Triple easel heart card

So when I was surfing the web I came across this beautiful card and knew I could make the cut file in MTC. I found it at bestofbetsys.blogspot. I have included a few different views so you can see how it is layered. What I love is that it can lay flat for folding and then stand up for display. She calls it a triple easel card. Here is my version. I am giving this file away through Sunday this weekend to all my followers.. Please see the bottom of this post to see how you can get it.

The rose is made from fabric. The side view shows how the card tucks into itself and folds flat. The tip of the heart rests in the top of the heart in  the one in front  of it.



I hope you can tell how it works. The key when you put this together is to know to only glue the front of each heart to its easel part is to glue the lower third of the heart below the score line. And you can add some double stick tape to the very tip top of the heart shape above the other score line which will adhere the easel part to the base of the card.



The sentiment of from mythoughtsexactly The little dictionary word is a freebie from the scrappincop .

  Here is the final display.



I hope you enjoyed the card and the concept.


Edited to add some instruction:
I'll try to explain where you glue the parts. There will be two cardstock hearts that you glue together on the bottom third in each size. The one with the scorelines goes in the back. The very top flap made by the score lines will be adhered to the base of the card. If you look at the very first picture, you'll see that they lay stacked with the smallest under the mid-sized and the largest on top. The largest scored heart will be adhered to the largest heart which is the card base. I cut two and sandwiched them to make it more sturdy. It adheres at the very top. You can use double stick tape so you can move them if you need to reposition until you get it figured out. The mid -sized scored heart will go about 2 inches in front of that one and the smallest scored heart will go about 1 1/2- 2 inches then in front of the mid-sized heart. Let me know if you are still confused. Look at the side-view on my blog and that will help with positioning.

Here's is a visual aid.

  24. i just became a follower too. Love the triple heart easel card. I just saw it on Pinterest and after doing some googling, saw you posted this in the MTC forum in May. Sorry I missed it as my husband was diagnosed with a brain tumor during that time and I wasn't on the forum as much as I usually am. I would love the file sent to me also please. Or is it too late.

    Thanks ...... JJ
