    Step 1
    Score the 4 1/4" x 8 1/2" piece of
    cardstock at 4 1/4" and 6 3/8".
    Hint:
    On a Scor-Pal, the 6 3/8" measurement is
    marked with a dot on the upper guide.

    Step 2
    Prefold all score lines.
    First fold the card in half, then fold the second
    score line (6 3/8") opposite from the 4 1/4"
    score line.
    Step 3
    Place cardstock on table with the 4 1/4" side
    down.
    Add Scor-Tape to the 2 1/8" x 4 1/4" section
    cardstock that is facing up.
    Step 4
    Remove the Scor-Tape liner and adhere the 4
    1/4" cardstock square to the card base.
    Line up the top of the square with the top of
    the 2 1/8" x 4 1/4" section.

    To make the easel card stand up by itself, add
    an embellishment or an extra layer (for this
    sample, it's the punched layer) the inside of
    your card. This that will keep the card front
    from closing.
    It is best to have that embellishment or layer
    at least 1/3" into the card from the bottom up.

    Regular card size (4 1/4" x 5 1/2")
    Vertical card
    Start out with a 4 1/4" x 11" piece of cardstock
    and score at 5 1/2" and 8 1/4". Your card front
    piece will measure 4 1/4" x 5 1/2.
    Horizontal card
    Start out with a 5 1/2" x 8 1/2" piece of
    cardstock and score at 4 1/4" and 6 3/8". Your
    card front piece will measure 4 1/4" x 5 1/2".
    Other card sizes
    You can make any card size into an Easel card.
    Your Easel base will measure two times the
    height of the card front.
    Example:
    For a 3" x 6" card start out with a 6" square for
    the easel base. Score at 3" (height of finished
    card) and 1 1/2" ( 1/2 of height of card).
    Circular Easel Card
    - Cut a circular card base out with die
    templates. To do that, fold your cardstock in
    half, and line up the side with the fold so that
    part of that fold won't be cut.
    - Score one of the circle card sides in half and
    fold the other half up.
    - Add adhesive to the folded up 1/2 circle.
    - Adhere another circle shape, cut with the
    same die you used to cut the card base, to the
    1/2 circle.
