Tutorial- Free Standing Card

I hope you all had a great Easter.  

This Easter I made a tutorial at my cabin 

and I will love to show off how I made it....

(so sorry for some bad pictures, it's taken by my Iphone )

You will need this tools to make this card:

*Paper trimmer

*Bone folder/score board

* Scissors

*Cardstock

*Pattern paper

*A motif or text

*Glue and tape

*Embellishment

******************************************************************************'

Start with the cardstock. 

Cut the cardstock at  6"x 11" (15,3 cm x 28 cm)

and then score at 1" , 2.3/4", 3.3/4", 5.1/2", 7.1/4", 8.1/4 and 10" 

( 2, 5 cm, 7 cm, 14 cm, 18,5 cm, 21 and 25,5 cm)

 ******************************************************************************

Cut the pattern paper at 

3/4" x 5.3/4 " (2 pieces)

You will see at the pictures that I used four pieces, but

you just need two pieces...

(2 cm x 14,5 cm )

1 1/2" x 5.3/4" (4 pieces)

(4 cm x 14,5 cm)

**********************************************************************

 Distress all  the edges and glue all pattern papers to the folded cardstock.

***************************************************************************

On the middle 5.1/2 score line, make a mark at 1" and 5"

Cut  between 1" and 5" to make a slit for your tag.

*********************************************************************************

Now you have to start with you tag- the one who stands up when you 

opening the card.

My motif  is 3. 1/8 x 4. 3/4 (8 cm x 12 cm) and little bigger after

added another panel behind.

As you can see I have left some space in the bottom of the motif where 

I can glue it together with the card.....

******************************************************************************

Apply sticky strip at the  1" end of the cardstock

*******************************************************************************

Slide the tag into the cut slit and attach tag to the sticky strips.

******************************************************************************

Attach glue to the 1" cardstock base and glue the other 1" section to finish your card.

********************************************************************************

Decorate your free standing card as desired.
