Bookfold Easel card

 Hello and welcome to the first Pootlers team blog hop of 2023! I am so excited to be taking part for the first time! 

We are hopping to celebrate the launch of the new January- April Mini catalogue. 

I am using the Queen Bee Stamp set. 

I have made a bookfold Easel card using basic black, basic white and basic gray. 

My card base is 11 x 4.5 inch. Time felt this measurements gave the bookfold a better shape. I scored it on the long side at 5.5 and 4.5 inch to create the fold. Then glued down the front of the cardstock between to the two score lines.

The white strip is 4.5 inch by 3/4 of and inch. The mats for the front and inside measure 4 1/4 by 4. 

I have stamped and die cut the Bee and the sentiment. Then used the stamps from the Queen Bee Stamp set to create the background using black and basic gray. Then added added some basic gray with a blending brush to defuse the white. 

I have scored diagonally from the top right to bottom left to create the easel. Then attached the stamped mat by adding glue to only the bottom right corner. 

I popped up the Bee and sentiment with dimensional,using the sentiment as the stopper for the easel. 

I finished it off with some iridescent pearls to give it a bit of shine. 

I hope you enjoyed my project. Please follow the link below to hop around the rest of the lovely Pootlers blogs.
