Easel Cards and Stencil 1

 
 

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
this month is Stencil 1.  There are many great selections
to add images or words to your easel creations.
I hope you give it a try!

 Handy Tip for Artists, Recyclers and Neat Freaks! I have a follow-up to the Citra-Sol method for creating fabulous background pages and collages.   I bought a big bag of navel oranges and realized I had the ingredients to make my own solvent!   Simply take a clean glass jar, peel the rind from the oranges and place all the rind/peels, without the pulp (tangerines, oranges, navels) into the jar.   Pour enough vinegar over the peels to cover them.    Allow the jar to sit for a week or two and VOILA!     You have made your own solvent for literally pennies.    You will notice the liquid getting a bit thicker than the plain vinegar and it does not smell bad!!! I now have a  HUGE jar on the window sill!       Be careful and only use this after testing on a safe spot.
