Easel card, resized

As much as I love easel cards, I hate the extra postage to mail them. So, this morning while I was watching Mike Holmes I asked myself, "Self, why are easel cards always square"? And myself didn't know. So then I wondered if you could make an easel card the size of an A2 card (5.5 x 4.25). I do know the answer to that - yes, you can. You start with a 5.5 x 8.5 piece of cardstock, score in the center and then score one half in the center. The bottom of the card would be 5.5 x 4.25 and you would assemble it just like a square easel card. There's more room to decorate both the top and bottom.




And this is the finished card which is the size of an A2 card when folded:



Paper: DCWV Nana's Kids; Stamps: Magnolia and Stampin' Up; Stickles: Yellow, Frosted Lace, Blueberry Ice; Copics: (skin R20, E11, E00, E000) (hair E37, E34, E30) (Dress R22, R14, YG13, B93) (Shoes N4, N2) (Chocolate Box E44, E74, E47, Spica Gold) (Heart Jar T2, T4, hearts YR12, YR20) (Lace Box E50, E51, E33, E35, Spica Sand)

I'm off to make more easel cards. All of your comments are appreciated.
