3. Place the eyelet circle die just a bit off the folded edge and run through your machine. You will have a circle card. Now on one layer score at half the measurement horizontally. This will make the stand or easel for the card. 

4. Cut another eyelet circle out of same white cardstock and paste it on to the folding part of easel card base. 

5. Now the base card is ready for decor. 

6. Cut 1 eyelet circles out of any pattern paper. It will go on the top layer of the base card.

7. Cut one more eyelet circle in silver cardstock. And cut the floral pattern using another die from the same rounded eyelet die collection. You will have to trim the inside layer of this silver  cardstock a bit so that it can fit in the fold edge. 

8. Next is to cut Elegant Pocket die in Gold n white cardstock using the layered dies. 

9. Made my 3 D flowers using Christmas Poinsettia and Holly die cuts.. And colored them.. Then kept them on a hard foam and sprayed water and started shaping them with flower making ball tools. Layer the flower cuts offsetting the petals. Add beads in center. 

10. Stamp the Merry and Bright accents and Garland from Glow of Christmas in versamark ink and emboss in gold with a heat gun. Die cut using coordinating dies or fussy cut. And color them. 

11. Paste the elegant pocket die aligning the top of card. Arrange all the die cut elements and flowers on the card.
