Easel Card Challenge

Happy Monday! It's time for another technique challenge here at Made Especially For You! We've tried out a lot of different past techniques these past few months and this week we're trying out a technique we haven't had as a specific challenge yet - easel cards! The challenge is to create an easel card. Anything goes as long as your card is an easel card.


I love easel cards because they're a fun twist on your standard rectangular/square card. They're super easy to make and are a great way to give some dimension to your cards! I created this cute and simple easel card using my Cricut, (with the Elegant Edges and Stretch Your Imagination cartridges) my Cuttlebug, (with the D'vine Swirl and polka dot embossing folder) and patterned paper from Recollections along with some ribbon from my stash.





Our sponsor this week is the wonderful Paper Piecings by Nikki! One lucky, randomly winner will receive a $15 gift certificate to her store!

Stop by the Weekly Challenge page to submit your easel card to this weeks' challenge and see what inspiration the design team has for you this week!

    Clicking on the words 'Stop by the Weekly Challenge' still gives an error. I clicked on the Weekly Challenge Tab at top of your blog and that works.

    Now the link works. I have told some others about the challenge that I've seen an Easel Card of so they may head this way to enter. I've been making tags today and will see if I can squeeze in an Easel card.
