Grace's Garden Center Step card with Easel

I have had several people ask me for instructions on how I made the Grace's Garden card that I posted on May 3, 2020.  Click here to see the post.

This Center Step with Easel template uses a 5 1/2" x 11" cardstock base.

I have attached the picture below for all of the score lines and cut lines.

Using your trimmer or a cutting blade measure up from the short edge of the card base 1" and over 1 1/4" on the long edge, cut the card base from 1" to 5 1/4".  Repeat on other long side.  See template above.

On the long side of the card base, score from the edge to the 1 1/4" cut line at 1", 2" and 5 1/4".  Repeat on other side. See template above.

On the long side of the card base, score between the two cut lines in the center of the card base at 4 1/2".  See template above.

On the long side of the card base, score all the way across at 8 1/2".  See template above.

Fold all the score lines as follows: The 1", 4 1/4" and 5 1/4" score lines are mountain folds.  The 2" score line is a valley fold.  The 8 1/2" score line should be folded towards the front of the card.  See picture above.  

Use a bone folder to make the folds crisp.

To help the card to stay upright, I scored the base of the small yellow flowers on the front of the card at 1/4" and adhered the base of the flower to the easel using Tear and Tape Adhesive.  These flowers can lay flat when the card is 

collapsed for inserting in an envelope, when the card is opened the 

small yellow flowers can be popped back up.
