This is my first ever easel card. I thought they looked fun but had never gotten around to it. Today I was making cards and thought I'd better make some Mother's Day cards as it is creaping up on me really quick. I found a couple of tutorials on how to make these. This one was done using a 4 1/4 by 8 1/2 inch piece of paper and then adding a second 4 1/4 x 4 1/4 square to it. I found the tutorial at Splitcoaststampers and thought it was really easy. These are so easy that you don't need any cricut cuts at all. Just a trimmer. How fun is that! Then you just decorate as you please. My Mom's favorite color is blue hence the blue card. I'm off to try a few more of these my Mother-in Law and my Grandmas. (Some how I'm a little out of order..... this was my first ever easel card but the others got posted before it..... oops...)
