Lift Me Up Bundle Easel Card

Sometimes it takes me a few looks before I fall in love with a product.  And sometimes, at first glace, i know I have to have it.
The lift me up Bundle didn't take any warming up to... as soon as I turned the page in the Occasions catalogue, I knew I needed this bundle.

It's just so fun.
And for club this month, we've been doing basic A4 cards for a while now, so I wanted to introduce a new fold.
it's simple and also very effective. It's known as an Easel card.
I took this amazing design from Angela McKay (click here to link to her blog post)

And adapted it to the supplies I already have (I don't have the new circle framelits yet) and voila!

 I also have a confession: I have had the color "night of navy" for 8 years, and I don't think i've ever used it in a card.  Like, the card stock was still in the wrapper.
And wouldn't you know, it works awesome! Even as a neutral (think "jean", and how it goes with everything).
That's one of the things I love about getting Stampin' Ups DSP (designer series paper), it tells you what colors are in the paper and you base your project on those colors!
Brilliant. AND you can get this DSP for FREE when you purchase this bundle! But only until the end of march.

This is a close up of the balloon... it took me a while (and an email) to figure out the background of the balloon, and it's just framelits that are included!
So fun.

here are the directions for a square easel card:

Thanks for looking!
