The idea for this card came from Connie Stewart's tutorial on making a Z-Fold Easel card found here: Z Fold Easel Card Tutorial: The Greeting Card To DIY This Season (simplysimplestamping.com). I used her measurements to create a cut file in my Silhouette Studio software to create the card.
The monsters on the front of the card are digi stamps by Gerda Steiner that I colored with Copic markers. The inner image of the boy in a werewolf costume is from The Paper Shelter. The sentiment on the front of the card was an acrylic stamp while the one on the inside of the card was a rubber stamp. I used my MISTI to stamp the images.
I shared the Silhouette cut file for this card in the Silhouette Card Making & Paper Crafts FB group if anyone would like to download the file and try it out! There's a wealth of free files in that group made by wonderful people who share their creativity. Many of the files have SVG versions for people who have Cricuts or Brother Scan 'N Cuts or other electronic cutting machines. I'm thinking about upgrading to Business Edition software so I can convert Silhouette Studio files to SVG files and share them with people using other types of cutting machines.
