United As One-Easel Card





Hola Everyone!  Pocono Pam here. I have created another card using the newly released United As One stamp set-a partnership collection with Hero Arts, Dana Joy and myself.


Today I am sharing an open book easel card. I started with a black A2 card base and folded one side in half. Below please find the measurements for the additional pieces to complete the card.




I adhered patterned paper to the base.  I then folded the large and small page mats and pages in half. The large and small page mats are card stock while the pages are patterned paper.  I stamped the sentiments on the right side of the small page.  It would have been difficult to stamp after the card was assembled. I then curled the ends of the large and small mats and pages with a pencil. 





I turned both the large and small pieces face down. Setting the large mat aside, I placed double-sided tape down the center of the small mat and page. I place smaller pieces of double sided tape on the opposite sides.

For the large page mat, starting about a 1/4 inch down from the top, I placed double-sided tape long enough to cover 1/2 of the spine. Small pieces of double sided tape are on the opposite sides.  




I then assembled the book. Removing the backing off of the tape, I adhered the small page spine to the center of the small page mat. I then slightly pushed back one side of the page and adhered it to the mat doing the same on the opposite side. 

I repeated the process by adding the large page to the large mat. Next, I adhere the small page assembly to the center of the large page assembly. Removing the backing from the large mat, I adhered it to the folded side of the base. I assembled the stopper strip and adhered it to the flat side of the base and embellished. 



Don't leave just yet! Today I am joined by 3 talented guest designers whom I admire and adore. They will be sharing their work as well. Please stop and visit my friends.....


Amador, Lameka and Scherolyn have all been a source of inspiration during my crafty journey. I am honored to have them as my guests today. 

Thanks for taking a peek!

  3. Pam, this card is gorgeous! I wish I'd thought of it -- my son and DIL had a book theme for their wedding -- place cards were library book check out cards (remember those?); centerpieces were piles of books -- how cute would this have been something on the tables? Still waiting for my stamp set -- patiently of course given the state of things.... :) xoxo.
