Twisted easel card (my way) and an award

I’ve had lots of emails asking for a quick tutorial on how to make these twisted easel cards, and I’m sure there is a easier way to do this but this way works for me. 
Just make sure you rotate the top layer with the image on 90 degrees clockwise so when you open the card the image stands upright (been there, done that rofl)

Hope this helps.

    Hi Bev,

    I was wondering if you know about Riet's health these days. I also gave her an award earlier this week (because I do admire how she is creative while in so much pain!)and didn't hear from her at all and her last blog entry was from January so I was realy wondering if everything was allright. Today she wrote on her blog that she is not doing well at all and is on Prednison. When I saw her name on your list I thought
    I'd better inform you. Sorry if the English is not good, I hope you understand anyway.
    Love

    Irene
