Hi Everybody,
Easel Cards
are such an easy style to make and yet can give some beautiful results.
are such an easy style to make and yet can give some beautiful results.
It was one of the first things I tried when I was new to card making and I did videos on all the variations over the years.
But I thought would be good to re-visit as there are always new people starting this hobby and they don't know how to do it.
I am also staying with my personal challenge of using old stuff and so saving money on buying stuff I won't use.

All of these card have used a 300 gsm smooth white card and I have coloured it my self with Distress Oxides that I already have.
You can try this with anything that you already have too and some of the things I use are so old they may no longer be available to purchase.
In the video there are three styles for you to try and over the next few videos I will be covering others.
They will be getting a little more intricate each time, though none of them are difficult
I have used shaped nesting dies and do if you have some of those then you are on your way.
Click the link above to the video and it will open a new window for you to view on YouTube.
It is a little longer then normal but I do cover three styles and the creating of the background too so I hope you will enjoy it just the same
The backgrounds are all created the same way just different colour schemes and this is such an enjoyable process that I will never buy coloured paper again
Experiment with your inks to see which colours look good together.
More tomorrow ...
Hugs xx
Lovely cards Christina. Enjoyed video will have a go at making my own backgrounds. I haven’t made an easel card in ages, so will have to remedy that. Thanks for inspiration

They are all wonderful! I am trying to think if I have ever made a circle easel before!
