Floating Easel Technique Card made with Stampin’ Up!’s Botanical Butterfly Designer Paper

www.CreateWithTerriGaines.com

Today’s card is one of the technique cards I shared with customers at my January Technique clubs.

I found a technique card online called Flying Easel Card which has an image dangling with fishing line in the opening.  I used a strip of clear window sheet instead and called this technique Floating Easel Card.  This is a fun card to make.

I used Stampin’ Up!’s new Crackle Paint Background Stamp, the Botanical Butterfly Designer Series Paper and the Butterfly Duet Punch for this card.

Unfortunately at the time of this post the Butterfly Duet Punch is not order-able. Current availability date is April 1st. 

I’m excited to share the supplies, instructions and a video with assembly tips so you can create this card with me!
