Tutorial Thursday - Triple Easel Card

Hello La La Land Crafters! Arlene here for this week's Tutorial Thursday. I'm so excited to be your host this week! ♥

Recently I've been experimenting with alternative designs for cards, and I stumbled upon this design on Split Coast Stampers, so I thought I'd give it a whirl. This design has been around sometime now, but it was so super fun to make, that I thought I'd share the steps with you on a video tutorial. 

First let me share some photos of the Triple Easel Card with you...

The base of the card is created using the Stitched Nested Circles (Set of 7) die.

I love the "stepped" look and all the layers... and those who know me know I LOVE layers!! ♥

The Heart Fan Die is so versatile. I adhered it down on the larger circle so it's "peeking" from behind. I love how it adds a dainty touch to the card.

I created some rosettes using the Rolled Rose Small and Medium die, and layered on some leaves using the Open Leaf Flourish die.

The Butterflies Set 1 die is one of my all time favorites. I added pearls to the antennae of the pink butterfly and pulled the wings up to bring it to life. ♥

Without further adieu, here is my video tutorial showing you how to make one of these Triple Easel Cards for a loved one!  If you do create a Triple Easel Card, please share it with us on the La La Land Crafts Facebook Page. We'd LOVE to see it!

For more designs by the design team, please visit our Pinterest Board.

Thank you so much for joining me for today's Tutorial Thursday. 

Enjoy your day! ♥

xoxo,

Arlene

DIECUTTING WITH A DIFFERENCE

It's Tracey here today bringing you this week's TUTORIAL.

DIECUTTING WITH A DIFFERENCE

I often use different materials other than paper or card stock with my dies, and I especially love using felt to make grass and rolled flowers.

I have chosen an assortment of materials to cut today, including canvas, glitter card stock, adhesive wood veneer, felt, vellum and aluminium can.

I have arranged them on the base plate of my cutting machine, ready for cutting. I always position them near the side edges, as I find that this is where there is the most pressure.

 Double sided tape helps keep the die aligned with the aluminium as it was a little slippery.

My lovely hand model is running the dies through the die cutting machine. Notice the extra layer of card stock shim on top of the cutting sandwich. This helps to ensure all materials are cut completely through. Some brands of felt cut better than others.

Here you have a variety of embellishments ready to create a card. They can be used with a coloured Marci or Luka image, or even alone on a card.

For the rolled felt roses, they are rolled just as you would with paper, but it is actually much easier as the felt grips onto itself and the rose doesn't tend to spring open.

Continue rolling until the whole rose has been formed.

Use a liquid adhesive on the base of the rose.

Make your roses into a quick and easy Christmas card, along with some other die cut felt, card stock, glittercardstock and a sentiment stamp.

I hope you have enjoyed my tutorial.

Happy crafting.

Hugs,

Tracey XO
