Twin Twisted Easel Card Tutorial

Hi Everyone looking in,

This is my first Picture Tutorial
As the First Holy Communion seasons starts soon, I thought I would do a Split Double Easel card
Marie from the club brought a template for this card to my class last week, and I managed to see it demonstrated on Create and Craft on Thursday, so here is my version I hope you enjoy it, any questions please email me



1. Cut a Sheet of A4 Card to 20cm by 20cm

2. Score the Card in Half, and fold
3. Cut the top section in half, giving you 2 equal squares 10cm by 10cm




4. Using your score board, Start at the right hand top corner of the right side and score down to the bottom left hand corner. giving you a diagonal score line.




5. Repeat this, but in the opposite direction, on the left hand side of the easel.



6. Fold both score lines, and give them a nice tight crease with your bone folder.
7. Stick double sides tape on both of the inside triangles.


8. Cut 2 Panels 10cm by 10 cm



8B. And stick to the Triangles


9. Now Start to decorate the easels

I cut 2 silver Squares 9 1/2 cm by 9 1/2 cm and 2 Gingham Squares 8 1/2 cm by 8 1/2 cm
and layered them up.

9 B. I Cut a Silver panel 20cm by 10cm and a Patterned Paper 19 1/2 cm by 9 1/2 cm and Stuck these to the floor of the easel.




I then made an easel rest, by sticking 2 silver strips back to back, (to make the easel stronger) Punched a Strip of white card, and added a strip of gingham, I finished it off with peel-offs, and raised it on foam pads, sticking it about a 1/2 cm from the bottom of the card to form the rest.




I cut out an oval first holy communion image, and using a deckle scissors I matted and layered it on to pink and then silver card. and stuck it to the left easel raised on foam pads

I then typed out (Especially for you on your First Holy Communion Day), and mounted it on pink and silver card, using my deckle scissors to match the image, I stuck a lovely little chalice (which I got from An Siopi Bui) to the side of the words, and Lastly Decorated the Easel Rest with some die-cuts to act as the rests, added some pretty punched leaves and lovely Roses from (Wild Orchid Crafts)
You can make a greeting to sit on the floor of this card.
This is my completed design
I hope you enjoy it.

Box measurements for this card
Because the card is quiet high when closed. (because of the flowers) you will need to make a box for it
1. Take a A4 sheet of card and score it on the 3rd line of the box maker side of a crafters companion score board, on all 4 sides, do this for the lid and base, you can cut a window in the lid and add some acetate to view the card in the box.
