Vintage Vogue Easel Card

I really wasn't joking when I said that I got in a shabby mood yesterday! Here is the other card that I made with the same stamps - Very Vintage wheel and Vintage Vogue set. Love love love them!!!!

These easel cards area little addictive, and so very easy. Hmmm - the photo doesn't show it very well, but the card front is 'sitting up' like an easel. It folds flat so that you can still post it,but it is hinged so that it will display itself. Very cool!

I used the FREE scallop edge punch (you still have time to place a $50 order and get this one FREE!) on the inside of the card to hold the front in place. So - that bottom scallop edge is actually on the inside of the card!

Another cool-i-oh idea on this card is the flowers. Notice them didja???? I stole the idea form the very talented Julie Buhler, and adapted the colors for this card. They are made by punching out stamped tissue paper with the 5 petal flower punch and then layering them on another green flower for the petals. Pretty, aren't they? I just sponged some of the Lavender Lace over the top to make them match a bit better. The centers are some of the rhinestone brads, they just add enough bling to this card to make it pop!

I love this card - I think we might make it on the next Fabulous Friday night session!

Onto the deets!!!!

It's a very easy card to duplicate! Did you run to order the vintage stamps yet? Vintage Vogue is item #118598(clear mounted), #117690 (wood mounted) $17.95, and $23.95. Very Vintage wheel is #117693 $8.50. What a bargain - and if you throw in some papers and a older for the wheel and some inks - you have a nice little $50 order which will earn you the punch FREE!!! And trust me, you NEED this punch (as well as the stamps!!!)

Enjoy your day people, now go and get creative!!!
