The Grand Dies from Spellbinder make constructing an easel card a breeze.  I love making easel cards and  these dies make the process quick and easy.  In this tutorial I will show you the steps involved for making a basic shaped easel card using the Grand Labels Four Die.

Materials Used:

Bazzill Basics Cardstock:

6-642E Heidi

6-605E Velvet

10-1001E White

Spellbinders:

LF-190 Grand labels Four

S4-248 Labels Thirteen

S5-034 Parisian Accents

BLING-abilities:

LCED00030 Parisian Accents

JustRite Stamps:

CL02105 Elegant Frames

Other Materials Used:

Organza Ribbon

Versamark Pad

White Embossing Powder 

Instructions:

Step One:

Cut three pieces using your desired Spellbinder shape and size.  For my card I've used the second smallest die.

Step Two

Find the centre and score along the width of one of the cut pieces.

Score approximately 1cm from the top of the die. 

Step Three:

Flip your cardstock over and apply double sided tape to the folded edge. 

Step Five:

Attach the folded piece to base piece along the top as in the photo. 

Tip:

Apply a strip of cardstock or embellishment across the front of the base so that there is something for the card to rest on and keep it open. I've used a piece cut using one of the shapes from the Parisian Accents Dies.

"With a couple of daughters who love giving little gifts to their friends, I thought I'd put one of these together. Quite simply, it's a Grand Labels Eleven shape, folded up and stitched along the sides to make a pocket. The cute little tag is from the Home Sweet Home set. I have filled mine with some 9 year old girl essentials: lollies, some lip gloss, an eraser and a lollipop. With Easter around the corner, I'll be whipping up some more of these for nephews and nieces - they're a great way to present cinema tickets or gift vouchers. They're so quick and easy to put together, and they're a lot of fun to embellish."

"Pretty in Pink! Here's a multi photo layout with the same little photo repeated. I have framed two of the images - one with a stamp and one with a frame made from two different Nestabilities shapes. I didn't have an alpha that matched, so I drew the letters myself and cut them out by hand. It gives an informal, happy feel to the layout."

"Have you got lots of spellbinders now like me… well this step by step will show you how to get the most out of your dies. With one simple die I have transformed it into many different shapes to make a banner which is all the rage at the moment in the scrapping world."

Step Two:

Using some scissors cut out a triangle from the bottom of one of the rectangles. This gives you a double point banner. 

These different techniques can be seen on the Happy Birthday Card. 

 Try making other shapes with the dies you have you will be surprised how far you can stretch these dies to suit your needs.
