This is not brand new and it’s in no way my idea! This kind of cards can be seen all over blog world recently. Here’s just my version of how to create an easel card.

Supplies used:
Tiny Princess by Sugarplum Paperie
Tender Talk {Wordart} by Jan Hosford
Seasons of Love: Word Art by Elise’s Pieces Designs

2 x 4 x 4” patterned paper print outs
1 x 4 x 8” cardstock
1 x 4 x 4” cardstock
1 Button (or large brad or something similar)
Scor-Pal (or just a bonefolder)
Double sided adhesive tape (or adhesive of your choice)
Ribbon (optional)
Pop Dots (optional)
Distress ink (optional – to ink the edges of the papers)

How To:

1. Score your 4 x 8” cardstock at 4” and 6”

2. Fold your cardstock as shown in the picture

3. glue your patterned paper that will be the front of your card onto the 4 x 4” cardstock
4. glue the other patterned paper onto the 4 x 8” cardstock as shown in the picture,
put your doublesided adhesive tape (or any type of glue you prefer) on the folded cardstock as shown in the picture
and glue the button onto the bottom of the card (referring to the picture below)

5. put the 4 x 4” piece onto the taped side (see picture) – and you’re already done!

You can also flatten the card so it fits into an envelope and you can easily send it by mail, too:
