Today is my turn in the KLSNS Stampin N' Scrappin spotlight and I have an Easel Card tutorial to share with you. These are really easy to make, but turn an ordinary card into an extraordinary card!
To start off, you will need the following supplies:
1 piece of Cardstock 5 1/2" x 5 1/2"
1 piece of Cardstock 11" x 5 1/2"
Scoring Tool
Strong Adhesive
Extra cardstock/designer paper for both the front and inside of the card
Stamps, Ink and Embellishments
Take the 11" x 5 1/2" piece of cardstock and score it at 2 3/4" and 5 1/2"
Fold the cardstock at the 5 1/2" score line first (folding the card in half). Next fold the 2 3/4" score line in the opposite direction. It should look like this when done:
Decorate the card front (the 5 1/2" x 5 1/2" piece of cardstock) as well as the inside of the card. For the inside, add an extra layer ~ in this case I used the wavy punched layer ~ an embellishment (buttons, brads, dew drops, flowers etc.) or even a sentiment placed on dimensionals in order for the front of the card to have something to rest against.
I paper pieced my image and shadowed some of it with copics. The balloon was paper pieced and then covered in Crystal Effects.
Place adhesive on the 2 3/4" x 5 1/2" end flap as shown:
Line up the top of the card front with the top of the 2 3/4" x 5 1/2" section and adhere together.

And here is the finished card.
Thanks for stopping by and I hope my project has inspired you to create an Easel card of your own.
Have a wonderful day!
