It's time for the new challenge at Birthday Sundaes. And this challenge is a fun and challenging one. The challenge is to create an easel card. I was very nervous about doing this. I have made one once before, but I wanted to try a different kind.
But, before I get to my card, we have a sponsor - Twendy Twine. Check out the blog here, and the store here.
And here is the cool prize one lucky participant will win.
Trendy Twine ValenTwine Mini Pack {Valentine's Day Bakers Twine}
This little pack includes 40 yards:
20 yd of Valentine Cherry Cupcake
10 Berry Red
10 Posy Pink
Kristie has a few tutorial on the at Birthday Sundaes for some assistance with getting started with your easel card. I had made a regular, straight easel card last year. This time I wanted to create a sideways one. This is the tutorial I used.
I was really nervous about getting this done. I had a horrible week at work and was just having a hard time getting anything done in the evenings. I finally decided what I wanted to do and studied the tutorial. I thought I would have a problem with getting the folds right, but I understood how it was supposed to work, so I was able to improvise when it didn't look like the one in the tutorial. Here it is:

I used the DCWV Celebrations stack. Just perfect for birthday cards. The image and sentiment are from the Paws I Care set from Whimsie Doodles. The card in the tutorial was 8 x 8. I thought that was a little large, so I reduced mine to 5 3/4 x 5 3/4. I made a 6 x 6 envelope to go with it.
I hope you will give an easel card a try. I look forward to seeing all of the wonderful creations submitted this week.
