There were 2 different t things I wanted to do with this die so we ended up with 2 very different cards. I made the easel card with the intention of just showing how to use it as a stencil but I went ahead and made a second card with it.
Usually, a floating easel is made by cutting the base card so it is hidden behind the topper. This time because of the was the die was made I partially glued the die cut to another die cut and used that to attach to the card base.
The second card I used the left over piece from when I die cut as a stencil so the die cut would have a background. I then glued the die cut over where I stenciled.
