Ghostly Gasps


Hi everyone.  Thanks for stopping by today.  Today's share is a super simple, and when i say simple i mean simple, Halloween card.  All this card consists of is the base (which is average size of 4 1/4" x 5 1/2" and is in the Basic Black) and then a punch for the moon which i used the Circle Framelits and the Daffodil Delight card stock.  I took my my moon and placed the ghost framelit from the Fun Fall Framelit set and cut out my image and then placed a piece of Whisper White behind it.  Then, to finish it out i cut out some houses from the Holiday Home framelit set and just placed them on the bottom of the card.  

And that is literally it my friends.  Just a quick and super simple Halloween card that could be made in a bundle really quick.  The item that i am showcasing today is the Fun Fall Framelit set. AMAZING and in the Holiday Catalog right now.

Thinking Of You At Christmas


Hi there all! Welcome to Mrs. Lincoln's Inkin'!!! Thanks so much for checking in today:)

Today's share is of a simple Christmas card using one of my all time favorite sets, Lovely As A Tree.  This set has been around forever..... and there is good reason.... because it's AMAZING!!!  This set can be used for so many things. By far the best "nature" stamp and all it consists of is trees, lol:)  Now the trees that are in the back of the "woods" is actually from the set Festival of Trees, i love that it is also a pine tree, however the 2 taller trees that are in the front are from Lovely As A Tree.

The base of my card is average size of 4 1/4" x 5 1/2" and is using the Soft Suede card stock and then Whisper White is the top color of my card.  I wanted it to be clean and simple so there is a lot of the White showing and i just randomly stamped my tree from my set in Old Olive ink.  The little deer that is making his way through the woods is from the set White Christmas.  I stamped his outline in Black Memento Ink and then used my Skin Tone Blendabilites to color him in.  

The set that i am showcasing today... or i should say "sets" is the Lovely As A Tree and the Festival of Trees.  Both awesome sets!!!





Well that is all for today my friends.  Thanks again for stopping by.  Don't forget to check out the Weekly Deals and the Clearance Rack before you head out:)  Until next time...

Gate Fold Easel Picture Tutorial


Hi everyone.  Welcome to Mrs. Lincoln's Inkin' and today's card/project share.  Today is actually a picture tutorial on how to make this Gate Fold Easel card.  It is so cute.  This is what it looks like when it is opened...



So neat huh? I love it!!! I did this one with a Fall theme and love the "Fall" wreath on the inside.  It is from the Christmas stamp set Wonderous Wreath.  I used the Baby Wipe Technique on this image so that i could get numerous colors on the wreath.  I did a picture tutorial on that technique too. You can view that entire post Here.  So, let's get started on how to make today's project shall we?

First you are going to need a piece of card stock that is cut at 8 1/2" x 11.  The picture below is using Chocolate Chip.



Once you have your color chosen, on the 11" side you need to make a score line at 5 1/2".


Now flip your card stock so the 8 1/2" side is at the top of your score board and score at 2 1/8" and 6 3/8".



Now flip your card stock 9- degrees and score at 2 1/4" and 6 1/4".  These score lines should be just inside the score lines that you scored at 2 1/8" and 6 3/8"


Now you are going to do another score mark in between your 2 1/4" and 6 1/4" lines.  Then you are going to want to cut out the 2 side rectangles as seen below.


Fold all of your score lines.


You are going to need an inside piece that is cut at 4" x 5 1/4".  Below i am using Pumpkin Pie.  You can choose to use the same color as the base of your card:)


To create your easel cut a piece at 4" x 5 1/2" and then attach it ONLY to the bottom panel under your score line.  If you adhere to the entire piece then it won't stand up!!



For your panels you are going to need 4 cut at 1 7/8" x 5 1/4".  Now, if you want DSP atop of those panels, like i did on my card at the top of the post, then you would cut another 4 panels at 1 3/4" x 5 1/8". 



Your panels are going to go on the front of your card and then on the inside pieces to makes sure that your inside is decorated as well:)



So this is what it would look like when all of your pieces are put together.  Now, to hold your easel up you are going to want to put either a strip, a button, a punch of some sort in the middle of your base so that your easel has something to help it hold it up.



Then you will need a belly band to hold your project closed.  This needs to be cut at 8 1/2" x 1".  Now gently fold this around your project.  You do NOT want to fold it tightly, you just want it tight enough to where it holds it closed but you want to make sure that it is able to slide on and off easily.  




There, that wasn't terrible right?  I love the gated cards.  Actually i LOVE everything that has to do with paper crafting... :)  The item that i am showcasing today is a holiday set that is actually in the Annual Catalog called Truly Grateful. 



So that is all for today folks!  Before you head out make sure to check out the Weekly Deals and the Clearance Rack!!  Until next time...
