Next, I made a simple card with a beautiful presentation as an easel card. These look so pretty standing on a mantel or side table.
To give the card that "WOW factor", I diecut the easel portion. When we are designing for shows we often receive first run papers literally hot off the press and we don't get any embellishments like chipboard, tags, etc to go with it. So sometimes embellishments are a bit of a challenge.
Tip: Make your own embellishments like the button I used! Just punch a 1" circle from chipboard and then punch a 1" circle from design paper. Glue them together and use a button from another G45 collection to mark the button holes. Punch the holes with a WRMK Big Bite. Presto, now I have a button embellie!
Another tip: To give my project a little dimension without going overboard, I fussy cut some poinsettias from design paper and layered them over the diecut bird image, popping them up with foam dots. That added a nice touch without making my card too bulky to mail.
Inside the card, I stamped a sentiment and image and trimmed it with a border strip from the design paper.
