An Easel Card…. pretty neat idea

I decided to play along with the Splitcoast Stamper Technique challenge to make an Easel Card.

I had never seen them before – but I thought it was pretty clever.

The card is designed to prop up (like an easel) and become a little decoration.  You can get the directions to make the card from Splitcoast (link above).

Here is the front of the card.  Yes – I used my freebie digital stamp again. (I promise to post something else tomorrow!).  But if you want to use this stamp, you can download it from this blog post.

The image is colored with Copics.  The paper is Prism Dark Seude, and some Bazzill and KI memories paper left over from last year (using those scraps again)

I used the square steps corner slot punch and the Diamond Elegance border punch along the bottom.

So…. when you open the card it props up like this.

A brad placed in the middle of the bottom holds the top in the tent position.  So the card can be easily set out for display.

Clever huh?

You can still write a message inside the card above where the brad is placed.

My only question is – do you think people would know how to set it up.   I mean non-card addicted people (notice I did not say “normal” people).

They are fun and easy to make though.

Oh, and one quick reminder:
