Angela's PaperArts: Christmas Classics twisted easel card & tutorial

Why not add a little twist to your Christmas cards.

This twisted easel card features the Stampin' Up! Christmas Classics bundle which is sadly retiring and only available while stock lasts or until 3 January, 2024.

To create the twisted easel:

• Score the front of any size of card base from the top right down to the bottom left of the card front and mountain fold. 
• Add an embellishment inside the card which acts as a prop to keep the twisted card front in place.
• Optional: To add a layer of patterned paper, cut the paper 0.5cm smaller than the height & width of the card front and then cut it on the diagonal from top left to bottom right to get the two separate pieces needed for the front of the card.
• Decorate the front and inside of the card to suit your project.
  TIP: Make sure to adhere the card front embellishments onto one of the diagonal panels only so it can stand up without bending your embellishments.

Why not get this bundle before it's gone with free shipping this Thursday, 14 December 2023 only (orders of $65 or more).

The current Stampin' Up! products used on this project can be purchased from my online store if you live in Australia. All retiring products are only available while stock lasts or until 3 January 2024 at the latest.

Ornate Garden Twisted Easel card

Today I'm saying goodbye to the beautiful Ornate Garden Stampin' Up! Designer Series Paper, Ornate Border dies and Tin Tile 3D Embossing Folder, all of which are retiring on or before 3 May, 2021 and which were used on this card.

I taught this card in one of my online classes last year, and it's still one of my favourite versions of the Twisted Easel special fold card because of the colour scheme and gorgeous papers.

Here's the card when it's closed which highlights the beautiful Tin Tile embossing.

Gilded Autumn Twisted Easel card

I love using Designer Series Papers which have a touch of foil in them.  I couldn't resist the Stampin' Up! Gilded Autumn Designer Series Paper with its beautiful foiled elements and made this twisted easel birthday card using two of the designs in this paper pack.

One of the things I don't usually like about Twisted Easel cards is the prominent diagonal scoreline on the front of the card.  So I decided to cover it up by using one of the floral border dies from the Ornate Borders die set.

Here's how it looks closed with the floral border largely covering the scoreline.

The sentiments stamped in Mint Macaron ink are from the Stampin' Up! Best Years stamp set.

If you'd like to learn how to make this style of card, please contact me as various online classes are available to Australian residents to complete at their leisure.  I'll return to in person classes sometime in the future once the COVID-19 pandemic allows us to safely gather and craft with shared supplies again.
