Did you play along with my Mystery Monday Stampin’? If you followed the clues you would have created a Reverse Easel Card similar to these.
Mystery Solved!

The Reverse Easel Card is, essentially, the same as the regular Easel Card, except that the 2-3/4″ score line is folded in the opposite direction (like a Z fold card). This small change makes the card base look taller and more elongated. It is a unique way to display a card! Here’s a closer look at each of today’s cards.

This card features the Peaceful Garden Designer Series Paper and several stamp sets. If you look closely you will see a sneak peek at a new Online Exclusive (available in November), the Banner Sayings Bundle. This was a “must have” bundle for me as I love a versatile sentiment set & punches for quick & easy creating! Here’s a look at the bundle (as well as the new stamp packaging).

Add fun stamped banners to your cards and scrapbook pages with the Banner Sayings Bundle! It includes stamps with sentiments for nearly every occasion—congrats, thanks, thinking of you, and more—and a coordinating punch to cut them out quickly.

I used this set to stamp and punch my sentiment for the easel “stopper”. Just pop it up on Stampin’ Dimensionals and your focal panel stays put! Here’s a side view of this card.

My focal piece was created using the Beautiful Motifs Dies.

The Beautiful Motifs Dies include two decorative motif designs and three greenery shapes. Turn the motifs into corner details on your cards or scrapbook pages or use them as a key layering element.

The die I used partially cuts the leaves. I used a sponge dauber and lightly sponged the edges in Misty Moonlight Ink to highlight it better. Then I added some little flowers cut from the Impressions Abloom Dies.

Since the Reverse Easel Card can stand up on its own and be displayed, you can put the personal message area on the back of the card between the 2-3/4″ score line and the 5-1/2″ score line to keep your personal message more private. This (optional) piece measures 2 1/2 x 4.

This card fold flat to fit in the envelope.

I had so much fun creating my second card for today!

I have been working on making cards to send for Thanksgiving. I am blessed with wonderful friends and during this “season of thanks” I love to send a card to let them know how much I appreciate their friendship. I combined sentiments from several stamp sets for this card. I love the sentiment from Perfectly Pears I used on the front of this card. When you open the card I added a sentiment from Amber Autumn. (Another favorite!)
Then on the back where I’ll sign the card I used a sentiment from Words for The Season.

Words For The Season Bundle is right up there with my top favorites! I love versatile stamps sets as well as word dies and this bundle has both!!! Plus it comes with a banner die you can use with many different sentiments!

Create the perfect holiday greeting with the Words for the Season Bundle! This combination of festive sentiment stamps and versatile word dies lets you craft phrases for Christmas, New Year’s, Halloween, autumn, and more in a gorgeous script font. Mix, match, and layer for personalized cards, scrapbooks, and home decor.

You probably noticed I went a little “rogue” with my “stopper”/sentiment for this card. When I was creating this card I didn’t want the sentiment to be flat. I always love a challenge and I played around and came up with a really simple way to make it stand up and not cover the focal panel.

I cut a 3 x 3 piece of cardstock and scored it @ 1 1/4. My sentiment is stamped on a piece of 2 3/4 x 1 and adhered above the score line. I added this to the card front with Stampin’ Seal. Then I cut a 3 x 1/2 piece of cardstock & DSP, adhered them together, and adhered it to the card base with Stampin’ Dimensionals. The sentiment folds flat and meets the “stopper” to mail. It pops up when you open the card.

I love how this “stopper” turned out! I’ve never seen anything like it before so I guess I get to name it. I’m not sure what I should call this? It’s more than a reverse easel card. I’m thinking double panel reverse easel???? What do you think? I’d love to hear your thoughts! Leave a comment below.
