Double Twisted Easel Card

 Hi Everybody,

Today I am sharing how I made the Double Twisted variation of the easel card and the result is very pretty.

It is another card that can be adapted to suit any occasion or gender and dressed up as much or as little as you prefer

Double Twisted Easel Card

This card has another hand created inked panel but for the others I have used designer card from AnnaMarie Designs.

If you are new to cardmaking then this may be something that you would like to try and it really is easy to do.

It will get your creative juice flowing  again if you have got yourself in a rut from making the same card  shape and size over and over again

There is no end to what you can do with this style if card and there are lots of dies that will help you as well

I brought out lots of different shaped ones as

 Card Making Magic 

and I did lots of videos to show you how to use them.

You can find them all  on my YouTube Channel in the Easel Card Playlist.

Double Easel Card

 Hi Everybody,

Today I am re introducing the Double Easel Card

that I covered on YouTube about thirteen years ago.

I am going to go through all the variations I covered years ago and re-new them here on the blog.

So far this is only the second video in this series as I covered the single style on Monday with three different ways to get that look for yourself.

They are easy to do and yet look very impressive to your recipient and there are many ways you can dress them up ... or down ... as the whim takes you.

I have kept this card to a gold and white theme and it would make a lovely wedding card too.

You can also vary the size, and where you place the stops, for different looks to your card and once you get the hang of making it you can play around even more

The second card in the video has been created with another of the inked background panels that are so quick to make and very addictive.

I hope you enjoy watching the video and all you need to do us click this link to view on YouTube.,.

Using those Roses

Hi Everybody,

Here are the other cards I created using up the roses from last week, as it would have bee such a shame to waste them.

The card to the right is a DL done in lilac and green, and to me this is such a calming combination to use.

It works well for any occasion and would suit a male theme to ... minus the flowers.

The panel is made by running a peice of card through an embossing folder and then swiping the ink lightly over the top

I used several layers for this design and added the flowers with foam pads to give them height.

The sentiment are just some that I found on my desktop and they came in really handy for these cards.

This oval card was created from nesting dies with the layers done in different colours.

The pink layer was done by swiping Picked Raspberry ink pad around the edges of the oval  and layering it up once it was dry. 

The butterflies are cut from silver mirror card and added to parchment..

Hope you like ...

More tomorrow ...
