I made this desktop easel card for my sister, who is a doctor, for her birthday. This was my very first time making a card of this style. I have made easel cards before, but I had never included a drawer on the bottom of it. Some of the images I got from PixelScrapper , where I am a Level 3 Commons Designer, and redesigned them in Photoshop. I saved the images in png format, uploaded them to Cricut Design Space, and cut them out with my Cricut Explorer Air 2 die cutting machine.
I ordered my syringe ink pens from eBay (Disclaimer: If you click on this link and make a purchase, I am subject to receive a percentage of funds made from your order). I got the mini calendar from Taylored Expressions (I am not an affiliate, therefore I do not receive any monetary gains from this link.) I got the memo pad from the Dollar Store.
I used papers, washi tape, vellum, and a mini clipboard topper with the rest of the project. If you would like to see how I made this, please leave a comment and I will try to make a process video on it.
I am a full time working wife and mother of three sons. I love all manner of crafting; From digital scrap-booking to tangible mixed media projects. I love to learn from other people and get exposed to the huge world of art.
Creativity is in my blood. I have always sketched pictures since I was a kid, and now with social media (Thanks YouTube, Pinterest, Google images, etc....) I have become so overwhelmed with what project(s) to do for the day. I don't even know where to start. Should I make cards or make my own clay? Or should I design a wall hanging for the living room. I have become ridiculously indecisive with what I want to make.
Also, I have become a craft hoarder. From paints, to dies and other cutting machines, to scrapbook paper and other designer card stock and embellishments, I have turned my little kitchen nook into my craft studio. I'm surprised my husband hasn't told me to get rid of all of the craft supplies....ie..clutter.
My craft collection addiction is partially what made me want to learn more about digital scrap booking. It is all new for me, but I have invested in the Adobe Photoshop application and I have scoured YouTube on learning different techniques in layering scrapbook images, pages, brushes, and so on.
Now I can go to the next level of design by doing it digitally.
