| Double Twisted Easel Card |
I have seen so many easel cards on the net but have somehow never felt like making one.Recently my dear blogger friend
Priya Sivaraj sent a gorgeous easel card to me and I was hooked! So here sharing my first easel card which is a double twisted easel card.
This is the closeup of the handmade paper roses[Link to
Rose tutorial ] with some looped quilled white leaves.

| Double Twisted Easel Card |
Its a bit different from many of the easel cards on the net as I tweaked the dimensions so as to not waste card stock![I am quite the miser at times!!]
I make most of my cards using A 4 size card stock so sharing how I made this double twisted card with minimal wastage.
Fold your A4 into half.Mark the 1/2 way point at 10. 5 cm on the folded edge.Drop a vertical line 10.5 cm long from the central midpoint as shown and draw a horizontal line .
 |
| Double Twisted Easel Card Instructions |
Cut through the lines you have drawn- don't bother about erasing the lines as these lines will be hidden.This will give you 2 squares each measuring 10. 5 cm . Score along the diagonals as shown
 |
| Double Twisted Easel Card Instructions |
Mountain fold along the creases and you have your easel card base. Cut 10. 5 cm squares to mount on the lower triangles.
 |
| Double Twisted Easel Card Instructions |
Make stoppers such as these rectangles raised on double sided foam or use flowers/ buttons etc to help your easel to stand.You can use the yellow card stock you had cut off for the stoppers thus using up those scraps too!
 |
| Double Twisted Easel Card |
The position of your stoppers depends on at what angle you want your easels to stand.I positioned my stoppers symmetrically at an angle .

ReplyDeleteFabulous double twisted easel card Sonia.
ReplyDeletethe colors and embellishments you have used are fantastic .
Love your double easel card! I always enjoy your paper roses and equally love the tutorial. I needed one of those to get my rear in gear on making an easel card!!!
ReplyDeleteThanks dear friend!
:O)

You doubly created a beauty of a Disney double easel card. I especially like the yellow Rose (yellow Roses are my fav Rose). Have made a regular easel card but not a double. Recently I've begun using the Gypsy with my Cricut and have learned how to place the different color cardstocks on the mat and am working on getting the sizes of the cardstock better to minimize waste.

ReplyDeleteThanks for the great tutorial, lovely card, with a pretty rose, I'm going to try this one - hopefully this weekend.
ReplyDeleteThis is beautiful...I'd never made easel cards coz it wastes a lot of CS...this however saves a bit..I'm a miser too when it comes to CS!!
ReplyDeleteI love the soft yellow and the princesses on it!! Thanks for the cheats!! Need more of those...do keep posting any shortcuts to save paper!!
As it is my husband keeps bugging...you guys are killing the trees for paper!
Wow, this is really pretty...and impressive! I've not attempted one of these yet, thank you for the tutorial!
ReplyDeletehugs
I have never seen this card style before...it looks like the easels are jitterbugging with each other...I can see a "nifty fifties" project...maybe a jukebox on one easel and some dancers on the other...what a fun idea! You come up with stuff I've never seen before. I love it!
ReplyDeleteDiane I love the way your brain works-- waiting eagerly to see what you come up with!
ReplyDeleteTejal so nice to find another miser--I am almost embarrassed to admit to my miserly ways!!
Wonderful creation. Lovely colours and your tutorial is so clear.
ReplyDeleteJudex
