My youngest niece, Lu (Lualhati), who I still fondly call Ati, got married to her five-year fiance, Kim Chu last May 15, 2015 in San Francisco, California. What a great wedding date, 05-05-15. Yes, this a very late post! It will be their first wedding anniversary in a few days. As it was the most special event in her life, I wanted to make the most special card for her and Kim. I really struggled to come up with a special design concept and it took a lot of sample cutting before I finally settled with the triple easel card which I found on Pinterest. This is the most labor intensive card that I have created....talk about labor of love :-).I'm still very new with manual die cutting and I instantly got hooked on it when I started more than a year ago. There are gazillions of outrageously beautiful dies in the market which makes it so addictive. This wedding card gave me the chance to make good use of some of the dies in my collection. I used the 3 smallest dies of the Spellbinders Grand Scalloped Circles for the base of the card. I used more than a dozen sets of dies on this card. The triple easel card looks daunting and seem very complicated to make but it was surprisingly easy as I followed the step-by-step instructions on the video. No wonder it became a craze a while back in the card-making community. You'll find a lot of card designs and video tutorials on the triple easel card.
Happy crafting!

ReplyDeleteGayle, your work is always stunning. Since I'm still a follower could you send me the file. I have a wedding to attend to in June, it is for our Assistant Pastor's son and this would be a stunning card to give. Thanks in advance. Shawn.box@bridgeband.com
