How to Create a Double Twisted Easel Card – Choose Happy – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demo – Lincoln UK.

If you love creating interactive cards that truly wow the recipient, this Double Twisted Easel Card is a must-try! It folds flat for posting but opens into a beautifully dimensional display piece — and today’s version is packed with colour, charm and the sweetest Easter detail.

This design features the vibrant Homemade Sweetness DSP paired with the adorable images from the Choose Happy stamp set. I’ve created two colour variations — one in Misty Moonlight and one in Granny Apple Green — and both showcase a gorgeous pop-up rabbit in the centre of the card.

What Makes a Double Twisted Easel Card So Special?

The Double Twisted Easel Card is a fun fold that instantly adds drama and dimension. When opened, the two angled panels twist outward to form easels, creating height and interest. Decorative stoppers hold the panels in place so the card stands beautifully for display.

It’s one of those card designs that looks complicated but is surprisingly achievable once you’ve made one!

Featuring the Homemade Sweetness DSP

The Homemade Sweetness DSP is full of bright, fruity patterns — strawberries, blueberries, cherries and citrus slices — which bring such a cheerful and fresh feel to this project.

The triangular panels on the front of the card are the perfect way to highlight patterned paper. Because of the twisted design, you get to showcase multiple sections of DSP, making this fold ideal for papers you don’t want to hide!

The fruit design pairs beautifully with both colour variations and gives the card a playful, uplifting look.

Misty Moonlight Version – A Soft, Elegant Easter Feel

The first version uses Misty Moonlight for the base and the rear twisted panels. The deep blue floral pattern at the back adds contrast while keeping the design balanced and elegant.

When the card is opened, the little rabbit from the Choose Happy stamp set pops up in the centre with a “Happy Easter” greeting. The soft blue tones give this version a slightly more classic feel, perfect for sending thoughtful Easter wishes.

Granny Apple Green Version – Fresh and Fun

The second version features Granny Apple Green as the base. This colour works beautifully with the fruit-themed DSP and adds a vibrant, springtime freshness.

A coordinating belly band wraps around the card front, finished with an oval focal piece featuring jam jars and sweet imagery from the Choose Happy stamp set. When opened, the same adorable rabbit pops up in the centre, creating that lovely surprise element.

This version feels bright, cheerful and full of energy — perfect for celebrating Easter or simply sharing a happy handmade moment.

The Pop-Up Centrepiece

The real showstopper of this Double Twisted Easel Card is the pop-up rabbit in the centre. Positioned perfectly between the two twisted panels, it becomes the focal point as soon as the card is opened.

Adding dimension here enhances the interactive element and really brings the design to life. It transforms the card from beautiful to unforgettable.
