in my printer, printed the collage sheet and got to work making...you guessed it, another easel card!
The red clock face is misted with Perfect Pearls and so are the white areas. Those teacups are darling!
I punched. I glittered. I had fun!
Heather's charming collage is available through her Etsy shop and makes several tags, but the images are versatile so I used the set to make a card. :)
