The beauty of this card is that you can make it pretty much
any size you want and the way you make it stays the same!
Take a piece of card and fold in half. (I used an A4 piece
of card cut to 6” wide.)
Fold one side in half again.
Trim your patterned paper/coloured card to the size of the
card and add glue to the bottom half of the flap. Stick the paper to the card
so that the top part is ‘free’.
Add paper to the bottom of the card. Decorate the top.
Make up a small panel to go on the bottom of the card and
attach with foam pads, this will hold the easel in place. (I made mine 2" wide and positioned it about 3/4" up from the bottom of the card but you can put it wherever feels right to you.)
Add any extra embellishments and you are done!
Simple design to make once you have the hang of it and they look really effective. Just be careful if you are sending the post as due to the foam pads it will probably be larger than just sending a normal card.
Have fun creating some easel cards,
Happy Crafting,
