Hi Stampers!
It’s been a while since I’ve posted. Today is the first day I’ve been in my craft room in almost two weeks!
What kept me from my favorite room in the whole house? Well, it all started with a bout of seasonal allergies which triggered something called bronchial spasms (bronchospasms)! This malady involves a lot of coughing! Let’s just say bronchial spasms are no fun, none at all!!! I am feeling much better now, and am thrilled to be back in my craft room creating again!
Today’s cards feature the SIT STAY RELAX stamp set. This is a host set and can be obtained with STAMPIN’ REWARDS. All orders of $150 or more earn STAMPIN’ REWARDS. The stamp set is found in the STAMPIN’ UP!®️ 2022-2023 ANNUAL CATALOG that premiers Tuesday 3 May! For more information on STAMPIN’ REWARDS look in current catalogs under Host & Join (at the back of the catalogs) or log on to my Stampin’ Up Online Store HERE and click on HOST.
Let’s take a look at the cards:
I call these cards MINI EASEL CARDS. The design is simply a resizing of a classic fun fold. These cards measure 4 1/4” square, and they do fit in a Stampin’ Up! Medium Envelope (A-2 size).
Here is a look at the cards in their easel position.

CUTTING DIMENSIONS FOR MINI EASEL CARDS CARD BASE AND LAYERS:
* Card base - 4 1/4” x 8 1/2” scored at 2” and 4 1/4”. Fold and score on the 4 1/4” score line.
* Piece of cardstock same color as card base cut at 4 1/4” square.
* Background layer - 4” x 4”.
* Basic White or light colored cardstock cut at 4” square for inside card.
* Piece of cardstock, DSP, etc cut at 1” x 4” and scored at 1/2”. Place adhesive on one side of the score line, then press the two side together. This piece serves as the stopper to display the card in easel position.
Creating each of my sample cards requires a little masking. I created my masks by stamping the images on scraps of printer paper, and then fussy cut them. Why are my masks colored? Many times I use scrap printer paper to stamp and color images to get an idea of how they will look on the card. I find this saves me from tossing out a lot of Basic White cardstock.
