Hello friends,
Just posting a little Adornit fun here. This time, a card that folds flat but can stand up once opened. I used a coloring sheet from the Love and Faith mini coloring book and colored pencils. Here are the steps I used to make the card:
1. Cut your solid card stock into 3 panels:
4-1/4 in x 11 in
4-1/4 in x 5-1/2 in and
4-1/4 in x 2 in
Cut your patterned paper into 3 panels:
4 in x 5-1/4 in
4 in x 1-3/4 in
4 in x 3 in
Score the long card stock piece at 2-3/4 in and 5-1/2 in marks. Crease as shown.
2. Glue the the largest and smallest pattern pieces to the card stock mats.
3. Turn over the small matted piece and add a foam pop dot to each corner.
4. Adhere the panel to the bottom of the long card stock panel (on the opposite end of the creased areas.)
5. Glue down the leftover patterned paper panel to the inside of the card as shown.
6. Make crisp crease lines in top of card.
7. Adhere colored and trimmed down coloring page to large matted panel. Add greeting.
8. Add adhesive to top of folded card.
9. Place decorated panel on top of folded panel, making sure that the top edges of both panels meet.
10. Side view of card should now look like this.
11. Swiveling the top panel back should allow it to lock in place behind the raised smaller panel at the bottom of the card, so that the card now stands like an easel.
12. You can use the lower portion to add a greeting as shown. But the inside can also be used for a note.

13. Swivel again and the card can fold flat and be mailed in a standard A2 envelope.
I hope you are now inspired to try your hand at this card style.
Happy Crafting!
