I used two stamp sets in creating the card I am sharing with you today.  I used Stampin’ Up! Irresistible Blooms stamp set and Stampin’ Up! Two-Tone Flora stamp set.  I also used Timeworn Type 3D Embossing Folder and a die from Elegant Border Dies.  I think the mix of the two flowers creates a beautiful card.  Below is the diagram for creating the card base.

I am entering the Alphabet Challenge as their theme for this challenge is to create an easel card.

I am also entering Creative Creases Challenge as they are always a Fun Fold.

I found a diagram on Pinterest showing how to score and cut your card base to create the fun fold gate fold easel card.  I did not see a name, so thank you to the person who posted this so I did not have to draw a diagram.   The diagram explains well how the procedure is done.

My card base is Basic White card stock with mats of Shaded Spruce card stock.  I embossed the panel using Timeworn Type 3D Embossing Folder.  I adhered the mats to the card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.  I die-cut a piece of Basic White card stock using a die from Elegant Border Dies.   I matted the piece on a Shaded Spruce card stock mat.  This mat becomes the easel.

I stamped flowers from Stampin’ Up! Irresistible Blooms stamp set and Stampin’ Up! Two-Tone Floral stamp set. I stamped Real Red ink with Bubble Bath ink,  Highland Heather ink with Fresh Freesia ink,  Mango Melody ink with Lemon Lolly ink, and Bubble Bath ink with Fresh Freesia ink. I stamped Moody Mauve, then stamped Versa Mark over it and sprinkled Clear Embossing Powder over it, and heated it with a heat tool.  I used a Bubble Bath Stampin’ Blends Marker to color the inside of the flower.  The stop for the easel is a flower placed on the middle panel of the card using Stampin’ Dimensionals to pop the flower on the panel.

I cut a 1″ strip of Shaded Spruce card stock to create the belly band,  using my bone folder to break the fibers of the strip of card stock down a bit so it folds easier.  I embossed the strip using the Timeworn Type 3D Embossing Folder.  I stamped a flower from Irresistible Blooms stamp set in Real Red ink and then Versa Mark over it.  I sprinkled Clear Embossing Powder over it and heat embossed using a heat tool. I colored the flower using a Bubble Bath Stampin’ Blends Marker.  The sprig of leaves behind the flower is from Stampin’ Up! Two-Tone Flora stamp set and is stamped in Granny Apple Green ink.

A flower is adhered to each of the inside panels along with the flower arrangement on the section that becomes the easel when the card is opened.  I popped Tinsel Gems around the easel, side panels, and the belly band.

A Basic White envelope gets a flower from Stampin’ Up! Two-Tone Flora stamp stamped to the envelope flap using  Mango Melody and Lemon Lolly ink.
