Vintage Easel Card – MyPaperPassion DT Project
104KHey everyone! Today I am so excited to share with you my latest project featuring a vintage easel card. This project was inspired by the beautiful designs and techniques showcased by MyPaperPassion in one of their DT projects. I absolutely fell in love with the vintage aesthetic and knew I had to give it a try.
For this project, I decided to use a combination of vintage patterned paper, lace, and floral embellishments to create a beautiful and elegant easel card. Easel cards are great for showcasing your designs in a unique way, and I knew the vintage style would work perfectly for this type of card.
First, I started by gathering all of the materials I would need for this project. I made sure to choose patterned paper with a vintage floral motif, as well as some coordinating cardstock in complementary colors. I also picked out some lace trim, silk flowers, and vintage buttons to add some extra embellishments to the card.
Next, I began by cutting and scoring my card base. I used a standard size piece of cardstock and folded it in half to create the base of the card. Then, I scored the front panel in half again, creating the easel portion of the card. This allows the front panel to stand up on its own when the card is displayed.
Once I had my card base ready, I started layering on the patterned paper. I cut pieces of the vintage floral paper to fit the front panel of the card and adhered them using double-sided tape. I also added some lace trim along the edges of the paper to add a delicate touch to the design.
Next, I started adding the embellishments. I used a combination of silk flowers and vintage buttons to create a cluster of embellishments in the bottom corner of the card. I layered the flowers and buttons together, using foam adhesive to add dimension to the design.
After adding the embellishments, I decided to add a sentiment to the card. I chose a vintage-inspired sentiment stamp and heat embossed it in gold onto a piece of vellum. I then adhered the vellum sentiment to the card using small dots of liquid adhesive, making sure to hide the adhesive behind the sentiment so it wouldn’t show through the vellum.
Finally, I added some final touches to the card. I used a gold gel pen to add some faux stitching around the edges of the card, and I also added some gold glitter to the centers of the silk flowers for a bit of extra sparkle. I was so happy with how the card turned out, and I couldn’t wait to display it in my craft room.
I hope you enjoyed seeing my vintage easel card project inspired by MyPaperPassion. I had so much fun creating this card and playing around with vintage elements and techniques. If you’re looking to try something new in your cardmaking, I highly recommend giving a vintage easel card a try. It’s a fun and unique way to showcase your designs and add a touch of elegance to your projects.
Thanks for watching, and happy crafting!
