Shamrock Studded Easel Card

 

Shaped holiday card and decoration includes center panel 
with holes cut to position 97 small studs for 
a fun textured card front. 
Scalloped base layer adds a delicate flair. 
Add-on easel base is a half-height bi-fold panel with 
“back” bottom straight edge to assist the card 
to stand upright for display. 
Inside, place the plaque with tiny shamrock accent 
to include a written or stamped sentiment.  
Shaped card measures approx. 5.” tall x 5.” wide 
when assembled. 

ASSEMBLY: 1. Identify and cut the shapes:
left to right -- card base, studded front,
folding easel base to glue to base lower backside
NOT SHOWN: inside sentiment tag, accent shamrock
2. Position studded shamrock on front of scalloped
card base, centered, with offset scalloped margin
all around, and glue in place.
3. Working quickly, fold the easel shape. 
Orient the straight-bottom panel
to the outside, then align the opposite half behind 
the shamrock card base with scalloped edges
aligned, and glue in place.
4. Place the glued-up assembly on a flat surface
then place a heavy flat weight onto the top of it,
then allow the stack to be pressed until thoroughly dried,
which may require several hours or over night.
5. Position and attach individual studs into (or over)
the position circle cutouts.
6. Position the shamrock accent over the matching
cut edges at upper left corner of sentiment tag
and glue in place.
7. Position and attach the sentiment tag assembly
either behind the lower portion of studded front clover
as shown here, -OR- in opposite face of easel stand
inside. 
Here is the completed easel card.
