Seahorse Easel Card

This is my first easel card in over two or three years.  I went through a phase of making lots and lots of them and then stopped.  huh?  wonder why?

Anyway, here is my seahorse easel card.  The seahorses are actually one thin layer of a 3-ply dinner  paper napkin.  I have a habit of picking up napkins from my friends' homes.  I must have fifty or more.  The styles, colors and shapes are quite varied.  So when I saw the new Library Challenge, I thought of the seahorse dinner napkin right away.

The color in the second picture is very close to the actual color.  If you are interested in how I used the napkin technique, click here.

Have a great weekend!

One More Easel Card

While making this easel card, I found a ribbon from a birthday present that I have been saving -- for something!  I'm not very good at making bows but this ribbon has a wire edging which really helps to shape the bow.    So I added it to this card.  Pretty and feminine.






The cardstock is double sided and I used both sides for the card.  The bow is glued on a doily which adds a pretty background and blends in with the cardstock patterns. 

Mailing the card could get tricky.  But the card folds down nicely and mailing in a bubble envelope will protect the ribbon.  Since the edges are wire, the bow can be puffed up easily.

Easel Card

While browsing through Pinterest a few weeks ago, I came across an easel card.  An easel card?  After a couple clicks, I found the original post which was a tutorial on making easel cards.  I love them and made several. 

So I looked for other tutorials and here are two that I really like:

Easel card tutorial at Stamping Moments

This card starts with a 12" x 12" piece of cardstock cut into three  4" x 12" pieces (you  have pieces for three cards).

Easel card tutorial at Splitcoast Stampers

These directions are a little different -- same result but different approach.  You start with one 4 1/4" x 8 1/2" piece of cardstock and one 4 1/4" piece of cardstock.

Below are a few of my easel cards:
