Hello everyone! Hope your spring is going well. It's still kind of cold and
rainy where I live...😞. Today I'm sharing a project made with products from
I made an easel card today to show off Honeypie and her kitty. It's not difficult
to make, so let me show you how I made my card!
I first composed and printed out my images onto white card stock.
Everything was separate. I didn't do any layering. I die cut my plaid
paper with a scalloped rectangle die. I made a white A2 size top folding
card base and scored the front of it in half. I cut my die cut plaid panel in half
and adhered one on either side of the fold on the front.
I also cut out my sentiment and backed it with a piece of the left over
plaid. Next it was time to color my focal - Honeypie and her kitty!
Coloring is probably my most favorite part of card making! And I
aways start with the face first.
The hair came next. Often times I'll Google image "hair Copic
markers" for inspiration like I did here. That gives me a
jumping off point for the hair coloring. And usually there is
a list of markers that were used.
I wanted to keep her clothing and hair scrunchies the same colors
as the plaid paper. To give a little more interest to the scrunchies I
made a pattern with my markers.
I didn't go too wild with the coloring and it worked up quickly. After
that, I fussy cut the image.
I printed out another sentiment and die cut it for the front of the
card. To put this together I adhered the longer unmatted sentiment
to the front of the card with foam tape. I die cut a small lavender
bow and adhered it above that sentiment. I adhered Honeypie to just the
front of my card, so that when it was popped up, you would see
her whole image. I adhered the other sentiment that I had backed
with the plaid paper, inside the card with foam tape to act as a
stopper when the card was put upright. I added a bit of shimmer with
a silver sparkle pen and added a few dots with a white gel pen. Then I
sprinkled a few tiny gems around Honeypie and one right in the
middle of the flower in her mug. And that finished my card!
I hope you enjoyed today's tutorial. So easy to make such a cute reminder
