Be Inspired #90 Easel Cards



Welcome to our Cuttlebug Challenge for this week!
Receiving a fun card is a delight for just about everyone, and an Easel Card is one of the most versatile design options for creating something extra special!

This week our challenge is to make one of our favorite folded cards....the creative
Easel Card
Basic instructions are to fold a 4.25 x 11 paper in half, and then fold the top piece in half again, creating the easel. (All measurements are flexible to accommodate your desired finished size.) Add your focal point to the front panel, and create a "bumper" on the base...and you have it!
This card will fold flat to fit into an envelope, but opens up to delight the receiver!




The Design Team has created a variety of Easel Cards to inspire you,
many featuring the charming and fresh designs of My Minds Eye, Quite Contrary collection.
