Lazy kitty - TMS #316


Happy Tuesday to you!  It's time for Tuesday Morning Sketches!! Have we got a great challenge for you today!  The sketch is awesome, but if possible, we'd like to see it made as an easel card!  Before you panic, let me assure you that basic easel cards are, in my opinion, the easiest of any fancy fold to make.  

Here's my card, then I'll give a quick explanation of how I made it.  Easy-peasy, I assure you!  {There are lots of easel card instructions on YouTube}


Here's Melissa's wonderful sketch...


My DP is Basic Grey.  My sentiment is from Sweet 'n Sassy Christmas Tags.  My image is Lazy House Cat from SLS Lines... our sponsor for this week. 



Here are some more views of my card and then some explanation...



Here is what I did to make my card.  I cut 3 circles of the brown.  {I used my CM Circle Cutting System... haven't used this in YEARS!!!}  One circle was the front, one was the base, and one was scored and was the connection between the other 2.  I made parallel score lines... one near the top and the other about halfway down.  The small top section was adhered to the base, then the front of the card was adhered to the bottom half of the middle circle.  The sentiment was popped up so that it holds the front up.  It really is easy and fun to make easel cards!!
