Today’s Project I am sharing with you is a Diagonal Easel Card using the Fond of Autumn Bundle along with the beautiful Rustic Harvest Designer Paper.  I was inspired by this layout by fellow demonstrator Connie Stewart.

I am a huge fun fold fan and I love the way the corner pops up to give it a cute way to display your project.

One thing that I love about The Fond of Autumn Bundle is that when you die cut the floral pieces it cuts them into little individual pieces so you can use as little or as many pieces as you want. The colors that I used to color with are Mossy Meadow, Old Olive, and Granny Apply Green for the leaves.   Calypso Coral and Daffodil Delight For the Flowers, Cajun Craze for the Berries and Neutral Tones Blends in Medium and Medium Light for the Acorns. I finished off by stamping a little acorn on the inside corner for a cute little decorative touch.

 

INSTRUCTIONS:
  • Cardbase 4 1/4″ x 11 scored at 5 1/2″ or folded in half
  • Cut a strip piece off the edge at 1 1/4″ (You will use this piece for the inside of your card to hold pop up easel piece)
  • You will score the top right corner edge at a diagonal down to the original 5 1/2″ score line to create your pop-up easel piece
  • 4 x 4 DSP then cut at an angle from corner to corner to get 2 triangle pieces
  • For inside strip pieces, you will cut 2 pieces at  1″ x 4 1/8″
  • At 1 strip to the 1 1/4″ piece of cardstock you removed earlier and you will pop that piece up with stampin dimensional to create that edge piece.
  • Inside Basic White piece will be 3″ x 4 3/8″
  • Final Tip when adhering the image to front panel be sure not to adhere to top part of the image as this will not allow your card to pop up at the angle it needs to.

My Favorite Craft Fair Items

It’s Craft Fair Season and today I am going to share with you my favorite craft fair items.  In the video below I show you all of my favorite craft fair items, but in this post, I will be showing the sizes and dimensions of 3 of the projects.

PROJECT 1 Pencil Packet

These are always super popular at my craft fairs.  Especially for stocking stuffers.  I get my pencils from our local Dollar Tree.  You get 12 per packet and that will give you 3 packets.  As I put 4 in each packet you can certainly put let depending on the size of the opening you cut out.

DIMENSIONS:

  • Balmy Blue Cardstock 2″ x 11″
  • Score at 6 1/2″ 6 7/8″
  • DSP of your Choice (Storybook Gnomes shown Here) 1 3/4″ x 3 7/8″ and 1 3/4″ x 6″
  • Circle from Layering Circle Dies (2 1/4″ size)
  • Sentiment from Santa’s Delivery, Gnomes cut out from the DSP

PROJECT 2: Easel Desk Calendar

Another Popular Item for Co-Workers, Teachers, or even your child’s desk.  I order the mini calendars from Taylored Express.  You get a packet of 10 for $4.00.  Very reasonable!!!

  • Scored at 5 1/2″ and 8 1/4″
  • Pool Party Panel Piece 4 1/4″ x 5 1/2″

PROJECT 3: Nail File Wrap

This is a newer item to my craft fair table, so I am excited to see how well this will do.  These come together very quickly and just take 1 sheet of 6 x 6 DSP.  It is perfect to use up those 6×6 packets.  I ordered the nail files from Amazon.

DIMENSIONS:

  • 6×6 DSP of your choice
  • Score at 1  1/2″ , 3″. and 4 1/2″

Cute Fall Gnome Card

We are creating this cute Fall Gnome card in today’s project using parts of the Rustic Harvest Suite.

I am absolutely obsessed with the Kindest Gnomes and Fall.  So I could not help but combine them together.  This layout really showcases this beautiful Rustic Harvest Designer Paper. 

To color my little gnome, I used my Stampom’ Blends that coordinated with the colors in this Designer paper.  I love these color combos together.  So rich!!  For his Hat I wanted it to look a little worn so I used the Color lifter to do that.

PROJECT DIMENSIONS:
  • Cajun Craze Cardbase 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″ scored at 4 1/4″ or folded in half
  • Basic Black Layer 4″ x 5 1/4″
  • Top Panel (Yellow) 1 7/8″ x 5 1/8″
  • Bottom Left Panel (Mossy Meadow) 2″ x 3 1/8″
  • Bottom Right Panel (Pumpkin) 2″ x 2″
  • Stylish Circle in Vellum Largest Circle
