Another Swing Easel - or Easel Flip - Card

Just clearing away from my classes this week and found a half completed demo card and decorative piece...

So in the true Yorkshire spirit of not letting anything go to waste! 

A couple of different and simpler variants of the Swing Easel card for you... or is it an Easel Flip card? 

I think I have called it both so far... though it is "Swing Easel Card" that is now stuck in my memory cells.... 

To me it does swing rather than flip... though that gives me another idea!!!

My tutorial posted last Friday is already proving popular and delighted to hear that quite a few of you have been making one for yourself (or a friend!) this weekend. 

Can't wait to see some of your versions....

I said a couple of variants... as there is in these photos...although really they are the same card!!

The only difference being the paper added to the base section - so which do you prefer???

With or without? I rather like the without.... but that may be my old dislike of butterflies coming through...

And spot my gold "Thanks"...well more on that tomorrow in my Tuesday Tips, Techniques & Tutorials post..... loving my Wooden Expressions Natural Elements!

Swing Easel Card - Timeless Elegance & Watercolor Wings

Whilst pinning away on my favourite inspiration site (yes - Pinterest ) the other day... I came across an interesting looking fold... followed the link (to the Trimcraft site & their Card of the Month for July)... and had a go! Rather like the end result!

There is a template on that link but I quickly converted to a cut & score card... but more on that another day... I feel a tweak or two coming on to what I did over the next couple of weeks... but ...in the meantime... I had to share the original version....

But before I forget...here are this week's WeeklyDeals... Live till next Tuesday. Click on the picture for more details...

So back to the card... It is a bit of 3 in 1 card.... here it is closed....

Opening up... 

Fully open and standing on its easel...

Gosh I am late posting today..... but I just had to finish and share with you.... hence lots of shadow in the pictures!!

Loving lots of things I have used here... adore the Timeless Elegance papers and I am still loving all those butterflies!

And the Expressions Natural Elements used for the world "celebrate" are fabulous - so quick & easy to use - and a Tuesday Tip for you before I go - just colour them with your daubers, sponge or Aquapainter - or even an ink pad direct like I did! ( too lazy to go upstairs for my Early Espresso dauber...) Though I did have to rub off lots of ink on scrap paper for quite a while before putting it on my card....
