Easel Cards

 

 

 

Easel cards are a nice change up from the normal

card design.  It allows the card to become 3-D.

Below are instructions for a twisted easel card.

Start with a 4.5x9 inch of scrapbook paper.

Fold in half. 

 

 

Then fold corner to corner on top half.

 

This fold allows the card to stand up....as in easel stand.

It twists so it stands at an angle.  Makes for an interesting

presentation. 

 

 

By adding a chipboard piece the card is propped so

it stays in one position.

These cards are great for invitations, welcoming a new baby,

and happy birthdays.

 

Add images, flowers, and Altered pages partner

Spring is the Beginning

 

Banner

 

 

 

 

Spring is a great time to celebrate for many reasons.

One of the best ways to express this time is with a

handmade banner.  This banner represents Easter, and

Springtime.  Made with Altered Pages sweet Easter and

Spring collage sheets, it is very welcoming and bright.

 

You begin with a 5x7 inch piece of scrapbook paper. I double

the banner to give it a sturdy foundation.  I then but the "V"

shape to make the banner flag.  I make three of these, and

you can either make them all the same or different.

 

 

Then of course you collage!  I have use several images from the

listing of Altered Pages collage sheets listed below.

I add gold hearts, and sayings to each banner.  I punch

holes around one inch in from edge of banner and just 1/2 inch

down from top.  I thread jute or you can use anything you like to

create hanger. Finally I created small word tags to add with Gelato's

and Stencil 1 sayings.

I hope you give this a try, and not just for

Easter or Springtime -- works for all times of the year!

Thanks for taking a look, and as always come on over
