~ now for the tutorial you have been waiting for ~ 

my 3D Double Easel Card with a shaker clock.

Side look.

A the yummy products used.

First of all I Cut and Scored the card base.

I then cut the layers for the card base and easel.

I then layered them up using 3D tape on the brown and aqua layers.  I then just taped the rest.

I then cut and scored the small easel card base and easel.

Next I cut all the small layering pieces.

I then layered and taped them together.

I then taped the easels to there bases as in the picture.  Next I 3D taped the small easel card on to the big card about 1 inch in.

Time to create the shaker clock so I cut out these pieces from the list above.

I also cut a red clock out as well and used just the numbers.

I used the white clock and  I popped out the numbers and the holes all the way around. I then glued acetate to the back I glued the red numbers in the holes and used the brown hands.

I added a copic coloured pearl to the centre to match Marci's dress. Next I used 3D tape around the back of the clock and popped little crystals in it and the poinsettia aqua circle  on the back to create the shaker. I then layered it on the aqua stitched circle and brown scalloped circle.

I then created a poinsettia using the 2 diecuts. I inked around them in aqua ink and curled the petals using my bone folder. In the center I popped 6 white pearls and 1 red one that fitted on the die cut perfectly. I 3D taped then together in the center.

I then diecut the pinecones and used brown ink around them. I also diecut the pine needles

to embellish the card. I coloured Marci up and she looked Gorgeous in the vintage look colours.

I attached Marci to the small easel card and then embellished the card with all the pieces we diecut.

I finished it off by stamping a Happy Christmas sentiment on the Suitcase Side Layer Die and 3D' it so the small easel could rest against it.

We hope that you are inspired to try out your own creation with the amazing stamps and dies from La-La Land Crafts!

~ now for the tutorial you have been waiting for ~ 

This is a sketch you can use as an overview

Score on the long side at 2" / 4" / 6" / 8"

Turn paper and score on the short side at 2 1/2" and 5"

Score a diagonal line as shown above

Score another diagonal line as shown

Score a straight line from the top of your cardstock to the point where the other 2 scored lines you did before cross

Cut the cardstock at the bottom and cut off the marked paper as shown in the pic

It should look like this

Fold all straight scored lines

Fold all diagonal scored lines

Fold the straight line above the 2 diagonal folds, it should look like a roof with an antenna

Do all the steps for the remaining 8 1/4" x 5 3/4" piece of cardstock again 

You´ll have 2 identical pieces of folded cardstock now

 

 

Glue the flaps of one piece of cardstock and stick it to the second piece of cardstock

After that it looks like this

Now it is time to add the design paper

Cut 8 pieces in 2 1/4 " x 1 3/4" and glue them to your box

 

 

 

Cut again 8 pieces in 2 1/4" x 1 3/4" from your Design Paper

  

 

Draw diagonal lines on the back of the paper pieces as shown in the pic 

 

Cut the paper

You'll get 4 pieces out of 1 

 

 

 You need 8 small triangles and 16 larger triangles 

Glue them to the box

Put glue to the remaining flap of your box and close it by putting one side above the other side

Your box will look like that

Top of the box

Bottom of your box

You need to punch holes in the top flaps of your box so you can pull some ribbon to close it through

Punch a hole in the middle of your flap as shown in the pic

I use my Crop - a - dile to punch all holes 

 

Now it is time to add a bottom (inside/outside) to your box.
Diecut 2 circles. 

Glue one to the bottom (outside) of your box

And the second to the bottom of the inside of your box

Pull ribbon of your choice through the punched holes, tighten the ribbon and close your box 

This is the tag I added to my box

 If you like add some embellishments or just a ribbon bow for decoration to your box and you`re done!

 

 

I hope you had a lot of fun crafting with my tutorial and I would love to see what you make!
