An easel card is one of those delightful designs that feels special the moment it\u2019s opened. Instead of lying flat like a traditional card, it\u2019s built to stand upright \u2014 just like a tiny tabletop easel. That means the recipient can display it on a mantel, shelf, or desk and enjoy it long after the celebration. This makes easel cards perfect for weddings, birthdays, milestone moments, or anytime you want your handmade card to become part of someone\u2019s space.<\/span><\/p>\n

Today I\u2019m sharing an alternate project using the <\/span>June 2026 Paper Pumpkin kit: <\/b>Bikes & Blooms<\/i><\/b>. During my live class, I\u2019ll walk you through the full assembly, but I wanted to give you the measurements, supplies, and design notes here so you can recreate it easily \u2014 or adapt it using your own stash.<\/span><\/p>\n

This alternate card uses the bicycle elements from the kit along with a few simple cuts to create a clean, cheerful easel-style display. The layered greens and yellows give the card a fresh summer feel, and the \u201cBest Wishes\u201d sentiment makes it versatile for many occasions.<\/span><\/p>\n

                  \n
                • The easel mechanism works by creating a \u201cstopper\u201d inside the card \u2014 your sentiment strip is perfect for this.<\/span><\/li>\n
                • Layering the two green pieces adds depth and gives the bicycle a natural \u201cscene\u201d to sit in.<\/span><\/li>\n
                • If you want more dimension, pop the bicycle up on foam dots and tuck stamped or die-cut flowers behind the basket.<\/span><\/li>\n
                • The yellow panel can be full or half-sized depending on how much color you want showing behind the easel front.<\/span><\/li>\n
                • This design works beautifully with the kit colors, but it\u2019s also stash-friendly \u2014 swap in any coordinating DSP or cardstock you already have.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
