Oval Easel Card Tutorial

Hi There!

Shell Carman here. I have had a few requests to show how I made my Oval Easel Card so I have put together a step by step!

1. Take a piece of 12X12 cardstock. I have used Kraft card. Cut in half to 6X12″. Put the spare half aside to use later.
2. Fold the 6X12″ piece in half to make a 6X6″ card base
3 & 4. Turn the card so that the fold is at the top. Place the Oval cutter (or just print a template from the computer & trace around it) so the top is just sitting over over the fold. You can use any size you like but I have used 3.5X4.5″.

5. Cut a complete oval from the other piece you had placed aside
6. Take the double oval piece. Make sure oval is fully folded out flat. Score the top oval half way. Fold forward.
7. Fold back oval & place E-Z Runner® Permanent Strips Refillable Dispenser on bottom half.
8 & 9. Carefully line up the full oval piece with the folded oval. Ink edges with Dark Brown Ink

10 & 11.. Cut an oval slightly smaller than the base of your card (Kaisercraft Curiosity Peculiar). Distress & ink Edges. Adhere oval black side up using E-Z Runner® Permanent Strips Refillable Dispenser
12,13,14. Cut another oval slightly smaller than the base of your card (Kaisercraft Curiosity Peculiar). Distress & Ink Edges. Open card base & place oval on bottom oval. Rule a line to cut off tip of oval. Cut off tip. Adhere oval cream side up using E-Z Runner® Permanent Strips Refillable Dispenser to bottom oval
15. Cut another oval slightly smaller than the base of your card (Kaisercraft Curiosity Eccentric). Distress & Ink edges. Score this oval in half. Place tape on either sides of score mark. Stick to top oval making sure you line up score marks
