Thought i would just share with you a tutorial for the new 3 sided easel card, i see this demo an instantly fell in love with it, been itching to have a go.
The first one i made i could not post as it was for a DT project, so just the excuse i needed to make another one..lol..
Here Goes..     THIS IS A LONG POST!!!!

YOU WILL NEED!!

2 sheets of card,
Tool for scoring,
Ruler,
Scissors,
Pencil,
Bone Folder,
Decorative papers,
Images,
Embellishments.

STEP 1.
Take an A4 piece of card, fold an score lengthways at 4 inches.

STEP 2.
Once folded in half you will have a few mm spare along the edge, just cut the litte strip off.

STEP 3.
Measure from edge 4 inches,  now on the opposite edge do the same 4 inches again.
You will have a slightly smaller square in the middle, with a 4 inch square either side.

STEP 4.
Cut along the 4 inch lines you just measured, only upto the middle fold.
It should look like this.

STEP 5.
The centre square fold ni half, an score like this.

STEP 6.
The 2, 4 inch squares fold up to the centre fold,to create a triangle, then that is it the base for your card is done.
Should look like this..

STEP 7
You now need to make 2, 4 inch squares from card an 1 square for the centre, these are for you to matt an layer, decorate an add your image.

STEP 8.
Go ahead an add papers, ribbons or what you wish to use.

STEP 9.
Only put tape on to the top corners of the 4 inch squares an front facing part of the smaller middle square, like this.

STEP 10.
These are the decorated squares that you need to attach to the base..

STEP 11. 
Completed card will look like this.

You will need to tease the card a little to get it to stand forward, i found laying them all down flat an re scoring along the centre fold, will help them stand, add a little embellishment just in front of all 3 squares, like all easel cards you need them there to stand..

Hope you enjoyed my tutorial.

Twisted Easel Card

Flower Tutorial 1

Craft items you will need

·       Tim Holtz Tattered flowers Bigz die from Sizzix
·       Embossing mat or something spongy ( I used a sponge mat that is used for stamps)
·       A big ball embossing tool and something that has a round end (I use the end of a large glue pen)
·       Distressing Ink
·       Small stamps
·       Copics, pencils etc
·       Glitter or Stickles
·       Light weight card
·       Memento ink
·       A wet glue (I use Glossy accents or a glue gun)

Step 1 

Cut out 4 medium flowers and 4 small flowers (you can use any flower puncher you have just as long as it has 6 petals or more).

You can add as many flowers as you like.  I just like to use no more than nine.

Step 2 

Stamp your chosen image on the front and back of all the flowers (if you use copics you need to use Memento Ink).

Using  your distressing inks, ink up the front and back and colour with your chosen medium.

Step 3

Cut into the flower but only slightly just so the petals have a


 slight give.

Step 4

Start with your large embossing tool and gently move in circles starting at the edge of the petals, working towards the centre.    The effects you want to get are the petals starting to curl inwards. 

Now using the large round end of a pen or something similar, work in circles in the centre to make the petals lift even more.  

Step 5

Emboss each flower until they look like this

Step 6

Now comes the fun part,

to assemble start with the one of the large flowers and dab a small amount of glue in the centre and stack the  large flowers on top of each other alternating the petals.   

Step 7

Next assemble the small flowers together so you end up with two bundles of flowers.  

Step 8

Use a dab of glue on the bottom of the small bunch of flowers and stick inside the larger bunch.

Step 9

This is what you should end up with. Add glitter or stickles if you like and your done.
