Elevate Your Card Crafting with a Rock Star Twist: Center Panel Easel Card Tutorial


Get ready to rock with a project that takes inspiration from Dawn Griffith’s Center Panel Easel Card while infusing a burst of musical energy. I’ve embraced the Stampin’ Up! ROCK LEGEND KIT, a treasure trove containing supplies for 8 cards with envelopes, and elevated it to new heights. Join me on this creative journey as I guide you through a step-by-step tutorial demonstrating how to craft a show-stopping center panel easel card that’s sure to impress.

Unlock the Power of Stampin’ Up!’s ROCK LEGEND KIT:
The ROCK LEGEND KIT from Stampin’ Up! is not your average card-making kit. Packed with premium materials and vibrant designs, it provides everything you need to create 8 stunning cards with matching envelopes. From bold graphics to musical motifs, this kit captures the essence of a rock concert, making it the perfect starting point for our innovative project.

Center Panel Easel Card Tutorial:
In my tutorial, I’ll reveal how to transform the contents of the ROCK LEGEND KIT into a mesmerizing unique card design that adds a dynamic and unexpected element to your crafting repertoire.

Pop-Up Delight with Musical Accents:
The real magic of this project lies in the interactive design is a clever folding mechanism. When the center panel is lifted, watch as the guitar and drumsticks pop up, creating a 3D effect that is bound to delight any recipient. It’s a musical surprise that adds an extra layer of charm to your handmade card.

Perfect for All Occasions:
Though the card includes birthdays and congratulations sentiment — you can add anything using stamps from your crafting stash. By using the ALPHABEST bundle you can add more dimension to what the card kit offers. Add a name for a personalized touch paired with the rock and roll theme ensures that your creation will be remembered long after it’s received.

Easy Center Panel Easel Cards

Take the ROCK LEGENDS KIT to the next level!

This was my first version. I just used the cardstock from the kit and added the layers after cutting the center easel panel. I also added “HEY” using the Aphabest stamp for added fun. It is almost reminiscent of a music marquee!
Step up the Card Front with the added panels from the envelope paper! The sentiment using the Alphabest bundle is stamped with Crushed Curry and Real Red inks.
Open this easel card and it becomes 3D with room for an added note and signature!
I used the KIT card blank and cut strips from the included DSP for another design version. I also used the MINI ALPHABET DIES to cut the “hey” sentiment as another option.
Here is the same design featuring patterns from the envelop as panels and the sentiment from the ALPHABEST bundle.
