Merriest Moments Easel Card

Welcome to the Stampin’ Pretty Pals’ Blog Hop!

We really hope that you will be inspired by all the amazing creations the Pals share with you! As you hop from blog to blog, we would love for you to leave a comment. You will find the lineup at the end of my post to help you “hop” along from Pal to Pal.

The Merriest Moments stamp set has great sentiments to use when you want to focus on the sentiment. I used only the stamp set and coordinating Merriest Frames Hybrid to make these cards. This full size easel card is made with traditional Christmas colors- Night of Navy, Real Red and Shaded Spruce. Easel cards are easy to display, but fold flat for mailing in a regular Medium size envelope (A2). I love making fun fold cards and also cards that are bright and happy.

Here’s a video showing how to make this card. I show how to make lots of fun fold cards on my YouTube channel, if you’re interested you can subscribe here.

Here’s the details-

  • Card Base 5-1/2” x 8-1/2” scored 2-1/8” and 4-1/4”
  • Inside- Basic White 3” x 5-1/4”
  • Inside- Strip 1” x 5-1/4” embossed
  • Front- Basic White 4-1/4” x 5-1/2” embossed

This card was made with the nontraditional Christmas colors of Starry Sky, Polished Pink and Parakeet Party. Which do you prefer- traditional or nontraditional? Please leave me a comment and let me know.

Easel cards are fun because they sit up so nicely, that hopefully the recipient will keep and display the card longer. You don’t always need the stamp set to make fun cards. I don’t own the Kindest Gnomes stamp set, but was able to make this card just using the Storybook Gnomes Designer Series Paper (DSP) and fussy cutting out the the different animals and shapes. I’m so glad I get all the DSP in the product shares that I sell with each new catalog, and can make most anything without owning everything. 🙂

The easel rests against the popped up sentiment, bunny and fox. Isn’t this a sweet sentiment for this card? I found it in the Happy Hedgehogs stamp set. You can purchase supplies and see everything I used to make this card at the bottom of this post. The card does fold flat for mailing in our regular Medium size Stampin’ Up envelopes.

Have you ever been to the Iowa State Fair? Among other fun things, a cow is sculpted out of butter every year for the last 100 years. I’m still not super mobile after my ACL surgery, so we waited until the last night of the fair to go see the Anne Wilson concert. Anne is a fairly new Christian artist who had her first single, “My Jesus” hit number one. “Let me tell you about my Jesus” is how I know the song. Anyway, it was fun to have a taste of the fair and get to see Anne’s amazing concert. Some of my favorite fair foods include pork chop on a stick, chocolate shake from the Dairy Barn, and honey lemonade from the Agriculture building. If you ask any Iowan there favorite fair foods, they will have a list ready for you. Do you go to a fair near where you live? I’d love to hear about it.

I love the fall season and look forward every year to hosting my big family Thanksgiving celebration. It’s bigger every other year when all the married cousins and my married kids (Sean & Amy) can be here too. As I prepare for Thanksgiving, I start by figuring out what my Thanksgiving invitation will be. I do send invitations to everyone in the mail every year. I think they look forward to it, at least I hope so. Here’s one of my possibilities for this year. What do you think?
