Stampin’ Up! Friends For Life — Thinking Of You — Easel Card
The card I am sharing with you today is created using Stampin’ Up! Friends For Life Stamp Set for the greeting and sentiment. Sweet Days of Autumn Designer Series Paper does most of the work as you can see from the card. I cut strips of several of the different patterns then cut in little pieces.
Challenges:
Creative Creases Challenge — Always A Fun Fold
Pammie’s Inky Pinkies Challenge
Card Cuts For This Card
- Basic Black cardstock
- card base — 4-1/4″ x 11″ scored at 2-3/4″ and 5-1/2″

- card back — 2-1/4″ x 3-3/4″
- Gold Foil Sheet
- mat card front — 4″ x 5-1/4″

- mat card front and inside —3-3/4″ x 5″
- card back — 2-1/2″ x 4″
- Basic White cardstock
- card front and inside panel — 3-3/4″ x 5″
Fold and burnish the card base at the score line, this will form the easel.
Another blog that has an easel card and another one. The Cajun Craze mat and the Gold Foil mat will be adhered later.
To create the front panel and inside panel take a piece of Basic White cardstock for both, putting a piece of adhesive sheet the same size on the Basic White pieces. Take the Sweet Days Of Autumn Designer Series Paper that has been cut into little pieces and place on the Basic White cardstock piece that has the adhesive sheet on it. Leave a border around the pieces, you can see in the photo above how this is done.
Once you have enough of the little pieces on the card, sprinkle black embossing powder on the exposed parts of the adhesive sheet. Set with a heat tool. You can see from the photo how it looks. I did not put the greeting on the card front because I did not want to cover the beauty of this card.
Adhere one of the Cajun Craze pieces to the Gold Foil piece using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. Adhere one of the mosaic pieces over the Cajun Craze. Adhere to the card front at the fold. Look at one of the photos above to see placement. Adhere the other mosaic piece to the Cajun Craze piece and adhere to the inside of the card.
On a piece of Basic Black cardstock stamp a greeting from Stampin’ Up! Friends For Life Stamp Set in Versa Mark, sprinkle with Gold Embossing Powder and heat set. This greeting becomes the stop for the easel. You can see the placement of the greeting from the photo above.
This is how the inside of the card looks. The sentiment at the top of the panel is from Stampin’ Up! Friends For Life Stamp Set. The sentiment is stamped in Versa Mark ink on a piece of Basic Black cardstock that is later trimmed to fit the space it is in, sprinkle Gold Embossing Powder and heat set.
This is the back of the card. I die cut the heart from Friends For Life Dies, adhered to a piece of Basic White cardstock, colored the leaves in the heart with Cajun Craze, Pumpkin Pie, Wild Wheat, and Granny Apple Green Stampin’ Blends. I adhered the heart on the black mat on the back of the card using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. The sentiment is one from long retired Stampin’ Up! Gone Fishing Stamp Set. I could not find a current stamp set with this sentiment.
A Basic White envelope get a panel of Cajun Craze cardstock embossed using Exposed Brick Embossing Folder adhered to the envelope flap using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

Debbie, thank you so much for your comment. I appreciate it so much.
Wow – this is SO cool – I just love that mosaic look! Did I already say “WOW”!?
Mary, thank you so much for your always encouraging words. I appreciate them so much.
Wow! Your card is stunning with that technique. It gives a stained glass effect. I love it. Thanks for joining us this week at Pammie’s Inky Pinkies. Hope to see you again.
Thank you so much Bonnie for your comment. I appreciate it so much.
Shirley, this is such a fun technique. I made a couple of panels a few weeks ago, but haven’t put the card together yet. You do such a great job with easel cards. They are my least favorite to make but I don’t know why. I particularly liked the heart on the back. Thank you for supporting CCC by entering this beauty.
Hugs,
