Instructions:
Card size: 6 X 6” Card base is 12 X 6 white folded in half.  Cut the large tag, Decorative Pocket Accents and Ornate Pocket Accents out of white.

Cut a piece of the orange butterfly paper to 5 7/8 X 5 7/8 and glue to 6 X 6 folded card (white border is very small)  Cut a piece of the purple Lush Lilac paper to 5 3/4 X 5 3/4" but do not glue it yet.  Glue the decorative white dies to it and cut the pocket slit before gluing the panel to the card, make sure to keep pocket area open for tag to go into.  Glue the sentiment to bottom of card and set aside while working on decorating the tag.

Stamp Poppies using Tiger Lily, 2 layers per flower including small closed poppy.  Sponge lightly with Tiger Lily and die cut then sponge edges again to darken.  Stamp Lilacs with Deep Purple and sponge with Majestic Violet.  Stamp Leaves with Library Green and sponge with Leaf Green then die cut.  Run flowers through machine with the Floral Basics Shaping Mold, the Lilacs with the Lilac Shaping Mold and the Leaves in the Leafy Accents Shaping Mold after misting each layer and let them dry completely before moving on.  Punch poppies in the centers to bring petals up and glue them together, 2 layers each.  Add glue to the centers and sprinkle in the Black Gala Glitz (California Poppies have black centers and seeds).  Slightly press lilacs in the centers and add glue then sprinkle with orange Prills. Cut leaves apart to use as needed.  Sprinkle glitter to tag background before beginning arrangement and then start with the largest flower toward the top (use strong glue as glitter is hard to stick to).  Arrange Poppies and fill in with leaves and Lilac then add glue here and there and add more orange Prills.  Insert tag into the pocket of card and you’re finished!

Triple Easel Tutorial


Let's get crafting!
Directions:

Step 1: Cut white cardstock into one 11 x 4 1/2", one 10 x 4, and one 9 x 3 1/2" pieces, fold each in half and place the Large Eyelet Diamond die on the largest piece leaving about 3/4" of the die off the top so that it does not cut fold. Cut the other two pieces of card with the next two sized dies.

Step 1A: Fold one half of each in half.

Step 2: Using white card die cut the diamonds again as full diamonds this time. Also die cut using the Diamond Basics die set papers from the paper pad and adhere to the white card die cuts.
Step 2A: Die cut the Diamond Basics dies paper from the paper pad. And adhere to the base of each of the folded diamond card bases.
Step 3: Adhere the three folded card bases to each other to for the teiple easel card. Start with the largest and adhere the middle sized card base to the centre of the largest card base. Repeat with the smallest card base adhering it to the middle one.

Step 4: Stamp a sentiment onto one of the diamond fronts using Deep Purple ink.
Step 5: Adhere each front (the three diamond pieces we cut first) to the folded section of each diamond as shown here.
Top Tip: Place glue onto the folded section of the card and not onto the triangle you are adhering to the card.
Step 5A: The large section and the middle section will now stand open when placing the point of the diamond bottom against the fold of the next section and the last little section will stand open when decorated with florals which are used as a stopper! (See finished photo).
Step 6: Stamp several sets of small, medium and large sized Oakberry Lane Blossoms and some tiny Floral Fashionista Blossoms using Deep Purple, Rose Madder and Magenta Hue inks and sponge with Deep Purple, Pink Peony and Magenta Hue. Also stamp the Leafy Accents using Fern Green and sponge with Leaf Green and some of the Deep Purple and Rose Madder.
Diecut the flowers and leaves using coordinating dies and shape using the 3D Molds and the Deluxe Flower Shaping Kit.
Step 7: Glue together 3 layers for each flower. 2 of the same size for the base and then 1 smaller size for each of the Oakberry Lane Blossoms, 2 layers for each of the Floral Fashionista Blossoms. Fill the Tiny Florals with Minnie Pearl Prills and use the ivory small Pearl stamen for each Oakberry Blossom.

Heartfelt Creations Sending Love Your Way!

Good morning!
It's time to vote for your favorite Design Team member
Here is the link toVOTE

It isn't too early to think about Mother's Day, so here is
my version of a Mother's Day card.
My mother would have LOVED this card, she would have left it up all year!
She loved china tea cups (and you wonder what that has to do with anything right?)
Well it has to do with the beautiful flowers that were always on her cups.
She collected them and displayed them in a pretty curved case.
This card is in honor of my mom.
