Easel Card Tutorial

This card is a bonus card I made with all the scraps.

This easel card is so simple. In easy terms that work for ALL card sizes, here you go. For a portrait easel, your base is 4 1/4 x 8 1/2. You fold it in have, then fold one half in half again. The front of your card is 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 and you decorate it like any card front and you attach it to the bottom fold of the front of your folded base.

For the landscape card, your base is 5 1/2 x 8 1/2. Fold it in half, then fold the front in half again. Decorate your card front (4 1/4 x 5 1/2) as you want, then attach the card front to the bottom half of the front of the card.

The only only “trick” is to create some barrier for the card front to rest again when it’s stood up.

Quarter fold Card

Fun Fold Friday Card Tutorial

Quarter Fold

Start with 2 pieces of cardstock

CS1: 4 3/16 x 11

CS2: 5 7/16 x 8 ½

Score CS1 at 2 3/4 from each end

Score CS2 at 2 1/8 from each end

Adhere the two pieces of cardstock together, lining up the edges with the score lines. Making a cross

Decorate as desired. (2 x 2 5/8) are the dimensions of the flaps that will show on the front of the card

Fold the card as you would close a packing box. Fold in the left side, fold up the bottom, fold in the right side, then tuck the left corner of the top flap underneath the left side panel

This card would be great to hold confetti or a monetary gift. (No worries of it slipping out!) The card fits in a standard envelope
