Butterfly Easel Card

Hiyah!

I just went to photograph my latest card and the battery on my Camera ran out, so while I wait for it to charge up I thought I’d share a project that I’ve previously posted over at Team KnK just in case you haven’t seen it but also to add it to my archives here.

I had a Birthday Card to make recently for one of my Neices who loves Butterflies. Well, Easel Cards are always a winner with any recipient and having a cutting machine means that I can make them any shape or size I like. So, today I have a Butterfly Easel Card to share :)

Pic 1. I cut the solid pieces in the cut file from some pink cardstock to form my card base, I then cut the detailed front layer from some lightweight white card:

Pic 2. Fold the larger of the solid pieces along the dashed lines as shown below:

Pic 3. Add some strong double sided tape or wet glue on the area demonstrated below only:

Pic 4. Attach your smaller solid piece ensuring that all of the edges are aligned to form your easel card base:

Pic 5. Attach your detailed layer by adding tape or glue to the body area only, this will allow you to bend the wings forward and add lots of dimension to your card:

Pic 6. You will need to add a stopper for your upright shape to rest against, I cut a basic banner shape and adhered it to the base with some 3D foam pads:

Pic 7. I decorated my finished card with some sparkles and before sending this card I personalised it by added the recipients name to the stopper banner:
