Here's To New Beginnings

Hello crafters!  I have a shaped easel card to share with you today!  I started by cutting the House Front Shaped die out of aqua card.  I cut it again out of slate gray card and nipped away the roof areas and glued them to the aqua die cut.  I added some curtains from the House Accessories set  to the back side of the windows using some decorative papers from my stash.  I also added a wreath and bow to the door, a flowerpot, a dog and cat and the decorative swag which I glittered.  To create the easel part of the card, I cut the backing piece twice out of white card.  I cut one of them as a double card and folded the top part of that card in half.  I attached the single backing piece to the decorated house then glued that to the area below the folded part of the second backing card.  I had to create a "stopper" for the inside of the card to hold the house up when opened so I used the second part of my sentiment for it.  I cut the Here's To New Beginnings in white and glued it to the top of the roof on the outside of the card.  I used the "Couldn't Be More Excited For You" cut three times out of black card.  I glued all three together which gave me a bit of height to hold the edge of the house card when opened.  I added two small topiaries on each side as accents from the House Accessories set.  The finished dimensions on the closed card are 4 1/4"  x  5 3/4" in size.  

Tomorrow morning is the start of the March Die Release Blog Launch.  We will be starting off at the usual 6am UK time for anyone that would like to join in!  Looking forward to seeing you here then!  All for now, Sue x

Hi Sue. I need these dies. It's an absolutely beautiful piece of inspiration I really love the colours you chose for this. I'm trying to get more 'hand friendly' storage for my dies and waiting for another delivery of transparent bags, but I need to check my craft account because I can't have both plus it's launch day tomorrow - oh Sue what are you doing to us lol.
Stay safe stay well and love to all xxx

Hi Sue, I do like this easel card and can see your 'house' die being used for my Christmas cards this year as a focal point with small poinsettias and foliage adorning it. I really must stop thinking about Christmas as we haven't started Springtime yet.

Love this easel card. I have the House Front Shaped die (and the House Accessories set) but it didn't cross my mind to use it for an easel card. Thank you for the inspiration, Sue.

Looking forward to your new launch and wondering what delights you have in store for us.

Hugs from Toronto to you all.
Stay safe and healthy.

I lost my job few months back and there was no way to get income for my family, things was so tough and I couldn't get anything for my children, not until a met a recommendation on a page writing how Mr Bernie Wilfred helped a lady in getting a huge amount of profit every 6 working days on trading with his management on the cryptocurrency Market, to be honest I never believe it but I took the risk to take a loan of $1000. and I contacted him unbelievable and I was so happy I earn $12,500 in 6 working days, the most joy is that I can now take care of my family I don't know how to appreciate your good work Mr. Bernie Doran God will continue to bless you for being a life saver I have no way to appreciate you than to tell people about your good services.
