This month Suzanne Dean challenged all the members of the Magnolia-licious Design Team to make an easel card. It took me a little bit to get my mind around the idea, but I put one together and I actually like the whole easel thing :D. I used #362 – Berry Tilda and Sentiment #703 – Just Sitting Here. If you’re interested in seeing how it is put together, here’s a link to the template and to the instructions. I scaled the size of my card up to be 6" x 6" but you could very well stay with the 4" x 4" size.
This is the secondary panel that props up the main panel – when the card is collapsed and opened as a regular card, this is the panel you would see. I pulled coordinating papers from My Minds Eye – Pretty Posies and colored Tilda with Copic Markers. I have her perched on a Spellbinders Eyelets Pendant and the sentiment sits on a Spellbinders Fancy Tag. I used real lace for the scalloped borders and this exquisite ribbon is May Arts Lace Ribbon.
During the month you can check out other easel cards posted by the design team at the Magnolia-licious Highlites Blog. Better yet, upload your own! All of the details are on the Magnolia-licious Highlites Blog, basically you have all month to prepare your creation, then upload in the comments section. For your hard work, you have an opportunity to win a stamp of your choice from Magnolia-licious.

Becca this is just stunning.I was shocked that you don’t have extra cards for sending to friends.I guess I always think everyone has an abundant stash when they make cards.I have started sending out to Operation write home just so I have a reason to make more. As always thanks for the inspiration.
Becca I looked at all the cards every day just didn`t have time to jot down a note. But as usual all of these cards are beautiful.I have been having some family issues but everyday when I look at your cards. I say and this too shall pass. Thanks again from one of your many followers.
I love this simple yet elegant card, Becca! Your cards are always so intriguing & fun to look at. Thanks for always sharing!

Becca, your card is adorable! I love anything with dots, too. I’m always amazed at your inspiration with your cards. Do you have to send all your samples to different companies you work for or can you send those cards out to your friends? Have a good week-end, too.

I’m guilty of making and not sending too Becca!! I have such a HUGE stash of cards, it’s sad!
This card of yours is simply charming! Your package is gorgeous pieced as it is, and I love the white base with the large red bow!
Becca – This card is gorgeous and what you call ‘simple’ is anything but to me. I wish I could produce such ‘simple’ cards!!
Have a good weekend and don’t overdo the chores.

I love your cards, Becca. Haven’t been here for a while but I love this card – you pay such attention to detail. I aspire to make such beautiful cards.
Pretty BIRTHDAY CARD Becca.
The clothes pin was so pretty, can’t wait to try one. I really love the talent you have and the fun on your birthday. What punch did you use for the border? I love it. Keep the talent coming.
Becca, What a fun card. The way you trimmed the box to match with those darling polka dots is so clever. As usual a wonderful job!
Beautiful Becca.
Becca,
Very pretty, I like the top scalloped valance. and as usual the rest of the card is fabulous too.
Hugs,

Becca it doesn’t matter if you do simple or elaborate… they’re all beautiful!!!
The composition is superb. The attention to detail in your work is jaw dropping. Dots seem to be a winner no matter how they are used. I think we all strive to craft just like you Becca. TFS!!! It certainly does my soul good to visit here everyday.
GORGEOUS Becca!!! Love the colours, layering of spellbinders and beautiful bow!! I just bought that Flourishes set — thanks so much for the inspiration!!!
Becca, This is such a pretty card. How did you cut the butterfly scallop without the butterfly details? I love your cards and check your blog every day.
