Ivory easel card



This card was also made using 'A Christmas Star’ stamp set (ref: 2400069a).

How to make:
Make a small square easel card from ivory pearl card.

Cut an extra piece of card the same size as the front of the card, stamp the large poinsettia to the top of the card using memento rich cocoa, following the shape of the stamp cut out the top of the card and edge in brown.

Cut a piece of ivory pearl card to fit under the stamped poinsettia, stamp a snowflake at each end in rich cocoa edge in brown, attach a piece of beige ribbon across the middle, and attach to the stamped piece of card.

Stamp "Season’s Greetings" onto ivory pearl card, trim down and mount onto beige pearl card with a narrow border, attach in the centre over the ribbon.

On the inside base of the card stamp a border using the two snowflakes in rich cocoa.

Stamp the two poinsettia flowers once onto beige pearl card and four times onto ivory pearl card, in rich cocoa, cut out and shape the two beige flowers, cut out the ivory flowers cutting away more petals from each piece, edge the ivory petals with gold ice stickles, when dry decoupage onto the beige flowers.

Attach the large flower over the stamped flower on the piece of card, attach the card to the front bottom half of the easel card.

Cut a piece of ivory pearl card to fit the small poinsettia on edge in brown and mount onto beige pearl card with a narrow border, attach above the snowflake border with foam tape to keep the easel card open.
