Every year Close to My Heart has a convention. Not all of us can afford to go, so instead, two of my fellow consultants throw a Faux Convention where the rest of us get together on one of the convention days and scrap all day. We try to mimic the convention with make and takes and a tiny extravaganza section. It's loads of fun, and we keep in touch with our uplines and sidelines who are actually at the CTMH convention so we can get updates!
This year I got asked to make a card for a make and take/ extravaganza. The organizers asked if I could make a triple easel card using one of CTMH's paper packs, Tommy. Here is the result. (The tutorial for the card is from Split Coast Stampers, http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/resources/tutorials/tripleeaselcard)
The base is in cranberry cardstock, using a cut from the Cricut Art Philosophy cartridge (Select Card and use circle #5. Sizes are 4.5", 4" and 3.5"). Then I cut three circle #5 in desert sand cardstock, added some circles from the Tommy patterned paper and embellished.
I also used milepost shapes stars, which have been discontinued, but back when they offered just the stars in bulk I bought a bunch, so I have plenty left. I filled in the corrugations with CTMH's red and bronze glitter glitz, and colored one of the stars with a cranberry marker, then stuck them onto toothpicks with glue dots.
I'm pretty happy with how it turned out. Now I just need to cut 20 of these puppies for the gals to put together!
Happy crafting.
