I’ve been playing around with ideas for my 2012 Christmas cards. Do I want to complete a Triple Time card? Should I wow my friends and family with an Easel Card? How about a Triple Time Easel card?! What are you working on for your cards? Whoa! Not everyone at the same time. Let’s go around the room one by one. Much better. I really like your idea. I think it will be beautiful!
I’m cheating a little bit today by sharing with you the picture from my Christmas card from a few years ago. I have mounted this picture of Bandit, my sweet kitty, on a Real Red Easel, bordered with Whisper White and Lucky Limeade:
I’m obviously not sending this picture again this year, but I wish I’d thought of it the year I just slapped it on a piece of 4-1/4″ x 11″ card stock, folded in half. This would have been so much cooler, don’t you think?

Aw! Why are we just learning about this kitty Bandit? Hey kitty! Your blog readers love kitties just wait and see how this post goes viral! Bandit looks Pur-fect on the easel card!
Bandit is a cutey! What an excellent idea for a Christmas card–I think I’ll do the easel thingey…now to choose between 100 papers and 50 possible stamps….Can’t wait to see what you come up with! –Terri
Okay…when I said to display your card on an easel I didn`t mean you had to go and make your own. If You do easel stamp-a-stack are you going to throw in a picture of that absolutely adorable Bandit? Are you running for office or something …you know what I mean..pets and children get dragged out by the politicians … you know Patti was right …now you`ve done it …love the card …after you sell a few that precious kitty will probably have to go back to Rent-A-Pet….
Ba ha ha ha! Rent a Pet! {she’s good!}
SENOR PANTALONES! And Bandito makes his blogging debut… Bravo, Bandito. Bravo. Never looked better than atop Lucky Limeade…
Thanks for the easel card. I love making them. A few weeks ago, I saw a pin on Pinterest for directions on opening and setting up an easel card — a short statement to be included with the card.
Great card, your kitty is gorgeous. And he has my dogs name. My Bandit is awesome and I bet yours is too. Thanks for sharing!
Hey Bandit! You know how much I love this picture and it is perfect on the easel card.
I still have Bandits Christmas card from a few years ago. He is so photogenic! I love the easel idea.
Great idea…..cute kitty too….:)
I love those easel cards and you gave me a great idea for making a special card for the grandparents – I could use my boys’ school pictures instead of the cat! Although I might make a cat one for myself. We also have a cat named Bandit.
I think that the triple card that you did yesterday would be just awesome as an easel card then that way you could put the sentiment on the bottom and not overcrowd the images..you see what I think about in the grocery store! I really do like this card and the kitty baby is beautiful..I love cats !!! I just wanted you to know this is a winner. What next ????
Absolutely adorable! Bandit just totally takes the cake in triple-time easel cards!! Mewbers!!! I love speaking cat!! ;D
The easel card is beautiful, Brian! Love your color choices! But, Bandit’s the hands-down winner here! What a cutie!!! And, I too am wondering, why are we’re just now learning of sweet Bandit? Tell us (and show us) more about cutie pie Bandit!
so awesome!
Wonderful card – great colors matching the background for Bandit! Any of your ideas are great and thank you for sharing the video….I have yet to try this type of card and maybe now I will with your guidance! I have chosen to purchase the new bundle with the ornaments and will do my own version of a card that I made at my upline’s….hate to think this is coming sooo fast, but then it is Fall…or is it – weather where I live (CA) isn’t cooperating yet..oh well, it will soon enough! Thanks again!
Sweet card Brian, we have 2 cats and 4 dogs. Our oldest cat will be 20 on Feb 14, 2013. She adopted us in August of 1993. I like your cards, Tips and everyones responses.
