Hi craft friends, welcome back.  Today I have a NEW Card Making Video: Three Easy Easel Card Designs.  Easel cards have been around for a long time. I made my first video about 8 – 10 years ago.  I thought it might be time to revisit them as they are so much fun to make.  So I grabbed the NEW Simple Vintage Flower Shop Die sets from Spellbinders and started making cards.  I came up with a 5 x 5 square card, an A2-sized one with an arched easel, and a 3.5″ Round one to share with you today.

Affiliate links are used throughout this post at no additional cost to you.  This allows me to keep bringing you content.  I appreciate your support.

Today’s Video covers three different sizes of Easel Cards.  There are lots of videos out there, and lots of different ways of putting these together, this is how I like to put them together.

Products Used:

• Simple Vintage Flower Shop – Flower Cart Etched Dies
•                                                       – Stitch and Dots Scallop Border
•                                                       – Scallop Journal Cards
• Essential Arches
• Handwritten Sentiments from the Tulip Garden Collection

The same color cardstock was used in all three cards, White, Black, Waterfall, Blush, Tutu, Dahlia, Rainforest and Silver, all from Spellbinders and linked below.

Three Easy Easel Card Designs – Card #1  – How to make a 5 x 5 Square Easel Card.

Card Base:  5″ x 10″, score and fold at 5″ and 2.5″.

Next, cut mats and card fronts.

Black Mat 4-7/8″ square (2)

Fog card front: 4-3/4″ square (2)

Die cut all the embellishments:  Use Kraft cardstock for the flower cart and ink blend it with Gathered Twigs Distress Oxide Ink.

Smaller pieces of Waterfall, Blush, Tutu, Dahlia and Rainforest are used for the rest along with scraps of silver, black and white.

How to create the base for this Square Easel Card instructions starts at 4:40 in the video below.

Three Easy Easel Card Designs – Card #2  – How to make a A2 or 4-1/4″ x 5-1/2″ Easel Card.

Start with a white card base 4-1/4″ x 11″, score and fold at 5-1/2 then 2-3/4″ to create the easel base.

Next, cut mats and card fronts.

Black:  4-1/4″ x 5-1/2″ (2)

Waterfall:  4 x 5-1/4″ (2)

For the top part (the easel) – use the Essential Arches to die cut the pieces.  The largest die for the black mat and the second largest die for the front panel

Then, die cut all the embellishments and attach them as shown in the video.

The A2 sized Easel Card instructions starts at 8:47 in the Video

Three Easy Easel Card Designs – Card #3  – How to make a Round Easel Card.

There are quite a few different ways to make die cut easel cards.  This is one of the ways.

Use a circle die larger than the largest round scalloped die from the Scallop Journal Cards Die set to cut 3 circles to create the Easel Card.

Next, cut 2 large scalloped circles in white.

Then, cut the leaf and flower sprig twice to create the wreath for the card front.

Finally, use the Handwritten Sentiments Die set from the Tulip Garden Collection to create the two sentiments in silver and black.

The Round Easel Card instructions start at 12:47 in the video
