This month’s design is called Floating Tent Easel card. I was inspired by Kate Morgan from Australia.

First, I fussy cut several flowers from the Floral Impressions 12″ x 12″ DSP. And because there were no measurements available, I created my own measurements for the card.

I cut Summer Splash card stock at 4-1/4″ x 11″ and scored at 5-1/2″. Then I cut off 4″ from the bottom of the card front. I scored that in 1/2 at 2″ (tent piece). I set this aside.

Then I cut pieces of Summer Splash card stock at 1-1/2″ x 4-1/2″, 1-1/2″ x 5″ and 1-1/2″ x 4-1/4″.

Then I took the DSP and cut two different patterns. They measured (2) 1-3/8″ x 4-1/8″ and (2) 1-7/8″ x 4-1/8″ with the 1st pattern. Using the 2nd pattern, I cut 1-3/8″ x 4-1/8″, 1-3/8″ x 4-7/8″, 1-3/8″ x 2-7/8″. I then centered and adhered them to the coordinating card stock pieces (see photo). There are 2 pieces on the back of the card. One on the back pillar (floral) and one across the top (circle print) on the tent piece.

I centered the 1-1/2″ x 4-1/2″ unit and adhered it to the back of the short card front. Then, I attached it to the inside of the tent piece. I then centered and adhered the 1-1/2″ x 5″ unit to the front of the tent piece. This will make the easel piece. Be sure to measure so that they align with with the bottom section so as not to exceed 5-1/2″.

Next, I adhered the fussy cut flowers. I glued some of them. I used dimensionals for others to create the easel stopper.

Next was the sentiment in coordinating ink. I placed it on the top, short panel. I glued 3 more flowers on the top left of the card base.

Finally, I added embellishments and Wink of Stella.

I hope you really enjoy this fun fold card. I really had fun putting it all together. Please follow the links above.
