This Creative Stamper’s Blog Post features a Reverse Easel Autumnal Card to fit the theme of Fall/Halloween. I am always more drawn towards autumnal projects than Halloween ones and the colours in this Beauty of the Earth Designer series paper are just perfect for these cards.
Each month, the team that brings you the Creative Stampers Tutorial Bundle also brings you these blog posts to give you a flavour of this month’s projects. We can’t show you the tutorial projects, because those are exclusive to those who earn or buy the bundle. However, I can give you a sneak peek of mine.
My Reverse Easel Autumnal Card
I decided to have a play with a Fancy Fold for my project. I have seen these Reverse Easel Cards popping up quite regularly, so thought I would have a go.

Instructions
- Fold the card along the score line, then fold the front piece back on itself and burnish with a bone folder to form the reverse easel shape
- Stick the Designer Series Paper for the base and the top easel section to the respective Soft Suede mats and stick to the card base.
- Die cut two stitched rectangles for the front panel from the Soft Suede and Misty Moonlight cardstock and die cut a tree from Soft Suede cardstock. Stick the two panels together and then stick the tree to the front.
- Taking oddments of Misty Moonlight, Cinnamon Cider and Merry Merlot, die cut 18 hearts from each colour using the strip of 6 hearts die from the Floral Heart dies. Stick these hearts to the tree trunk, adding 2 of each colour at the bottom of the tree and falling from the tree.
- Add dimensionals to the top back of this panel and line up on the card base and stick in place.
- Stamp the greeting onto a piece of Basic White card and mat onto a piece of Misty Moonlight cardstock. Add a swirl of Early Espresso Faux Suede trim across the back and then stick to the card base with dimensionals, positioned to act as the stopper for the easel.
- Stick the strip of DSP to the Basic White card for the back and stick in place so you have somewhere to write your greeting.
