2 Score across the centre of the front and fold in half to create an easel card. Layer green swirl and pink herringbone paper onto white card, 9cm x 12cm, ensuring to round off the corners.
3 Secure a baker’s twine bow and mini pom-pom to the top-right corner and adhere the panel to the greeting. Fix a 12cm strip of striped paper along the base. Fix a sentiment on top with 3D foam pads to anchor the easel element.
