My Diamond Top Easel Card Fancy Fold
This Hydrangea Hill Suite of products is so gorgeous, it deserves a statement card. For this floral thank you card, I have chosen to create a Diamond Top Easel Card. If you have never made this style of card before, you can see me creating one in this video.
Like so many of these fancy fold cards, they are a lot simpler than they look. The fun is in the decoration, especially when you have stunning patterned papers like the ones in this suite.
The Hydrangeas
This beautiful hydrangea was created by die cutting the flower head in Basic White card and adding colour with sponge daubers and Gorgeous Grape, Misty Moonlight and Highland Heather ink. This clever die cuts the card so you are apple to pop elements of the flower up to give it a 3D look. Stunning! There is a die that cuts the detailed elements of the leaves out for you to add to the main flower die. I mounted the completed flower onto a stitched label cut from vellum. A swirl of the gorgeous grape sheer ribbon had been attached beneath this panel. The greetings on the flower and the easel stopper panel both came from the Hydrangea Haven Stamp set. Of course I had to use some of the pretty pastel pearls to finish off.
You need somewhere to write your greeting to the card’s recipient. I placed a panel of Basic White card on the back with some simple stamping on it.
