Floral Cards.



These easel cards have been made using the following files -
 - Purple & White Flowers Toppers, http://myprintablecrafts.com/products/3453?variant=11210284294,
 - CU4CU Paper Flower PSD Templates, http://myprintablecrafts.com/products/2916?variant=11209969350.  (See flower Post for more details)

Purchase and download the files, then they can be printed.  I use Windows Photo Viewer to print most files and then select the appropriate size for the files.





I used the Brother Scan n Cut CM600 machine to cut out the files with a 2mm border all around, using the direct cut function.


For the card base, I used a digital editing program and selected a shape similar to the shape of the topper, and copied it three times - two of these were overlapped to create the card base.  Two matts slightly smaller were also added to the screen.  These were then coloured by uoloading the original file and selecting colours from each of them for the base and matts.



To make up the card, score the base where the two shapes meet and halfway through the top one, and fold.



Attach the second shape on the bottom half only.

The mats were edged with glitter and adhered to the card base with foam pads.  The topper was also placed on the top.

A flower was used for a stopper and decorated with gems.
