I had seen a variation of this twisted easel card on Pinterest and eventually followed one of the links to find out how to it was done. This is my first attempt and because I used 2 word die cuts it actually fits the challenge at JUGs this week although initially it wasn’t made with any challenge in mind. It is a larger card so will cost a bit more to mail, but I like the end result and all the scraps leftover gave me a similar but smaller designed card. The inspiration came from here, but I found some instructions here. Basically you use a 12″ by 6″ piece of card stock and you score at 6″. The twisted part you score from corner to corner on the diagonal. PP is from designsbyreminisce.com For the snowflake panel I used some scrap cs and stamped it randomly with snowflakes and backed it with some gold paper. The Xmas tree is a die from Essentials and comes in 2 pieces and I used some scrap pp to cut the word tree part and added it to the darker gold base. To hold the easel up I used a button and some canvas with thread pulled through and tied into a bow. Then I cut the Happy Holidays using another die from Essentials. Of course any subsequent card looks better because once I’ve practiced the how, other cards are easier to make.

Thanks – I enjoyed making this card and the subsequent smaller version. All I’m doing lately is Christmas cards and if they fit a challenge they get entered. I should have started earlier but as usual it will be a rush to complete them all.

Fun card with the fold. There is a double twisted easel tutorial on Split coast Stampers you might enjoy. I think it is the same concept, just two pieces in the air.
