Recently ran a workshop to demonstrate how to make an Easel Card. We also used Pixie Powders on coloured card for a 'Cheat Pixie' method! I promised I'd share a tutorial. Well here it is.
Use the 8th (counting
from largest to smallest) Stitched Octagon to make the base. This is just
slightly lager than the largest plain octagon we will be using from the Lavish
Adorned Octagon set.
1) Cut a strip of white card stock twice the length of your shape.
2) Fold the card in half (doesn’t
need to be exact). Place the base shape over the edge and cut. It should look
like this:
You should end up with this:
3) Place the shape on your score
board. Make sure the side with the neat stitching, facing up, is off to your
right. This Octagon is about 5” white, so to score half way, I scored at 2.5”.
Again, this does not need to be an exact measurement.
4) Fold as below. Make sure the
base is the ‘neat’ stitching.
5) Cut another Hexagon using the
die you used for the base. Attach adhesive to the lower section of the folded
side.
6) Attach a complete Octagon onto
the base. The easel is now complete. Decorate as you wish.
To make the Butterfly Easel Card,
cut the following:
And here are some pictures from the workshop itself.
