Quad Easel Card by DT Priyanka Thukral

Hello Everyone


Today I am over at Rainbow Craftykari Blog again with an inspiration post this time. This time I really wanted to try my hands at something new & different and something which I had never created before, thus I picked "QUAD-EASEL CARD" for my inspiration. I remember, when I saw this style of card for the very first time sometime back I got all itchy to try it but just couldnt work on it & with this inspiration post I knew I had to had to try my hands at this quad easel style.

This style gives you alot of flexibility to experiment with themes, combinations etc. I chose to go ahead with the love theme...! For the base, I began with taking a black cardstock in size 11"*11" for the base {ref: Picture(a)} & than cut out 4 strips in size 5"*10" and then folded them into half (scored at 5")  {ref: Picture (b)} I further scored one side of the folded cards diagonally {ref: Picture(c)}. Then I cut out 4 squares in the size 5"*5" {ref: Picture(d)}. I then took patterned papers from papericious & cut them accordingly to attach to the base of my easel card. For the base I cut the patterned paper into 10.5"*10.5" & the remaining 4 patterened papers in 4.8"*4.8". I adhered the patterened papers onto the black cardstocks of the respective sizes & then adhered the 4 cards onto the base {ref: Picture(e)} Our base is now ready to be embellished.

I embellished it flap by flap in a way that each flap coorinates with the other. (tip: it is important to think through how you are going to embellish the flaps because devaiting from the theme can kill the entire look of the card, thus it is very important that all flaps should compliment each other & be in sync) I embellished my flaps using Spellbinders Nestabilities Fleur De Lis Square die, resins, die cuts, flowers, heat embossed sentiment from fiskars stamp set, pearls, rhinestones. I didnt want to go overboard with my embelishments thus I kept them simple & light. Using a double sided foam tape I adhered the small sentiments on the inside of the cards to make an easel panel (with support of these our cards will stand to make an easel structure) our Quad Easel Card is ready!
