Easy Easels..

I thought that I would get on the bandwagon and make an easel card since they've been quite popular of late. This is what I came up with, which was inspired by fellow demo and friend, Sally.  It was just one of the cards that we made at the Fancy Fold class yesterday and I'm quite pleased with the end result. I love embossing and the white embossing with the solid image from the Upsy Daisy stamp, makes it really pop out.  I've used two rhinestone brads - one to wrap around the bow and the other to hold the filigree designer brad in place because I love sparkles and didn't want to use glitter on this occasion.

Springy Thing..

We had a lovely group of ladies join us yesterday for our second WOW PaperKRafters event in West Harbour. It was a very humid and sticky day but everyone lasted the distance and completed the four projects. I taught the Springy Thing (couldn't come up with a better name for it) and although it looked a bit daunting, everyone finished it within the time frame and did an awesome job. Well done ladies!! I can't remember how I came across the instructions to make it so unfortunately I can't give credit to the designer. I've made quite a few over the years embellishing it for different occasions. Here's a photo of what we made yesterday when it is closed.

And, here's what it looks like when you pull the opposite corners and open it up. It could be used for invitations or an occasion of your choice by changing the embellishments. The bone folder got a work out when making the nice crisp folds.... If you would like the instructions on how to make this, feel free to email ME 

Another weekend is nearly over with.  Have a great week everyone.
