Had a lot of fun with these easel cards for Be Virtuous stamp set.  For my first basic easel I combined an easel card with a shaker card!  so for this card you get two for one!  just felt I had to cut out the bamboo then had all that open space so what do you do with open space ..... add a piece of acetate and create a shaker!  My second card is a new way to do a triple easel card. In the past here you can see another type of triple easel card. This new way is so easy using Spellbinders Nestabilities it's just one, two three you are done.
 
Oh yes, did I mention the theme for this month is easel cards!  regular easels, twisted easels, shape easels and more! Next stop is Janine so please see what she has to show you.

Beautiful easel cards again today! Gorgeous colors! I need to remember that the silhouette stamps don't need to be just stamped in black. The red looks terrific!

SHartl said...

I love how you used red to stamp the leaves. It gives a modern look and a great change from green!

Winnie and Patty said...

Sue--both of these cards are beautiful! However, the triple easel card is my favorite. I've never seen one like that. Great job! TFS

Janine said...

Great cards - I like that shaker and those leaves in red. Can you do a tutorial on that version of the triple easel, please?

Fabulous cards.

Jane said...

Two more of your beautiful easel cards!!! Well done.

Ravengirl said...

Wow, these turned out really well. I especially love the shaker easel with all your detailed cutting on the bamboo image.

Lois said...

I like the 3-D effect of your first card -- the shaker easel. Very clever. And I've been thinking about doing one of those triple easel cards. You may have spurred me on with your second card.

I love, love, love your shaker easel card. The design is fantastic and the colours are just gorgeous.

the shaker easel was a spur of the moment happening when I cut out the image. yes, go for it...triple easels are a wow factor card and with all the nestabilities out there it's a snap.
