Project of the week: Botanical Treasures

Square Easel Card

Materials

Square Large Card Blank
Design Sheet and Paper
A4 White Card

Glitter

Gems

1. Using a square card fold the top part of your card in half to make an easel card blank.  

2. Take a piece of white card and cut out a square measuring 14.5cm x 14.5cm, then attach it to the easel front (ensuring you only fix adhesive to below the score line).

3. Fix backing paper to the front section and the inside back with double sided tape or glue. Trim it a little bit shorter than the card, leaving a white edge around the card.

4. Choose your topper and cut out your shape, then fix to the centre of the card as shown, fixing in place using foam pads.

5. Cut out a ribbon strip and fix to the bottom of the card as shown.

6. Using your sentiment, cut out and attach with foam pads to the back and fix into place to act as your stopper.  

7. Cut out extra flowers and shaped them to give more dimension. 

8. Attach at opposite sides of the topper using foam pads or silicone glue.  If using silicone glue, leave your work to dry for an hour.

9. To finish your project add self adhesive gems to the flowers and the main card as shown.
