Hello Friends, Bloggers and Hoppers! I'm so glad you're visiting today! Thank you for taking the time to see what I've created for the OWH Memorial Day Bloghop. It's been a blast to participate and see all the fantastic cards.
We were asked to make a card using a patriotic theme but use either a "Missing You, Thank You or I Love You" sentiment. I chose "I Love You" The products I've used are listed at the very bottom of this post. I wanted to make something a little different than a traditional A2 card. This card is still A2 size and has little demension but be nicely displayed when a little kiddo receives it from their loved one.
Here's a side view. You can see a sneak peek at the white liner I added for writing and then there is plenty of room to write on the back too.
You can find a tutorial on how to make an easel card here.
You can also find more tutorials on my tutorial tab here.
Finally the inside view. I added a few more hearts that were left over from the punch, to the side just to jazz it up a bit.
With matching envelope and using a heart embossing folder too.
I hope you are inspired by my lever card. If you haven't made one yet let me encourage you to do so. You can find a tutorial linked under my Tutorial tab at the top as well as some additional links to more sample lever cards I've made.
now it's your turn to go make somethng beautiful.... and don't forget to hop along and see what others are creating!

This card is adorable! That elephant is so precious and I can see a child proudly displaying this from their deployed parent!

I love the easel card! I am an elephant person and fell in love with this card. I started following you and I'm not sure if my blog showed up or not, but here it is brendasstampingcorner.blogspot.com TFS
This is the first (only?) card like it so far in the blog and it is just wonderful!!!!!
Talk about a child getting something special!!! You can't even find those in card stores here! And look at all the extras-the hearts inside, on the envelope....just terrific card!!!
Thank you for making and sharing it!
What an adorable little elephant
Oh, this is definitely one of the CUTEST cards in the whole blog hop!! I LOVE it!! Some little kiddo is going to be sooooo excited to receive this from their Hero. I love all the white liner you added so a Hero can write a nice long message inside.
Great easel card! And you are right there is still lots of space for a hero to write home.
Love your work, especially how you used the hearts from the border for additional embellishment. Thanks for supporting OWH!
What a great card- love that it pops up and gives dimension - I will be following you as well, love your work!!! Thanks for sharing
What a cute elephant! Love the different fold, and that you left plenty of room for writing.
Oh, and I'm following. I have a blog but I don't post often.
Easel cards are so dynamic and I just love this one.
Hi Amy, I don't have a blog (and wouldn't even know how to begin one to tell you the truth!) but I love getting my crafty inspiration from my favorites online!
Absolutely adorable card. It is fabulous even without that too-too-cute elephant. I really like the lever card and am excited to try one.
