Candy Cane Easel Card

Here is one of the cards made at our Cozy Craft Retreat last weekend.  We had so much fun crafting and spending time together.  Thank you Lorri for our fun Annual Retreat!


This card base uses a full 8 ½” x 11” piece of Real Red cardstock.

 Card Base:

The Real Red card base score and cut lines are shown in the diagram on the side.  The areas with the Blue X’s are cut off – SAVE THE SCRAPS.  Fold on score lines as shown in completed card.



  • Cut (2) 5 ¼” x 1 7/8” strips from Sweetest Christmas DSP and adhere to panels on the front of the card.  Cut (2) more strips of a different DSP (or use the same as I did in my card).
  • Wrap around card and adhere ends on front side of card.  Do not make this too tight or it will be hard to slip on and off.
  • Red panel – 3 ¼” x 4 ¼” – Center and attach to front of belly band covering the seam.
  • White panel – 3” x 4” – attach to Red Panel
  • Stamp (2) candy canes using Real Red ink onto white scraps, die cut and place onto white panel on the belly band.  DO NOT ATTACH so you can stamp sentiment FIRST using Real Red ink, then attach using Stampin’ Dimensionals.
  • Stamp (2) mistletoe pieces using Garden Green ink onto white scraps, die cut and adhere to candy canes as shown.
  • Tie a bow using Real Red Ribbon and adhere to candy canes with a glue dot.

Easel inside –

3 7/8” x 5 ¼” Real Red

3 5/8” x 4 7/8” Basic White



  • Stamp sentiment onto Basic White using Real Red and Mistletoe stamp using Garden Green.  Attach white panel to red panel.
  • Attach both to the BOTTOM half of the center folded Real Red.
  • Using one of the red scraps from the card base, stamp sentiment using VersaMark and heat emboss with white embossing powder.
  • Die cut using Labels Aglow die
  • Adhere label with Dimensionals to inside bottom of card as shown.  Bottom edge of die cut should be about ½” from the bottom edge of the card.
  • The tag at the bottom is what will hold the easel card propped up as shown in photos.





This card was really easy and I love how fun it is!

Cozy Craft Retreat - 2020 Version

Since 2020 has been such a crazy year that there's no doubt that the Annual Cozy Craft Retreat that my upline puts on had to make some changes as well.  So this year, she (and her elves) put together a Retreat-in-a-Box instead.    I have been having so much fun working on the projects, but not near as much fun doing them alone!  Ugh.

So, I'll be sharing some images of the projects with you over the next few days and weeks.  I won't be giving the full details as I would with my own projects since that would be unfair to Lorri, but I will tell you what products are used and if you would like to purchase her tutorial, she will have it on her blog and for sale there at Confessions of a Stamping Addict under Classes to Go.

Here's one for Christmas.  I just love this border die with the candy canes.



This mesh ribbon is awesome as well.  Great for Christmas, great for Halloween, maybe an Anniversary or Wedding card.  So many options!




Thank you for looking in today.  Happy Monday!  Be sure to come back for more of Lorri's projects.  You won't be disappointed!
