Pokemon Ball Easel Card

 Hi Creators,

Well in this weeks Something Saturday I show you how to create a really easy (and simple) Pokemon Ball Easel card.  If you have someone in your life who's a Pokemon fan, they'll love this card!

I made one last month for one of Sam's friends (youngest son), and as he was so impressed with it I thought I'd better make one for him too.  Of course you can't do the same card twice, so his ties in another interest - Dinosaurs😃

Here's the first card I made for his friend:

 

I have to admit most of it was made with retired goodies (just as well I kept those dinos!)

Here's the finished card.....

As you can see, if it wasn't an easel card it would roll around and fall over (being a ball!),  I figured this was the perfect way to display the ball.

You can see I've added a small circle of card that I stamped grass onto, folded it in 1/2 and stuck it down.  I've then added some of the Matte dots which I thought were still current catalogue items, oops my bad, apparently they were from the Christmas catalogue, so in fact the only current items I've used are the cardstocks!🤣

Ah well just goes to show - that you should dig out your older stuff every now and then and use it (I haven't used the dinos for a couple of years or so)

The base card is really easy to make too, you need to cut out a circle from a folded card, but leave the top so it's joined, then you fold inwards a section on one side, and find something to stick in the middle of the unfolded side, then "prop" it up like an easel, and decorate the front of the card (the video explains better!)

 

I hope this inspires you to create!

God Bless love
