Hello My Crafty Blog Friends and Visitors
How is your week going? I have hurt my back which has slowed me down quite a bit. I hope it will be better by the weekend. We are planning to see our daughter to try to get their dog to know us a bit better. So far this week I haven't managed to do much crafting. I am waiting for some dies to come then I will be making a few more bits for John. I must say it was nice seeing my cards on TV at the weekend.
I do like making easel cards. You really do have to be careful who you send them to. I usually stick to other crafters as they know to display them. I cut two of the Firth Park larger dies and I put them together to make a square. Then I threaded ribbon through the loops. I cut the ribbon longer than I needed. Then on the back the ribbon can be glued back on itself to give a neat finish. I used one of the Stencil sentiment dies to cut the word friend into the tag that I used as a stopper.
Here is the card being shown of TV. I paused the programme on the computer and took a screen shot. That is why there is a big circle in the middle.
I might make a card like this for someone special it will be easy to change the sentiment.
Enjoy the rest of the week.
Happy Crafting
Hugs Jackie

Hi Jackie,
I love this wonderful card and your flowers inside that wonderful die used are gorgeous.
Love all the colours used too.
Yes you are right about Easel designs not everyone knows how to display them.
Lots of crafty love. Jenny L.
Lovely card Jackie, you used to be able to get a downloaded image that you could pop in your card to explain how to stand them. I remember a few years ago I sent one to a friend and when I visited it was displayed on it's side..LOL
That's really pretty, Jackie. The flowers look so delicate. Creative Blessings, Tracy x
