Instructions: To create this Triple Easel Card, you need to cut the white cardstock into three pieces - one 4 1/2" x 9", one 4" x 8" and one 3 1/2" x 7". Fold each in half. Using the 3 largest sets of scalloped circles dies in your set, place the die so that part of the die is off the folded edge. Run these through your die cutter to create a scalloped shape card. Now you will fold the top part of this little scalloped circle in half (this creates the easel for each card). Adhere the bottoms of the three scalloped circles together to form your card. Now you will need to die cut some more to decorate your card. I cut/embossed the three corresponding scalloped circles out of white cardstock and three smaller circles out of patterned paper to mat onto my circles. (See sample.) Adhere your patterned paper and scalloped cardstock together and then using scor-tape adhere to the easels on your card.
To decorate this easel card, I stamped the smaller snowman onto white cardstock using Tuxedo Black memento ink and colored it using the Dove Blender pen & Teal Zeal/Sweet Plum memento ink. I colored the bells and his carrot nose with alcohol markers. I die cut the snowman with the matching die. I fussy cut some Christmas packages from the paper collection and adhered the snowman with the packages onto the middle easel. I stamped the small poinsettias from the Celebrate the Season collection onto white cardstock using Sweet Plum ink and die cut them using the matching dies. I also stamped the wreath image onto moss green cardstock using green ink and die cut the wreath with the matching die. I adhered the wreath onto the first easel using 3d foam squares. I added the poinsettias at the top of the wreath and added rhinestones in the middle of the flowers. I die cut the snowflake using white cardstock and adhered that onto the last easel. I fussy cut the sentiment from the paper collection and adhered that into place using 3d foam squares. I added sparkle to the whole card using a sparkle marker and added a bow of ribbon to complete the project.
