Supplies

Step-by-Step

1. Step 1

   Prepare cardstock for the project base:
   
   3 1/4" x 8 1/2", scored at 4 1/4" and 6 3/8” (base)
   3 1/4" x 4 1/4" (easel panel)
   
   Score the 3 1/4" x 8 1/2" card base at 4 1/4" and 6 3/8” along the long side.

   

2. Step 2

   Fold both score lines in the same direction to create the easel base.

   

3. Step 3

   Prepare the layering panels for the project:
   Coordinating cardstock mats:
   for easel panel: 3 1/8" x 4 1/8"
   for “back” of easel panel: 2” x 3 1/8”
   
   Patterned Paper:
   for easel panel: 3” x 4”
   for “back” of easel panel: 1 7/8” x 3”
   
   Layer the 1 7/8” x 3” piece of patterned paper onto the 2” x 3 1/8” piece of coordinating color cardstock (mat), and adhere to the middle small panel of the base as shown (between mountain folds).
   
   

   

4. Step 4

   Use adhesive to layer the 3” x 4” piece of patterned paper onto the 3 1/8” x 4 1/8” piece of coordinating color cardstock (mat). Decorate the matted panel as desired and adhere the completed panel to the 3 1/4" x 4 1/4" cardstock easel panel.

   

5. Step 5

   Adhere the easel panel to the smaller scored end of the card front, lining up bottom edges, with adhesive only where shown.

   

6. Step 6

   Use a strong adhesive to adhere a sticky note pad into place inside the open card.

   

7. The project can fold flat for gift-giving. Open and tuck the card front behind the sticky notes for display.

   

8. Step 7

   Complete the project.
