Instructions
1. Fold a piece of white card 24cm x 12cm in half. Using the largest Scalloped Circle Spellbinder cut a circle through the folded card....to create a card. You will need to ensure that the top two scallops at the folded edge actually go above the fold so that they won’t cut the card and leave a hinge as shown in the photo.



2. Now open the card out and fold the front circle of the card in half. Folding it in towards the centre hinge. This creates the Easel part of the card.



3. Still using the largest Scalloped Circle cut one from the pink bazzill bling. Using the largest of the Plain Circle Spellbinders cut a circle from the yellow bazzill bling. Using the second largest Scalloped Circle Spellbinder cut a circle from the green bazzill.
4. Next adhere the pink, yellow and green circles together.
5. Stamp an appropriate image onto white card stock. I have used a free flower image from Fred She Said which I coloured with watercolour pencils.
6. Cut this image out using the third largest Plain Circle Spellbinder. Ensuring there is room left under the image to add the ribbon.
7. Stamp the greeting on the plain ribbon. I have used Timber Brown Stazon Ink as I found my other inks bled.
8. Attach the ribbon under the image and then add three silver bling.
9. Attach the image to the pink, yellow, green layered circles and then attach to the bottom half of the folded card front. Be careful where you attach the double sided tape as you don’t want it to be seen above the fold line.
10. Now on the inside of the card use you corner stickers to decorate the scalloped edge of the circle.
11. Attach three bling where you want the Easel part of the card to sit when opened. Be sure to line the bling up with the scalloped edge so that it catches.
12. Finish with a sticker greeting.
