Happy Birthday to You Label Triple Easel Card
Cut all 3 bases out of white cardstock. Score and fold along the fold lines.
Large base: Fold the base closed with the fold on the top. Cover the top section (above the middle score line) with dark purple texture trimming to fit. Medium base: Cover the top section with dark purple watercolor. Small base: Cover the top section with blue watercolor.
Large label: Cut the label from purple floral paper and mat on pink cardstock from the Princess Cardstock, leaving a 1/16" border. Cut a medium label from pink/purple watercolor. Swipe over it with the Perfect Printing Pouch. Using VersaMark™ ink, stamp a swirl in the upper right and lower left. Stamp the greeting in the center. Emboss with lavender embossing powder. Mat onto teal cardstock with a 1/16" border. Foam tape to the center of the large label. Cut around one of the white flowers on the purple floral paper. Mount it on purple cardstock and trim around (leave no border). Foam tape the flower to the upper left of the large label, overlapping the medium label (you'll need 2 layers of foam tape toward the outer edges). Apply 3mm adhesive pearls around the center of the white flower and 1 on each swirl as shown. Tie a bow with the tan and fuchsia twine and glue to the bottom right of the medium label with Zots.
Medium label: Cut the medium label from watercolor ephemera paper with a half of a butterfly wing showing on the left side. Mat onto teal cardstock with a 1/16" border. Stamp "Count your life by smiles, not tears" on blue watercolor and cut out in a rectangle. Mat on purple watercolor with a 1/16" border and foam tape to the right side of the label. Add a small row of adhesive pearls to the top right and bottom left of the sentiment as shown
Small label: Place the small label shape of the template over the watercolor ephemera paper with the green bird going off the top left of the label. Trace the label with a pencil. Remove the template and cut around the label and around the bird. Erase any pencil lines. Mat the piece on pink cardstock, leaving a 1/16" border around the label shape but no border around the bird. Stamp "Count your age by friends, not years" on purple watercolor and cut out in a rectangle. Mat on teal cardstock with a 1/16" border and foam tape to the right side of the label as shown. Add a small row of adhesive pearls above and below the sentiment as shown.
Assembly: Assemble all the pieces (except the stopper) of the Triple Label Easel card according to the template instructions.
Covering the bases: Cut 4" x 4 5/8" of horizontal stripe paper. Slice 1 3/8" off the top and glue it to the space between the large and medium easels, sliding it slightly underneath the fold of the medium easel base. Slice off another 1 1/8" and glue in between the medium and small easels, sliding it slightly underneath the fold of the small easel base so that no white is showing. Try to match it up perfectly with the previous piece. With the remaining 2 1/8" of stripe paper, cover the front section under the small easel, aligning it with the previous strip so that no white is showing. Trim any excess.
Stopper ("made by" stamp): Stamp the "Homemade with love" label on blue watercolor and cut around. Mat on purple watercolor, leaving a rectangle mat. Mount on white cardstock (for sturdiness), leaving no border. Foam tape centered to the card, 1/4" from the bottom edge. Sign the label before delivering.
