Double Twist Easel Card 5-12-12

Double Twist Easel CardThis card folds flat, but has 2 panels that can be tipped up and propped open.  It needs an image that without a definite top so the bottom image looks OK upside down, but it looks great sitting on display.

The die, punch, and card stock used on this card have been retired.  {sniff}  I don’t usually hang on to retired products, but I still have my Pillow Box Die and a small stash of Glossy card stock.

If you don’t have the die, it’s not impossible to make the box.  It just takes a bit more work. The Medallion stamp has been retired too, but you could substitute Daydream Medallions.  The Pillow Box goes together quickly.

Yep.  You read that right.  Regular heavy-duty household aluminum, glued to card stock for strength, and run through the Big Shot in an embossing folder.  We did the flip flop by getting fancy with the cutting plates on the Big Shot.  Sounds harder than it really was.  Try it!

I saw this card at a regional convention and had to try it.  Score across the Scallop Square at matching scallops, a couple of snips and a bit of tape and you have a cute little box.  Then of course we made the mini cards to go inside.  The Diagonal Plate on the Simply Scored made it easy to make the matching envelopes.  Great for a hostess gift.

A few folds in an 8 1/2″ x 11″ sheet of paper and one cut gives you 2 diagonal pockets that can open for an inside greeting too. We embellished a card for the back pocket and put a gift card in the front one.  Add a bit of embellishment and you’re done!
