Welcome to the Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrators Fun Folds Blog Hop. There’s a lineup below to make it easy for you to hop along.

The basic design of my Fun Folds card is a Double Easel, “plus” I added holes and circles for extra fun!

Double Easel Plus

To begin, I cut Thick Basic White Cardstock, 8 1/2″ X 11″, in half, having two pieces, 4 1/4″ X 11″. I scored one at 5 1/2″, and one at 5 1/2″, with the front fold at 2 3/4″, and glued the two together. Then, I cut Floral Impressions Designer Paper: front-4″ X 2 1/2″, middle-4″ X 5 1/4″, and back-4″ X 5 1/4″. After gluing the designer paper to the card base, I used a Stylish Shapes circle die to cut a hole in the middle section.

Next, I used the largest and second largest Stylish Shapes circle dies to cut Thick Basic White Cardstock. I made six cuts, so I would have three, layered, circles. Then, I prepared the flowers and the greenery. The two flowers were cut from Basic White Cardstock, using Impressions Abloom Dies. After cutting, I stamped the flowers with Pretty In Pink Ink and Fresh Freesia Ink. Before gluing the flowers to the circles, I added color with Small Blending Brushes. The centers were cut with Impressions Abloom Dies from Splendid Autumn Designer Paper, and glued in place. The greenery was cut with a Beautiful Motifs Die from Splendid Autumn Designer Paper, layered on Garden Green Cardstock for thickness, and glued to a circle.

The greenery circle was glued to the card base first. Then, I carefully lined up the front, and back, flower circles, and glued them in place. The white center was replaced on the back circle for a personal message.

The sentiment, “celebrating you” is from the Coneflower Celebrations Stamp Set. I stamped it in Blackberry Bliss Ink on Basic White Cardstock, used a Stylish Shapes Die for cutting, and attached it with Dimensionals. I hope you enjoyed seeing this Double Easel Plus, as much as I enjoyed making it!
