Hummingbird Sympathy Easel Card

Instructions:

1. For the card front: Open the card, then fold the outer front edge in to the center fold and crease, creating an easel card. Unfold it and close the card on the center fold, then place the card with the fold at the top. Cut 4½"x6¼" Hummingbird pink/purple textured paper, then cut it in half lengthwise. Glue one piece centered on each front panel.

2. Place four border Dazzles™ on the papers as shown, trimming the excess. Place white “thinking of you” Dazzles™ in the lower right corner as shown.

3. Die cut the wreath from purple Mirri and from black cardstock. Use Sticky Specks™ to glue the purple wreath on the black wreath, aligning the edges. Die cut the wreath from fuchsia Mirri and cut the bird from the wreath. Glue the fuchsia bird onto the purple bird, aligning the edges.

4. Glue the lower half of the wreath and the bird’s tail to the card’s lower front panel along the left edge as shown. (Make sure the upper portion of the wreath extends above the easel fold when the card opens.) Place small white butterfly Dazzles™ on the upper panel and jewel Dazzles™ in flower centers as shown.

5. For the inside: Cut 6½"x4" Hummingbird blue floral vellum and glue it across the inside center, using tape runner adhesive along the upper and lower edges. Die cut another purple Mirri wreath, then cut the flowers apart. Use Sticky Specks™ to attach the flowers to fuchsia Mirri, then cut along the edges. 

6. Foam tape and glue the flowers to the lower inside as shown. Place white “sincere sympathy” Dazzles™ between the flowers. To display the card, open it and tuck the lower front edge behind the raised flowers on the inside.
