Celebrate! Heart Triple Easel Card
Large base: Use the template to cut the large base out of Aqua Flourishes Foil. Score the fold lines. With the foil side up, fold valley folds along both score lines. Fold the base closed with the fold on the top. Cover the top section (above the middle score line) with Aqua Flourishes Foil, trimming to fit. Tie a bow with a long piece of green crepe ribbon (leaving the ends long). Attach the middle knot of the bow to the card with Zots, about 1/2" from the top fold and 1 1/4" from the left. Adhere the ends of the bow to the edges of the card with Zips, trimming to fit. Add more Zots and/or Zips as necessary to position the loops of the bow to your liking. Medium base: Cut the medium base out of Pink Flourishes Foil. Score the fold lines. With the foil side up, fold valley folds along both score lines. Fold the base closed with the fold on the top. Cover the top section (above the middle score line) with Pink Flourishes Foil, trimming to fit. Small base: Cut the small base out of Aqua Flourishes Foil. Score the fold lines. With the foil side up, fold valley folds along both score lines.
Large heart: Place the large heart shape of the template over the flower border paper with the border going across the top of the heart and the large pink flower in the top right of the heart. Trace the shape with a pencil. Remove the template. Cut along the pencil line except when you get to the pink flower. Cut around the pink flower's petals, then continue along the pencil lines to complete the heart. On an acrylic block, place the "Celebrate" stamp. Lift and shift one end of the stamp and then the other until the stamp is stuck on the acrylic block slightly curved to match the curve of the left edge of the heart. Swipe the large heart shape with the Perfect Printing Pouch. Using VersaMark&trade,; stamp "Celebrate" at an angle on the lower left side of the heart, about 1/2" from the left edge, matching the curve. Emboss with brown embossing powder. Glue the whole shape to white cardstock and cut out, leaving 1/16" borders. With a pencil, lightly sketch a curved line about 1/4" above the word "Celebrate". Make small marks along the line every 3/8" inch. Place white adhesive pearls on every mark. Carefully erase the pencil line. Tie a bow with hot pink sheer swirl ribbon and glue it just under the word "Celebrate" along the side of the heart as shown. Use additional Zots to ensure that the bow does not cover the greeting.
Medium heart: Cut the medium heart from green circle hearts pattern. Mat on white cardstock with a 1/16" border. Cut out the small heart from pink texture paper. Swipe over the heart with the Perfect Printing Pouch. Stamp "Eat Cake" in the center with VersaMark&trade,; then emboss in brown. Stamp and emboss the same words on light blue texture. Cut out just the letters of "eat" from the blue and glue onto the same letters on the pink heart. Mat the heart on white cardstock with a 1/16" border. Glue the small heart to the middle of the medium heart. Add 3 adhesive pearls to each side of the sentiment, as shown.
Small heart: Cut the small heart from blue sweets allover pattern. Mat on white cardstock with a 1/16" border. With the Made By Me stamps, stamp the curved label "Made just for you by" with any color ink onto scrap paper and cut out just around the words (making a stamping mask). Clean the stamp and ink it up with VersaMark™. Carefully place your scrap paper mask on the words part of the stamp. Stamp onto red pattern paper. You should have stamped only the curved label outline. Inside of this curved label, stamp "Yippee!" from the Birthday Greetings Stamp Set. Heat emboss with brown embossing powder. Cut out and mat on white cardstock with a 1/16" border. Foam tape to the heart, towards the right side as shown. On the flower border paper, cut out a 2 1/2" green flower. Place the flower so that the tiny red heart is right side up and cut off 2 of the bottom right petals. Mat on white cardstock. Add an adhesive pearl to the end of each green petal. Foam tape this partial flower to the left side of the heart, as shown.
Assembly: Assemble all the pieces (except the stopper) of the Triple Heart Easel card according to the template instructions.
