Prima Homegrown Triple Easel Card Tutorial for Wonderful Wednesday
Hello, Friends! It’s Wonderful Wednesday and I have the cutest Triple Easel Card Tutorial to share with you today. Y’all know how much I love a good pop up card, so when I saw this new style of wiper card, I just had to take it for a spin with Prima’s Homegrown collection.
The card construction is beautiful in its simplicity, and amazing in its function. First of all, there are no dies involved. Start with 4 simple matted layers of cardstock. Next, score and fold 3 wiper arm mechanisms between the layers. Then add your fussy cut layers or ephemera bits to the ends of the wiper arms. Add whatever embellishments you like, and you are done!
My card base is 5″x 7″ so it’s larger than many of the samples you will find online. It does fold all the way down for mailing, but will need a bubble mailer because it’s a little bit thick, and the pull tab makes it wider than 5″.
Two Sets of Mice is Twice as Nice!
I had so much fun making my first Triple Wiper Card that I set up for a second go round. I think you’re really going to enjoy making this fun card design.
And, of course, you can make it in any theme with any paper you have in your stash. You can bet I will be making some holiday cards with this fun design.

Personal Update
So many of you have asked how I’m coming along with my knee replacement recovery that I thought I’d address that for you.
The short answer is, I’m doing really well. Some days are better than others, and I’m still dealing with stiffness and swelling. But I’m walking several times a day and doing physical therapy twice a week. I see gradual improvement on most days. I’m still learning how to get along with my new knee, and it makes me feel very tired by the end of the day. I’m 6 weeks into the recovery process, and my PT says I’m doing great.
Thank you for all your kind thoughts, prayers, wishes, cards and encouragement. This has been quite a year…but I’m getting all this behind me so that 2027 will be amazing.
As always, thanks for stopping by, friend!
Cheerio,
kathy

Hi Kathy. My supplies arrived so I’m psyched to make this card for my 11 year old friend’s birthday card. Please help me find the measurement document.
I encourage you to just do the PT religiously. I had a full knee almost 2 years ago and am SO glad I did. It took me more than a year to feel I could kneel on it, I actually tripped and fell on it too. It’s just like a real knee. Honestly the quad muscle above the knee is still not quite as flexible as it was, but I don’t often need to raise it above my waist. The strength came back with exercise. Hang in there.

SO BEAUTIFUL, SO MUCH FUN!
Wow Kathy, talk about setting the scene! This project truly demonstrates a construction style that tells a story, especially with these papers. Love the way this stands for display yet sits flat for postage, that really is the finishing touch for those of us that send most of our cards by mail. This is defnitely going into the notebook of Kathy design ideas and hints right beside me at the desk. Thanks again for sharing your passion for papercrafting.
Thank you for the update on your knee replacement recovery, it sounds like you are doing a great job progressing! Thank you also for the awesome tutorial. You have explained all the details in order to recreate this wiper card to make it easy. I am looking forward to next weeks video.
