Back today with my card for All That Scraps Magnolia Challenge # 7, HERE!  The challenge is, “Let’s Celebrate Birthdays“!  Hope you can join us!  I had to try my hand at another twisted easel card.

Here’s a close up of this cutie Tilda… she makes me smile!

Tilda with Heart Lace is from the NEW, You Are So Special Collection, HERE.  I also used the Happy Birthday stamp, the Mini Zig Zag and Scalloped Lace die,  the Romantic Lace die and the Romantic Lace Tag all from that same NEW collection, HERE. I also used the Doohickey’s Swirl die, HERE.

How I made this Twisted Easel Card…

  • first I made the 6×6 card front, colored the image, layered it up, etc

  • then the card base as follows in the photos below…

TwistPic3

  • now you will score your “in half” fold and your diagonal with your bone folder so you have nice, sharp folds and it will look like the next photo

TwistPic6

TwistPic7

  • decorate the base so it holds your easel in place when it’s open.  Oh and I should say the card folds flat for mailing!  cool!

The Martha Stewart Score board is awesome!  I love the 1/8 in. marks all the way across and I love making my own 6×6 envelopes.  It’s in the store, HERE. The pattern paper is from a Basic Grey 6×6 paper pad… the orange card-stock is from Stampin Up… it really is orange/pumpkin, not red.  I used Copic Sketch Markers to color Tilda… skin is E000, 00, 01, 21,  hair is E50, 51, 53, 55, 57,  dress is BV0000, 000, 00, 01, 02, 04,  shadowed a little with C00 and C1.  oh her shoes are E43, 44, 47 and the grass is a crazy mess of greens!!! lol

Have FUN with this challenge and the “twist” on the Easel card!!!  ttul!

  1. Wow, this is lovely Pam! I gotta try that!

  2. What a neat card and oh so pretty!

  3. So pretty Pam. Have I told you how jealous I am of you? I know, bad Tracy. You put so much into your cards. All the details are so perfect and never overdone. And the coloring, that’s where I get even more jealous. You know how perfect I think it is. Love the shading of her purple dress.

    Have a nice evening. Hugs…Tracy :)
