Easel card with Rock Star

Easel card with Rock Star. The Rock Star bundle is sadly retiring. I only acquired it recently and also bought the Rock Legend Kit because I thought it complimented each other.

The kit is so easy to assemble. I put it together while watching tv. The kit contains 4 each of 2 designs with envelops to match and was inspired to make my own with the stamps and dies before they retired.

Rock Star Bundle

I made a fun fold easel card with the stamps and dies. The first picture shows the card lying flat in the closed position. The middle picture shows the card on display and reveals it’s an easel card. In the third picture, you can see the stopper mechanism I used for the easel section. I cut a strip of the Rock & Roll 12″ x 12″ Designer Series Paper to use for the “stopper” which was adhered with dimensionals.

Inside card

I stamped the images and greeting in the lower third of the card and adhered the stopper mechanism above it.
