FOLDED EASEL CARD

FOLDED EASEL CARD

SIDE VIEW
Although you can buy pre-made easel cards from Regal (they call them tilt cards), you can also make your own from their 3-panel cards.

If you want to do this, then cut off one panel, and crease and fold the back panel in half.  Add double sided tape to the front of the fold, and stick the cut-off panel onto it (the tape will go half way up the panel).  Its probably easier to add your decoration and embellishment before you stick the panels together.  There needs to be some sort of raised shape or panel at the end of the inner back (which becomes the base) so that the panel will sit up.

I've used some stamps from Darkroom door, and as they make quite a statement on their own, I've kept the colour scheme very basic - just dark green Versafine on granite card.  I've cut out a couple of the leaves and mounted them on top of the base image using foam dots to add a little more height, to echo the two leaves on the base which are also stuck on with foam tape to make the "stopper" for the front panel.  I've added a few embossed lines using my scoreboard and a line sticker, that I've coloured in with a green alcohol marker to match.
