This is gorgeous! Thanks for the inspiration. I have never made an easel card, but your comment about using it as decoration gave me an idea. Our oldest grandchild just got married this summer. Now I want to try to make a similar card as a combo card/gift for them - and for each of the other grandkids as well. Hopefully that will give them a lasting memento from their grandparents.

Love your white-on-white easel! The little pop of gold is perfect! Note to self: Make more easel cards! They look so gorgeous on display, and like you said, they fold up for regular postage! Thank you for the inspiration!

Day 4 - Red, White, and Blue

I like seeing non-traditional Christmas colours on seasonal cards... it's an extra little surprise when you open the envelope expecting to see red, green and gold and get something quite different.  So today I thought we'd go for a colour combination that isn't generally associated with Christmas - red, white and blue.

 

 

YOUR TURN: Create a Christmas card using red, white and blue as the primary colours.

Day 3 - Easel Cards

An easel card is a great choice when you want to create a beautiful project that can be displayed as part of your Christmas decorating.  One of the great things about these cards is that they fold up as flat as an ordinary card for normal postage... plus they're quite simple to make and can be adapted to different sizes and shapes.

I started by die cutting a shaped card with Quickutz Nesting Frame 9, which formed my easel base, then added more die cuts, some embossing and a stamped sentiment to complete my project.

 

 

YOUR TURN:  Create an easel card.

Yes! Now its starts! Oh, how I have been looking forward to it. :)

Day 2 - Poinsettias

Of all the flowers and foliage used at Christmastime, my absolute favourite is the poinsettia.  They look fabulous on Christmas cards and as decorations around the house, and they don't always have to be coloured in the traditional red and green that is familiar to most of us.  I've seen them done in shades of pink and yellow and even purple and blue! 

 

 

YOUR TURN: Create a Christmas card or project using a poinsettia image.

Upload your creation here.
