Diamond Easels

Diamond easel cards for club projects 

 

Tonic teapot

Tonic dies and basically copied the idea from the packaging!

 

Floral

Stamps by Sam Poole, and dies by Sue Wilson

Inspired by a card I spotted on Pinterest but unfortunately it had no name and was a dead-end. I will credit the designer if I can ever find her/ him.

 

Tiled

The card I shared yesterday was inspired by an idea by Kim Hodgson of The Stables Card Emporium.

This card is using the same technique but closer to Kim's original. I've used a Woodware stamp here and the same Sue Wilson Tiled Background die. At some point after I'd snapped this photo I added a stamped sentiment.

 

 

Margaret

This is a card I made recently for Margaret's birthday. I knew it needed to be vintage/ shabby and thought this Woodware stamp fitted the bill.

The tiled die set is by Sue Wilson. The idea to raise one of the die-cuts on foam pads is from a card by Kim Hodgson of The Stables Card Emporium. Kim makes beautiful cards and the tiled dies (and lots of other goodies) are available to purchase from The Stables. I thought Kim's idea was simple and yet very effective and she kindly gave me permission to copy it.

I coloured the stamped image with alcohol markers, edged the cardstock with distress inks, and then splattered some purple ink across.

 

Mum

This was the card I made for my mum for Mother's Day this year. I then decided to use it as a project for club.

Dies are by TEXT[ures] at Craft Stash, alpha dies are Sizzix, and finished card is 8 x 8 inches.
