Halloween Flying Easel

 

Just a quick post today!  I have been working on a Halloween card for my Grandson.  I love Karen iston's idea for the Flying Easel card!  I used the Sizzix die for the ghosts, skeleton and bats  The frame is from Spellbinders.  I believe the paper is from K & K Company.  I had to put the sentiment on the bottom of the card since the back has been mostly cut away.   Here is a tutorial that Karen shared on her blog.

 I love how the ghosts seems to float above the card!  I can't believe we are already looking at the end of October.  I took a walk the other day and took a few pictures of the color around the condos. It was beautiful!

 The tree below was soooo beautiful when it first turned orange!  The leaves are dropping now but it is still gorgeous!

Wedding Flying Easel Card

 I love this die from Cheery Lynn Designs!  I use it for Weddings and Anniversaries!  My sister and her husband are celebrating their 8th Anniversary today!  This card is a perfect card to say, "Congratulations"!    The Flying Easel card is easy to make!  I was inspired by Karen Burniston's Halloween card that I saw on Pinterest. I cut a square out just big enough to let this die fit into-You use 2 dies ...one for the back and one for the front.  It was a little challenging to glue the outside of the dies  together.  On the inside of the die, I only glued the heads of the Bride and Groom together.   The bow is made from a MFT ribbon die.  The "Congrats" die is from Spellbinders.  I also added a little gem covered  tulle-like fabric to the bride's dress.  See below for more pictures....

 I used a different decorative paper on the back of the card.   I also added a little bling to the die cut along with some pearls.

Flying Easel Card

 

Our daughter, Emily, has a birthday coming up soon!  I have been working on her card and was inspired by the Flying Easel Cards I have seen on Pinterest.  I love how you can hang something from the inside of any die that you use on the Easel Card.  I hung a Rosette from this one.  It can fold up and be mailed in an envelope, too!    I think this will be the first of a few of these type cards that I will make!  Hope Emily will like it!
