It’s Sunday…and time to play with The Paper Players! This week is our monthly color challenge. I selected a trio of vibrant fall colors, which I thought were just right for creating a fall wreath and a pumpkin patch in my first easel card ever. Enjoy!
The Stampin’ Schach Design Tips
This finished card measures 5-1/2″ wide by 4-1/4″ long.
- Colors of Autumn! The Wreath image was inked in Hello Honey and stamped onto Naturals Ivory cardstock. The Overlay was inked and stamped twice, first in Mossy Meadow and then in Tangelo Twist. Because Naturals Ivory is so porous, the result is a wonderful rustic look. Of course, doesn’t every wreath deserve Pearls???
- Pumpkins! I created a pumpkin patch using the Pumpkins from the Fall Fest set. Some sport Mossy Meadow leaves, courtesy of the Fun Fall Framelit collection, while all are decked out with a Linen Thread bow.
- Folds flat! The stand-up Pumpkins on either side of the sentiment are attached with paper supports that are scored in order to fold flat when closed. When the card is opened, they can simply be coaxed back into an upright position.

This card will be heading off to Brady so he can set it out as a fall decoration. He hasn’t been back home since the first of August. He is feeling a little under the weather and is a little homesick. Plus, he misses the dogs. Hopefully this will cheer him up.
I have no idea why I waited so long to make an easel card. Is there anyone else out there who has not made one before, or was I the only person? Won’t you let me know in your comment today? Your comments are important to me. Of course, if you have questions about the cards I make or the techniques I use, I am only an email away. Until next time…
This is stunning!
I love this card…. Great job!!! Would love to have the tutorial.

Hi Ann, I don’t know why you waited so long to make an easel card. You’re a natural! What an amazing card! I’ve made a number, but nothing compared to your work of art. You really will have to offer a tutorial for those of us that wish they, too, could have such a wonderful card/table centrepiece.
This is the most beautiful easel card I’ve ever seen! Oh you are so talented Ann!!! Love all your cards.
And fabulous it is – a perfect Anne card design!
What a fabulous fall decoration, Ann! Love the patch of pumpkins and the burlap is the perfect amount of rustic texture. Brady will LOVE it!

Wow! Looks like a lot of work, but it’s beautiful. I haven’t tried to make one of these cards yet.
This card just blows me away. The wreath on the burlap on the wood, and the pumpkins!! I love layered cards and I love special folds, but I too have never made an easel card. Hugs to Brady. Tutorial coming????
Wow, oh wow!!! I have made easel cards before but none as stunning as this. Gorgeous. I’m sure this will lift Brady’s spirits. Hello & hugs to the four-legged family members.
So, so pretty. I wish I had that group right on my front door. You did a great job with you combination of pumpkins and wreath. Love the color choices, and the pearls 🙂
This is an easel card extraordinaire, Ann! All the pumpkins are delightful and the wreath gorgeous. I love making easel cards but have to admit it has been a long time since I have done so. Thanks for the inspiration to try one again!

Wow! So many pretty details on your easel card. You would never know this was your first attempt. I love all the pumpkins and how you used the wreath.
I’m making my first easel card this evening for a challenge. I just watched a couple of videos. Hopefully mine turns out as fantastic as yours.
This is over the top awesome! I have made one or two but nothing like this one!

My kids keep every card I make them, and I really know they are special cards when I make the frig!
Haha…lets see…didn’t I used to hang their stuff on the frig?!!
LOVE! As usual you rocked it! I also have never done an easel card, are you going to do a tutorial? I would love it if you do!

Holy cow this is amazing, Ann! What a wonderful creation. Love all those pumpkins and the beautiful wreath. I can only imagine how long it took you to put this all together!
I have made an easel card or two, but nothing this amazing!
Wow, Ann! That is one beautiful card. I’ve never done an easel card, but someday I may try one!
Wow, Ann! That is one beautiful card. I’ve never done an easel card, but someday I may try one!
What a magnificent Easel card Ann, they are really easy to make but sadly, I only have made one, sheeesh!! I think I need to make them more often, specially after seeing yours!!! The rustic feel the Burlap Ribbon adds to the design is perfect and the pearls truly make it elegant too. Thank you so much for sharing.
What a great card! How did you get the small pumpkin in the front? Looks like the pumpkins were embossed. Would love tutorial.
Ann, this is awesome! What a beautiful card for your first easel card! Love the pumpkin patch! I know Brady will love this card, as would anyone! I have made several easel cards but nothing as stunning as this one and I would love to see a tutorial as well!
Wow! This is beautiful! I am sure Brady will love it. Who wouldn’t?
Very cute card. I have never made an easel card. Would love the details on how you did this one. This is the first one I have seen that I’d be interested in making. You did a great job.
I would LOVE a video on this as well! It’s gorgeous, Ann!!
Ann the is card is stunning. I have never done and easel card. A tutorial would be great on this card.
This easel card is beautiful!! I have
never made an easel card either. That’s a hint for a tutorial from you during these busy days ahead of us……TFS!! Thanks for the ornament tutorial also.

If you have a tutorial for this, I would LOVE it. Beautiful card!
P.S. I hope your crew is doing well! My Ms. Lexi sends schnauzer roos to your Boxer pack!
Wow, Ann! Your first easel card is a stunner and will make an incredible decor item. I really love how you created the pumpkin patch as a theme for your card too. After a long slump, I’m starting to get inspired once again so I will have to put on my thinking cap and see how to come up with the horizontal easel card dimensions as I’ve only made vertical easel cards.
Ann, this is beautiful and am sure Brady will welcome it. I have made some of the tri-fold cards but never an easel card. Thanks for sharing and also for sharing the tutorial for the ornamental card which was also beautiful.
Ann this is gorgeous and Brady will love it!!! As I am sure any recipient would especially me!! Hint hint LOL!! I too have never made and easel card or a step card for that matter! Thanks for sharing your wonderful creations with us!!
