Merriest Trees Easel Card

It's nearing the end of September and Christmas will be here before we know it. So I figured it is time to get started on those Christmas projects and what a great time to start using our new products from the September-December 2023 Mini Catalogue.

This week I created a really easy Easel Card, using the Merriest Trees bundle and A Walk in the Forest Designer Series Paper.

Merriest Trees Easel Card

It's great to jazz up your Christmas cards and give the recipient a lovely surprise by creating an easy to create easel card like this one. This card would look lovely displayed on the buffet or mantle at Christmas time. The easel is basically the card front scored and folded in half and propped up using the sentiment label as a stopper.

I created this card on my Facebook Live this week and you can see the video replay below for all the step by step instructions.

The trees on my card have been two-step stamped in combinations of Old Olive, Garden Green and Pretty Peacock ink, then die cut with the coordinating Merriest Trees Dies. What I love about the tree stamp is that it is actually a five tiered tree, but can be die cut in tiers of 1-5, so that you can create different sized trees. Brilliant idea, right! Here I have cut the four-tiered tree and two three-tiered trees. The cute brown bear has been fussy cut with Paper Snips Scissors from the A Walk in the Forest Designer Series Paper. The tree decorations are all created from this stamp and die bundle.

I added a white layer inside for writing a Christmas message. I love that it's a small panel, which means I don't need to write too much. Love that!
