How to Easel Cards and A Halloween Twisted Easel Card with Petaloo

Hello My dear friends:

**First the project...**

A Halloween Twisted Easel card...
fun shape to display the gorgeous "Petaloo" Flowers paired with some die cuts....

I die cut the "midnight witches brew" frame into a patterned paper, secure it to the rectangular front panel and embellished with black cotton paper flowers and "Kraft" burlap flowers and butterflies  from "Petaloo"

NOTE:
On the folded card, the front panel was cut into a square shape from where the front rectangular panel will be adhered.
I made some loops with the burlap cord/trim...and overlap the flowers...

101 on how to make ANY EASEL CARD

Easel card cards are very easy to make...once you master the main folds....
General rule:
1- from a  folded card, (any shape: rectangular, square, circle, octagon etc...)
2- Fold in half the front panel of the card (to make a support: the easel) 
3- into which a separate front panel (of the same shaped used for the base) will be affix...

To make ANY "shaped" folded card ...
Fold you paper and place underneath a "desired shaped " die onto the cutting machine.
Cut below the top of the die to make hinge...see photo

Below  are some samples of a heart, a pinking edge circle, an octagon shaped folded cards, cut following the same process as above...

Fold in half the font panel
Note: if you desired a "twisted" easel, make that fold in a diagonal direction

affix a separate single shape to this "easel"...of the same shape as you main card....

In today's case, I wanted a "rectangular" front and base card...
 (usually these type of cards are square)....

For this,  The base/front panel NEEDS to be cut in a "square"
then folded diagonally to place the rectangular front panel in a diagonal way and make a rectangular "Twisted Easel Card"....

Note: You can make a "square" folded base and attach the rectangular panel to this square...
you will have then a 'square' base with a rectangular front panel...
in my case I wanted BOTH base and front panels to be "rectangular"

folded to send flat
