Welcome to Crafty Collaborations Fall Fun Fold blog hop. We hope we inspire you to create a few fall cards that will WOW your recipients. I have chosen to make a Center Easel card with gorgeous Splendid Autumn papers.

The Splendid Autumn papers are all quite beautiful and this is one of my favorites. I decorated it simply- it doesn’t really need anything- with just a single die cut flower from the Cheerful Daisies bundle. And that sentiment….isn’t it great? That is from the Citrus Blooms stamp set. I stamped it on a banner from the most used pack of dies in my craft room- Stylish Shapes.

instructions for the splendid autumn center easel fold card

1. Cut an Old Olive card base 8 1/2″ x 5 1/2″ and score at 4 1/4″.
2. Open your card base and cut from the top edge down to the score line in 1 1/2″ from each side. Then adhere the two side pieces shut!
3. Score the center piece that is not glued down 2″ from the fold.
4. Cut 2 pieces of Crushed Curry card stock 1 3/8″ x 4 1/8″ and adhere to the right and left side of the card base (the glued down pieces.)
5. Also from Crushed Curry cut a 1 7/8″ x 2 3/8″ piece and adhere to the top portion of the easel flap; a 2 1/8″ x 2 3/8″ piece and adhere to the bottom portion of the flap; and a 2 3/8″ x 4 1/8″ piece for the inside of the card.
6. Trim your 6″ x 6″ piece of patterned paper to 4″ x 5 1/4″ in landscape orientation.
7. Starting with the left edge, trim off 1 1/2″. This gets adhered to the left hand side piece.
8. Cut a piece 2 1/4″ wide. Turn it 90 degrees and cut it at 1 3/4″. These will be adhered to the top and bottom of the easel flap.
9. The last piece should be 1 1/2″ and gets adhered to the right side of the card.
10. Cut a piece of Basic White 2 1/4″ x 4″ and adhere to the inside.
11. Stamp your sentiment on a scrap of Crushed Curry. Die cut with the small thin banner die.
12. Use dimensionals to attach the banner die to the inside of the card in the correct position to hold the easel portion folded.
13. Use Early Espresso to stamp the small daisy flower and die cut.
14. Die cut a stem and leaves from Old Olive.
15. Adhere the stem and leaves to the lower portion of the easel. Add the flower with adhesive only on the portion below the easel’s fold.
16. Add some bling!
