Elizabeth Craft Designs' July Design Team Challenge - Stand Up Helpers

The Elizabeth Craft Designs' Design Team was challenged to make a card using any of their Stand Up Helpers.  I decided to use the newly released  Stand Up Helpers Set 2 for my card along with Peel-Off stickers for my main image.

Place the Peel-Off sticker on white card stock that has Double Sided Adhesive on it, cover with Warm Diamond Silk Microfine Glitter then color with markers.  Coloring on glitter is really fun!  Here's a video from Els showing how to color on Silk Microfine Glitter.  From green card stock, cut 2 Stand Up Helpers and 1 Thinking of You Stand Up Helper and cut them away from excess card stock as shown.

To use the negative image of the Peel-Off Sticker you will need a Transfer Sheet - you can  just barely see it in the photo - burnish the pieces to the Transfer Sheet and then stick the pieces to your project.  I use a bone folder to help stick the pieces to the Transfer Sheet and to stick the pieces down on my project.  Here's a video from Els, showing how to use Transfer Sheets.

Here you can see that I have the whole image on the Transfer Sheet and ready to put on my project.  When transferring, slowly lift up the Transfer Sheet to make sure all the pieces are sticking to your project, if they aren't, then burnish again with a bone folder.

Viola, now I have all the pieces on my project.  Place Gold Border Lines around the edges, use Dimensionals to adhere the leaf.  Cover the Stand Up Helpers on base card with the green Helpers that you had cut.  Finish the card by adhering the rest of the items to your card.

I hope you have enjoyed this tutorial and feel inspired to try the Stand Up Helpers for fun & easy easel cards.

Happy Stamping,
Raquel

Elizabeth Craft Designs and Pop It Ups Characters

These are some of the samples I showed at the recent Pop It Ups and Elizabeth Craft Designs demo.  These cards are quick and simple to create.

I copied the Character tag idea from Kelly Booth, adorable aren't they?

Kind Koala Circle Card

What a cutie the new Kind Koala single stamp is!  The base of this card is made using Stampin' Up!'s Circle Card.  I stamped the koala, colored him with Stampin' Write Markers, cut him out & adhered him to the scallop circle included in the Circle Card die set.  I selectively inked the sentiment using Stampin' Write Markers - the sentiment and image is all on one stamp.

Circle Spiral Pull Conversion

I've used one of Karen Burniston's new Pop It Ups called Circle Spiral Pull Card to create this easel card...........yes I said easel.  The die cuts the little tuck slots that I have used just like Elizabeth Craft Designs' Stand Up Helper.  Before I show you that, lets talk a little about what I used on the front. The circle included in the Circle Spiral Pull card was used with the stitch die from Ring Accordion - I love how the dies coordinate but do not overlap in sizes.  The scallop circle is from the Ring Accordion, the beautiful flower resembling a sand dollar is from Flower Set 1 and the beautiful flourish is from Agatha Edges.

Stand up this easel card same as you would with any other easel card by placing the edge of the card into the tuck slots.  The finished size of this card is 5.5 square.  The sentiment was stamped onto companion dies from Lorna Label.  The cute boy was colored with Spectrum Noir markers and I have entered this into their July Summer challenge.  See the pail & spade?  Those die cuts are from Elizabeth Craft Designs' new set called Wheelbarrow.

Hexagon Hive & Honeycomb Hello

I am loving the new Hexagon Hive die, it's large enough to cover the whole front of a card.  I've stamped some of the hexagons using the coordinating stamp set called Honeycomb Hello.  Such a clean and simple card put together in no time at all!
