Step 1

This digital die cut template makes it easy to create your own cardstock 3D Easel, just the perfect size for holding the paper cut 3D 4×6 Frame or for holding scrapbook pages or other lightweight paper art. You will need the following supplies to create this project:

  • Silhouette Cameo

  • Heavyweight cardstock paper (I’ve used American Craft’s Autumn)

  • Glue (I’ve used Scotch Brand Quick Dry Adhesive)

Begin by cutting template pieces from desired cardstock. Fold along all score lines.
