Christmas eisel card

Next, cut a strip of card, cover it with a complimentary paper (if you wish) and, using 3D pads, stick it below the mark that you just made. The edge of the "tent" shape should then rest against the strip.

Finish off by sticking the bottom half of the topper to the lower section of the "tent" shape only. Lift the card up at the front to allow it to close, and that's it!

Not long before Christmas now! Hope you've managed to get all of your cards finished...I've just done the last of mine!

Until next time,

Happy crafting,

Roses Christmas card

As Christmas gets ever nearer, I like to make a special card for my granddaughter, and here it is.

Its a pyramid design of a Santa holding a fairy in his hand and its really sweet! Once I had made up and mounted the picture I turned it into an eisel card. I love eisel cards because they are so versatile. Simply make up a topper (decoupage, stamping, paper-folding etc) Take a strip of card which measures the same width as the topper and twice as long and fold it in half. Fold the top piece in half again to form a "tent" shape with a flat base. Allow it to find its natural resting position on the base and mark where it lays.
