Such an easy but an impactful card. Take a basecard of Fresh Fressia 4 1/4 x 11 and score with the 11 inch side across the top at 2 1/8, 4 1/4, 5 1/2 inches. flip it clockwise with the 4 1/4 side on the top and just mark the middle at the 2 1/8 point. Draw the diagonal from that 2 1/8 center to the first score line at 2 1/8 on the left and right to create a triangular point and cut the diagonals off. that is the base of the card. see diagram below.
Take a 3 inch square of Fresh Freesia cardstock and match the corner to the triangular part of the card and glue or tape down the part over the triangular base card only so the top part is free to flip. That is the mechanism. Now you can decorate however you want. You will need 3 pieces of DSP. 4 inches by 1 inch to put on the top between the 4 1/4 and 5 1/2 inch score line, a 4 inch by 1 7/8 inch to put between the 2 1/8 and 4 1/4 inch score line in the front. lastly you need a 4 inch by 2 inch piece for the bottom of the inside of the card as shown. Take a 2 3/4 inch of white cardstock - this piece will go in the center of the diamond. Here I stamped the leaf from the Sending stampset in Granny apple green. Stamp the flowers in Highland Heather and GOrgeous grape and center with Daffodil Delight. diecut it out and mount on card using dimensionals. Stamp Sending in Gorgoeus grape and diecut and the outline in white and attach onto the white cardstock. stamp sentiment in Gorgeous grape on the little label- this is from Cracker & Treat box die - it needs to be small enough to hide behind the triangle when closed. I used dimesionals to pop the label up so it would catch the point of the triangle to make the easel card. So easy and probably my favorite cardshape for ease of making and impact . Any little image that fits in the s 3/4 inch square would look super cute. tape down the first section so the pop up is with the diamond part only as shown below. THe DSP here is from the hostess set Pattern Party (retired- one of my favorite for its black and white patterns) but any coordinating DSP would work
