Welcome to my blog my crafty friends! Today I have a Twisted Easel Card sporting Christmas Cactus and Gathering Basket from Susan's Garden Club with Spellbinders new Christmas Release. Starting with 6" X 12" white cardstock scored at 6" giving you a 6 X 6 card.  Next you want to score front of card base from lower left corner to upper right corner (you can draw a light pencil line from corner to corner as a guide then erase once scored).  See picture below. Next cut patterned paper 5-3/4" square adhere to card front using Clear Double Sided Adhesive .  Make sure to flatten out card front before adhering patterned paper.  Once adhered go over score line again from back side.  Fold on score line and burnish. My Spellbinders die set is an old one called Labels One but I have linked Classic Labels either one will work.  Using white cardstock cut the largest label then next size down in pattern paper attach to larger Label using Clear Double sided Adhesive.
