Project of the Week ~ Easel Card

Hello, Brenda here with another Project of the Week for Repeat Impressions. I am so excited to share my project with you. I decided to make an Easel card with a crazy quilt background. I picked this adorable penguin stamp #8801 Swinging Penguin from the Christmas Penguins stamps. You can see all of the darling little guys here.

I wanted the card to be able to open to two different points so I added a sentiment tag attached with bakers twine. The sentiment is #1141 Merry Christmas and is placed higher on the inside.

The card is 5 X 5 1/2. I started with a piece of white card stock that measured 5 X 11 and using my Scor Pal I scored at 3 and 5 1/2 folding both creases to the inside.

I added Scor Tape to the bottom section of the front as shown here.

For the front I grab some of my favorite Christmas papers left over from last years cards.

This is what the front looked like after I cut and arranged the scraps in a patterned I liked. Notice I didn’t worry about the center as it would be hidden behind my image. I repeated the process for the lower panel on the inside.

I hope you enjoyed my project and are inspired to give an easel card a try. Have a fabulous and fun week.

Brenda
