Seaside View Easel Card

Card Measurements and Supply List for this project are found at the bottom of this blog post.

The Seaside View is a lovely new stamp set in the Stampin’ Up! 2020-2021 Annual Catalog. I enjoyed coloring these gorgeous images with the Stampin’ Blends that are perfect for a summer time card. I have an easel fun fold card to share with you using the Seaside View stamp set and the In Good Taste DSP.

Create your card base – 8 1/2″ x 4 1/4″ scored at 4 1/4″ and 6 3/8″ on your Simply Scored board.

Start with a Pool Party cs card base. Cut a Pool Party cs card front base.

Use your Bone Folder to burnish the score marks in the Pool Party cs card base and fold your card base so it forms a ‘Z’.

Side view of the card base with the attached front card base panel.

Attach the Pool Party cs front card base panel to the card base using Tear & Tape to the 2 1/8” fold on the card base. Be sure you line up the edges of the front card base panel and the top edge of the card base that leaves the bottom half of the front card base panel NOT adhered down.

When you close the card base and front panel it should line up to a 4 1/4″ x 4 1/4″ square.
Your card base should fold flat and line up.

Cut the Whisper White cs front panel layer & the In Good Taste DSP front panel and glue them to the Pool Party cs front card base panel. Cut the Whisper White cs sentiment & image layer panel. Stamp the sentiment from the Seaside View stamp set in Memento Black ink to the center top of the Whisper White cs sentiment & image layer panel.

Stamp the image from the Seaside View stamp set in Memento Black ink on Whisper White cs. Color the image with Stampin’ Blends. Add Wink of Stella to the water for sparkle. Cut down the stamped & colored Whisper White cs (2 1/8″ x 3″). Then glue it to the Whisper White cs stamped sentiment & image layer panel and then glue it to the card front.

Cut your inside Whisper White cs panel and the three In Good Taste DSP strips. Stamp the sentiment and the palm trees from the Seaside View stamp set in Memento Black ink on the Whisper White cs inside panel. Color the palm trees with the Stampin’ Blends. Glue the stamped & color Whisper White cs inside panel to the inside of the card base.

Be sure when gluing down the DSP strips so they are going the same direction as each other and the front DSP panel.

Glue the larger DSP strip first across the bottom of the inside Whisper White cs panel. Then glue one of the smaller DSP strips across the top of the larger DSP strip forming the lip that will create your easel. Add 2020-2022 In Color Enamel Dots to the card front and to the inside DSP strip so it shows when the card is in the easel position.

I also stamped & colored the palm trees from the Seaside View stamp set and added the last DSP strip to the back of the card to pull the theme through.

This is the side view of my finished card.
