Tutorial : An easel greeting card

Hello folks, hope you all are doing well. Today 'Something Different' has brought for you another greeting card tutorial. In this tutorial, we will learn how to make an easel greeting card.

Steps are quite simple.

Step 1: For this card, I have selected colour combination of Pink, White and black. Choose coloured paper sheets as you like. Cut pieces out of these sheets with dimensions:

Pink : 1) 12.5 cm x 11 cm

2) 12.5 cm x 18 cm

3) 12.5 cm x 3 cm

Black : 1) 11.8 cm x 8.5 cm

2) 11.8 cm x 2 cm

White : 1) 11 cm x 8 cm

2) 11 cm x 1.2 cm

Step 2: Make design as per your wish on first white paper piece. And paste it on first black piece and then again on first pink piece as shown below. This forms Part A of our easel greeting card.

Step 3 : Now, take second pink piece. Make folds at distances of 2 cm and 7 cm from one of the short edges. This is Part B of our card.

Step 4: Write your short message on second white piece. And paste it on second black and third pink piece as shown.

Step 5: Paste the message strip that we prepared in step 4 along the short edge of Part B as indicated in the image below.

Step 6: Now, on the back side of Part A, mark a line at a distance of 6 cm from bottom long edge.

Step 7: Apply glue to the 2 cm fold of Part B.

And stick part B to part A in such a way that 2 cm fold-line matches with the line marked on Part A in step 6.

There you have it. A beautiful easel card is ready.

And if you fold it, both parts will perfectly stack over one another.

Write your message inside. You can customize this card in every possible way. You can change the colours, design, shape and size; basic procedure remains the same.
