Easel card with a twist


I posted a similar card to this a good while back, well before I had so many lovely folk hopping in and out of here. I love making twisted easel cards - especially when they're from a Kanban kit with card patterned on both sides and all the elements co-ordinated - quick and easy:
These are much quicker to make than straight easel cards, as well as only needing one base card instead of one and a half - and speed is the name of the game here right now. I woke up in the early hours thinking of different ways to set up the 'stationery production line'!!

Have a nice day - no need to guess what I'll be doing, but have decided to limit myself to two or three hours flat out on the stationery in one burst. Someone here does need some ironing to be done and an occasional meal :))

    Terrific twisted easel card there Di.

    Good idea to limit yourself to set hours. Get too much otherwise.

    I have only ever done the straight easel cards, but I think I shall have to follow your example and try the twisted ones for a change. Your little birds look so chirpy and happy.

    How lovely! Love the colors and the birds are colored delightfully. I love easel cards as well but this looks so much easier and actually nicer then the usual easel card. Adding this to my ‘must try this’ list.
    I think you are very wise to limit yourself on how much time you spend on the stationery. I can tell you it’ll drive you mad if you don’t.
    Hugs

    Several times I have heard this word... "ironing"... and still have no concept of what it is! *lol*
    If something is creased when it's comes off the line or out of the dryer, then it's up to the wearer to decided how flattened it needs to be ... not I *lol*
    Beautiful card - so sweet!
    Make a stand... more crafting, les ironing.
    Let's face it... housework is something that just eats into craft time really.

    This is the second easel card with a twist that I've seen in the last week. I'm going to need to try this out. It looks like so much fun.
