Step 11
- Make the top of the card
Ensure you have two different colours of cardstock. Take one of the sheets of cardstock and cut the following squares: 5" x 5" and 4.5" x 4.5" - With the contrasting coloured cardstock, cut the following squares: 4.75" x 4.75" and 3.75" x 3.75"
- Cut your centerpiece image so that it fits within a 3.5 inch by 3.5 inch square.
- Layer the squares using an adhesive of your choice, like a glue stick or double-sided tape. Stack the squares from smallest to largest, using your picture first.
- Make the bottom of the card
Take your dark coloured cardstock and cut a 4.5 inch by 4.5 inch square. - Take your contrasting coloured cardstock and cut the following squares: 4.75" x 4.75" and 4.25" x 4.25"
- Layer the squares in order from smallest to largest using an adhesive of your choice.
- Make the "easel"
Cut a 5 inch by 10 inch rectange from the dark coloured cardstock. - Score the cardstock in the middle to make two 5 inch by 5 inch squares, then again across one of the diagonals.
- Fold across the diagonal and attach the top of the card to this triangle using the adhesive of your choice.
- Flip the easel over, so the top of the card is pointing down (and it is lying flush). Attach the bottom of the card to the base of the easel.
- Fold across the diagonal again and along the middle of the card so the top of the card stands up using the base.
- Personalize your card with a message or greeting of your choice.
Tip: Use a small object (like a button) on the base of the card to prop up the card.
