Floral Birthday

To make this card I cut the largest frame from Spellbinders Majestic Labels 25 die set three times and used the middle bits of the frame to create the shaped card.  I stuck two pieces together to create the card blank and used the last piece with additional die cutting to create the easel topper.

I cut out a panel using Spellbinders Labels 18 and stamped a birthday sentiment in the middle.  I added a few pearls round the middle of the panel.  I used Spellbinders Bitty Blossoms dies to make the flowers decorating the panel with the leaves coming from the same set.

I used a Spellbinders fancy tag die cut to create the 'stopper' for the easel card, stamping another sentiment in the middle of the tag.

I Want To Ride My Bicycle

This card was a bit of an experiment but I was really pleased with how it turned out.  I took a topper from a Hunkydory card kit, I think this one comes from the 'Vintage Journey' kit.  I drew around the topper twice onto white card and cut it out to make a shaped card blank.  I then simply stuck the topper onto one side and used a piece of patterned card stock to cover the bottom panel.

I used one of the sentiments to create a 'stopper' for the easel card and added a few punched flowers using Tonic's Petal Pairs punches to add a bit of colour and embellishment.

Christmas Easel

The topper on this card is from a Hunkydory Christmas kit I had left over from last year.  The image is pyramaged inside the frame but it doesn't really show up very well in the photo.  I added some patterned cardstock behind the main image with a bow running across the bottom.

I cut a tag from Spellbinders Fancy Tags dies, adding a handwritten 'Nanna and Grandad' in the centre.

I layered up some more decorative papers onto the bottom panel of the card, adding a border across the centre to act as the 'stopper' for the easel.
