Birthday easel card


This is a birthday easel card made for a friend's daughter. Card size is 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 when closed. Background paper is embossed with the Cuttlebug Textile folder. The cuts are from Cricut Forever Young cartridge. The scallop oval is found on page 26 and is cut 3 1/4 inches. It was embossed with the Cuttlebug Swiss Dots folder and pop dotted on the background paper. I cut the hat at 1 1/2 inches--this is found on page 63.  I used two shades of purple for the hat, but the photo does not show that well.


A portion of the Cuttlebug Happy Birthday folder is used for the sentiment and pop-dotted on the card. This provides a place for the front of the card to stand. I used lots of Martha Stewart purple inking and some gemstones from my treasure chest. Hope she will enjoy this card!

    Glendal, this is just a lovely card. I love the cut, and the colors, and as I always feel, embossing just seals the deal. Thanks for stopping by my blog to say hello.

    This card is so pretty. I love easel cards. Very clever to use the embossing for the inside mat. Thanks for stopping by my blog. I have altered my post to include Fantabulous Cricut.

    Glenda,

    I love it!!! :) What a great idea to emboss the designer paper (I don't think I ever have; I never thought to!);)

    Thanks for sharing!

    Crafty hugs,
