Easel Cards and Using Die-Cuts ~

I'm a believer in not reinventing the wheel, especially when I want to give something handmade to multiple people.

  

That's where store-bought die-cuts come in handy! 

After making an easel card for Treasured Times Stamps and Scrapbooking  I had an itch to make more of them - three more to be exact! They are fun to do and yield pretty results. 

I used my Sizzix Weathered Clock die to cut out cardstock clocks for the front of the cards and used floral die cuts from K & Company to complete the look. You can find the K & Company sets at Michael's, JoAnn's, Hobby Lobby, Archiver's or online.
 

Here is my blue version ~

I used My Minds Eye card stock, Perfect Pearls Mist, glitter, and Distress Ink.

Above is the side view and below is a closer look at the ribbon and eyelets ~

I added tiny yellow blossoms to the front ~

Here is the pink and yellow card. I used Liquid Pearls and Stickles on this one ~

I have another easel card in the wings, and an announcement of a giveaway - I am so happy I reached 200 followers! Love you ladies!
