Grateful

Hey everybody, happy Saturday! I hope you are not sweltering in this Summer heat! It’s pretty warm and humid here, so I’m doing the easy thing… staying indoors crafting! I have another fun ScrapbookingStore DT inspiration project to share with you today created with papers and stickers in the July 2026 Scrapbook Kit! I’ve had THE best time with the patriotic red, white and blue patterns in this collection! And this swing easel card design is one of my favorites because it puts a little different spin on the classic easel card.

I cut the easel card base from CutCardStock Lessebo Dawn Maroon cardstock along with layering panels from Stampin’ Up Dazzling Diamonds paper and two coordinating prints in the collection. I embellished the swing easel with sentiment and image stickers from the sticker sheet, and added another sentiment to a long narrow strip across the bottom (popped up on Scrapbook Adhesives Crafty Foam Tape) which serves as the easel stopper.

And here’s an additional side view to see the fun construction of this card. There is plenty of room to write a handwritten message on the white space inside, and it folds flat for mailing. I typically place the stopper about an inch closer to the fold line to make the focal panel stand up a little more. Not sure why I didn’t do that this time, but I still love how it turned out!
