Making an Easel Card

Today I want to re-visit an old technique, Easel Cards.  I hadn't made one for a really long time.  I was reminded of them when I was looking at some of my old blog posts. I used to make Easel Cards a lot when I first started making cards.  Back then, I was trying to gobble up any information on techniques and processes to learn how to do them (I guess I still do that!) anyway...... at some point I ran across a tutorial and was hooked on the Easel Card.  I know there are other methods of making them but I'm showing you the method I learned back then.
I had forgotten just how much fun they are to make and how much I love the end result. They make such a nice display piece, and after putting your time and effort into creating a beautiful card, why not  give the recipient a lovely way to display it?!
Once you get this technique down you will have it in your arsenal to use over and over again.

I made two easel cards. One is also a shaker card.  I did this because..... ONE,  I love shaker cards and... TWO, because I wanted to show you that you can make an easel card any way your little heart desires. I have the shaker card displayed above.

I said above that you can make these without a lot of fuss but once you get the basic method down,  you can get as elaborate as your imagination will take you.  There are some really cool ways to take this basic method and run with it. "The sky's the limit!" as they say.

I made another easel card for my mom but I am not showing it here on my blog, just on my YouTube channel.  I know my mom will see this first so...."Hey Mom, SPOILER ALERT!"
