Easel Cards!!!!!!!

This is such a beautiful way to display a card. I got this technique offline and just fell in love the way that it presents your art so that people can enjoy the card long after they have received it for their particular occasion. What a great way to give them a double blessing. This is so easy to make and it enables you to have NO extra cost when sending the cards. Because the card IS the easel. Great for putting a flame-less candle behind if you use vellum. It will shine behind your image. Super adorable. I made one for my husband for Valentine's Day and one for my mother in law for Valentine's Day. They are still on display and it is April! Just imagine Christmas cards with scenery and you can keep them up all December!! Here are two examples of ones I created!

Stamped and Hand Drawn!

These are some more recent creations. I am using more stamping, and items that I have drawn onto cards myself. These were created after meeting someone who introduced me to a whole new side of card-making. I have since gotten a cuttlebug and use it for lots of things. I do sell these cards if anyone is ever interested in purchasing them.

Some of the FIRST styles!!

This is a small selection of some of the cards I have created to date. Since then I have expanded my techniques and will be uploading some of those new creations shortly. I just wanted to show some of the types I have come up with.

I never took classes and learned these techniques from other card-makers. These were all original to my own idea of paper placement and embellishments. I didn't look up ways on youtube or any other sites. Since creating these and a few more I haven't posted yet, I have looked up more ways to create things by utilizing these sites. I look at them to get a new general idea of stamping techniques or whatnot....but I still use my own creativity to generate my greeting cards.
