My challenge for you today is to do an easel card! I have used a cute new image available for the first time today at TDS! So...Drum Roll Please.....


I found directions on easel cards on Split Coast Stampers by Beate Johns.

Easel Card Instructions

• One 4 1/4" x 8 1/2" piece of cardstock
• One 4 1/4" square piece of cardstock
• Scor-Pal™, or other scoring tool. (I used my
• Scor-Tape™, or other strong adhesive
• Additional cardstock for card inside and card front
• Stamps
• Ink and embellishments

Step 1

Score the 4 1/4" x 8 1/2" piece of cardstock at 4 1/4" and 6 3/8".
Hint:
On a Scor-Pal, the 6 3/8" measurement is marked with a dot on the upper guide.

Step 2

Prefold all score lines.
First fold the card in half, then fold the second score line (6 3/8") opposite from the 4 1/4" score line.

Step 3

Place cardstock on table with the 4 1/4" side down.
Add Scor-Tape to the 2 1/8" x 4 1/4" section cardstock that is facing up.

Step 4

Remove the Scor-Tape liner and adhere the 4 1/4" cardstock square to the card base.
Line up the top of the square with the top of the 2 1/8" x 4 1/4" section.
This creates the easel card base

Step 5

Decorate the card front.

Step 6

Decorate the card inside.To make the easel card stand up by itself, add an embellishment or an extra layer (for this sample, it's the punched layer) the inside of your card. This that will keep the card front from closing.

It is best to have that embellishment or layer at least 1/3" into the card from the bottom up.

Easel card opened on view to your right....
