TIME FOR TEA POST IT BIRTHDAY EASELCompleted by Donna Ritchie

This is a stunning gift that I will be giving to my best friend for Christmas. The included instructions are easy to follow and the construction is quick and simple once all parts have been cut out.

I printed the design on matte photo paper, scored where marked and cut out all the pieces. If you wish to use all the layers, as I have, there is quite a bit of fussy cutting but the shapes are simple and not fiddly. I am not normally a flowery sort of person but these layers look wonderful.

The only problem I had was that I couldn't find little pens anywhere - I bought a co-ordinating pen and will include it across the card in the presentation box. I felt that the ribbon to hold it when in use was the part going to be put under most stress so I reinforced it with some scrap photo paper before cutting the hole and adding the ribbon.

The 2nd photo shows the easel card closed against its presentation box and the 3rd photo is a close up of the top of this box. A gorgeous gift for a friend!
