Triple Tier Square Easel Cards dressed with Stampin' Up!

Ben, our son, likes to create cards with me and when I was making the Triple Easel cards, yes my  focus was female cards.  Ben wanted to make a blue card and he adores the Stampin' Up! sets of "By the Tide" and "Sea Street".  I made this card for Ben, as he meticulously instructed me through out the creation :-)

A big thank you to thestampcamp for creating such an easy to follow video on how to create this gorgeous layout.  This is one of my favourite cards, even though I struggled with decorating it with the flowers.  Sometimes the cards you struggle with end up the best, maybe we appreciate the final product LOL

The card can be made out of any shaped framelit so long as you have 3 (or 4 if you are coordinating the centre pieces), that nestle inside each other.  I will post other shapes I have used in creating other easel cards shortly.

Thanks for stopping by and happy crafting,
Love
