Creating Card Stands

Creating a card stand is an alternative to adding an insert and makes for a very pretty decoration in it's own right. Here are several different and easy ways for you to get the look that you want no matter what size card you like to make.

Christina and Griff, you are the best of the best, so clear, how are a true expert. Blessing

[@amandajoyr1]

Thanks Christina, I have watched your previous videos and already copied this idea. It 's really useful for horizontal cards that always fall over.

[@CarolWalters1955]

Christina what a Fantastic idea. You deserve an Oscar for your performance to card making. You are one superstar

[@charsbabushka]

Thank you very much for your reply. I did find them on your blog. They are just beautiful. Thank you again.

[@Coupina80]

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! You saved my life today! I precut everything and realized that I want it all in the same page, so people don't have to open the card to see the name of the baby! Thank you again for showing!

[@barbaracabrera207]

LOVE this video! I only make vertical cards, cuz they will stand up! But HAD to make a horizontal card and kids like to display their cards. Oh, NO! What to do???!!! Glad I found this video. Solves all my card needs!!! TFS. Austin TX USA

[@Navietsarstvo]

Hello Christina! I want to say THANK YOU for your wonderful videos! I like them all. But this cars stands inspired me soo much! I like making this type of cards as I'm not good in writing this poems ans sweet things inside the card. It always was a big trouble for me. And now you've just solved the problem. What you do is great! Your blog and website, and this channel are very useful and inspiring. I am a starter in card making and I've learnd a lot with your videos! Thak you sooooo much! Alana.

[@Pheebysmum]

I went searching on google & couldn't find what I wanted - all that time I was subscribed to you & never knew!!! Thank you huni xxx you've saved me from paying out for a Tim Holtz easel die that wasn't half as neat as yours :) Thank you xxxx

[@bluRhonda]

ooOoo! Another Christmas ornament... I can't wait! *grin* I LOVE the other one you made and I will definitely be using that idea for a class this fall. Thank you again for sharing all this with us.

[@frederickabutler6637]

Thank you for the video....Very informative and creative. Great idea!

[@suesmith4681]

Ooh. such a lovely idea. I will definitely include one of these ideas on my cards in future, So clever. I'm sure our relatives will be so happy to have a stand included either in or on our cards. Make life so much easier....Thank you for sharing. I love all your videos. I only have a very few of the spellbinders but my little collection is slowly growing. Your cards look just so amazing. I love it when you show us ways to make things ourselves, like flowers and bows etc. Thanks Sue

[@Hilldy40]

Genius!!! Thanks for sharing, Christina!!

[@shelsalz01]

Another fabulous tutorial. Thank you.

[@ASoulsHeartbeat]

Very nice idea, thanks for sharing all the different ideas. Have you tried running your pieces through a XYRON sticker machine when doing the free-standing stands and putting two together? It might be easier than the wet glue. Patti

[@dianewilliams7866]

Thanks christine. Still going strong in 2021

[@TheClouds22]

Sooooo nice and great idea ,, Relly I'm thinking about this stand .. I love alll what u do and thank u

[@pamelasertich9850]

Thank you so much for this, 11 years later, I have been wanting to make a stand for some of my cards but just couldn't find the right one. I would punch a hole at the top and thread ribbon through it so the receiver could hang it but I never knew if they liked it. So, for the holiday cards, I am making bigger ones and I just hate mounting them on a base. It seems such a waste of paper! Maybe it's just me.

[@ChristinaGriffiths]

The Xyron gives you an instant bond ... whereas the Cosmic Shimmer Glue allows time for a little moving if it's not quite lined up.

[@ChristinaGriffiths]

The website name and the Blog name are at the end of each video and I hope you will visit both of them and maybe join the band of followers on the Blog

[@triciawestcott1980]

[@ChristinaGriffiths]

Always a useful tip when ever you watch and make cards Glad to be of help Cxx

[@edycowan4983]

These are great …thank you

[@callahanianscrapper]

Hi Christina, I love these card stands, what a great idea an alternative to helping the card to stand! But I do have a question for you: I just recently watch some of your older videos on how to get the writing inside with the insert for your cards, so now, do you not put an insert inside your cards? If you do not put the insert in your cards, where do you put your greeting at, or do you even put a greeting? The greeting is usually the last thing I do, do you not add a greeting to finish? TFS

[@Lillian.M.]

WOW, this is an excellent idea Christina, Thank You so much for sharing your idea and time. All your cards are so pretty. That purple die frame, who makes them ?

[@ChristinaGriffiths]

Most of the cards that you can see have been featured on either the Blog or the Website and many of them have the instructions on what to do.

[@RuthStash]

Hi Christina, thank you for the videos, I learn so much. I was a bit confused by the plain card stand, when you glued in the middle insert it looked backwards to the one you had already prepared. I am so new at this that I follow directions exactly. Which way do I glue that middle insert, HELP???

[@charsbabushka]

Thank you very much. What is the name of the die that you used last? I did not catch the manufacture's name, The one that you can set the card onto or glue it on the back. These are some great ideas. I wish I had see this before I broke my neck trying to finf the Tim Holtz easel die. Thank you again.

[@darlin1012]

could u give me the name on this display easel? I have looked everywhere and can't seem to find it, thank u.....I so enjoyed your video Darlene

[@nightangel0515]

Great video - lots of choices - tfs Hugs, Lourdes

[@ChristinaGriffiths]

No I don't add inserts anymore to my cards ... in fact they don't even open and that is why I started making the stands so that they could be displayed by the recipient. The sentiment, small verse or saying will be on the front of the card and you have lots of space on the back to sign it and send your love. You could even create a pocket on the back of the card and slide a tag insinde if you wanted too... but I don't.... coz I am lazy!

[@ChristinaGriffiths]

The card stand die is from Joy Crafts and if you go to the Blog you will find a link direct to the Ebay page that I bought them off.... and they are very pretty.

[@decodp3221]

****superbe bravo*

[@joanlabelle5904]

This video was exactly what I needed today. Thank You! Now I have a question too. I have a new Silhouette Cameo and I understand you have some "how to" videos on using one. Where do I find the first video? I want to watch them all.

Sorry Joan ... not me ... I don't have the Cameo xx
