It's Thursday...it's time for tea....it's Teddy Bo's Top Tips!!!

Hi my sweet Teddy Bo friends, Jill here!

I am so lucky to be the first to show you a tutorial for the Teddy Top Tips Tutorials.

I have made a tutorial for a post-it easel card as I think it's a perfect little gift,
for yourself or for someone you care about

This is what we will make:

Here we go!

This is the equipment you need:

Scorepal

A paper cutting tool

12"x12" Bazzill cardstock(or similar)

Designer paper, I used 4 sheets of 6x6"

Flowers, ribbon, pearls (whatever you fancy!)

Post-it note block

Image, my choice is TeddyBoBea_071

Distress ink (I use Frayed burlap)

I started with the base of the "card"

You need one piece of 12x6" Bazzill. Score at 5 3/4" and 6 1/4" and find the middle of one of the large areas and score there.

Distress the edges if you want to

For the base to hold the block you use a

6x4" piece of bazzill and score a 1/2" in from every side.

Make a cut in on all four sides, so you can build the box. Don't glue the box yet, as you want to cover the edges with DP. Ink the edges.

Cut designer paper, to fit all the sides, inside and outside. If you do that your box will be much more stable.

The outside first

Then the two shortest sides, glue together and then you do the longest on the inside

Your box is ready and as you see it fits the post-it note block perfectly!

Then its time to cover the easel card with designer paper.

For my card I chose the gorgeous papers from My Minds Eye, I just love these papers!

Time to decorate!

The beautiful Teddy Bea and Jolly is coloured with copics, in these colours:

Bea: E44-43-42-41, R20,

Bea's pants: BG OOO-01-93, W1

Bea's blouse and hat: B97-95-93-91

Letters: W5-3-1-0

Jolly: YR 24-21-20-000, E 35-33-31

Jolly's hat: BG 99-96-93

Ground : W5-3-1-0

I have used a mat behind the image that measures 5"x 5 1/4", but  you can use a size that fits your image. 

And now you can decorate your post-it-easelcard as you wish, and this is how I did mine.

Hope you enjoyed this tutorial that I have made for you!

Big hugs to you all and have a fabulous day!
