Maggi here today sharing a pretty easel card that will display so prettily! I used several different Cheery Lynn Designs dies to make this card and I can just imagine how lovely it will look sitting on a mantle spreading Christmas cheer. I used Graphic 45's new Seasons and Winter Wonderland collections for my design papers.
I love dimension so I used lots of layers and popped up two of them. From the bottom there is a red square, then a holly print layer just peeking out cut with the
Pierced Stacker 3. The next layer is popped up and consists of a square with a
Quadrafoil Square Doily adhered to it. Then the final layer, also popped up, is a
Seasons cut-apart.
To really make this card pop, I added handmade flowers. The red roses were made with the
Large Rose and
Medium- Rose die sets. The pretty cream flower was made with
Judy's Blooms Die.
I used the
Holly Corner underneath the flowers to add the perfect touch to my floral clusters.
Inside the card, the pretty band and popped up tag serve to hold the easel of the card upright. There's also plenty of room to write a personal message.
This side view shows you how the easel mechanism works.
