Happy Day, Everyone!
I am here today to share another easel card with you. This one was designed by Bird of Bird's Cards. I just love her files, and they are all free! Go check them out!
It was so quick and easy to make this card. I just chose some papers from my stash and cut all the elements. I used the pen tool on my digital cutter to write the sentiment, and then cut the heart around it. I used some foam squares and an embossing folder to add a bit of dimension. It is important to pop up an element on the base of the card to hold the top of the card in the correct position.
Finally, I have a tip for those of you who use a digital die cutter. I discovered in making this card that doing a multi cut on linen textured cardstock really helps it cut cleanly. I lowered the force a bit, and set my software to cut repeat the cut twice. I wish I had discovered this years ago!
Have a terrific day!
Elizabeth
