Easel Fun Fold Card for a Winter Display
Easel fun fold card ideas are some of my favorites because they stand up beautifully for display and still fold flat for mailing. This one features the North Pole Delivery Specialty Designer Paper and the Jolly Delivery stamp set, both on the Last Chance List while supplies last. If you love cozy winter scenes, this paper pack is a must-have before it’s gone.
Building the Folds and Layers
I began with a white card base measuring 5-1/2″ x 11″, which I then scored it at 1-1/2″, 2-1/2″, 4-1/4″, 6″, and 8-1/2″. These score lines create the easel effect when folded in an accordion style, switching between mountain and valley folds.
Next I covered the front-facing panels with the light blue dotted pattern from the North Pole Delivery pack. These strips measured 5-3/8″ wide and were cut to 1-3/8″ and 1-5/8″ depending on the panel. The soft blue with white dots feels like falling snow and sets the scene perfectly.
For the largest panel, I trimmed the row of houses to 5-3/8″ x 3-1/4″ and glued it in place.
Note: It will stand up taller than the tallest front-facing panel.
Adding the Holiday Scene
I stamped the “sending merry tidings” greeting from the Jolly Delivery stamp set in Poppy Parade ink and cut it with a pennant die from Stylish Shapes. I added it to the lower right corner of the front panel.
The designer paper pack includes two full sheets of pre-cut images, which made decorating the remaining panels quick and fun. I used a mix of regular and mini Stampin’ Dimensionals along with glue to attach them. The front bear is delivering gifts and mail, but seems to have dropped a few. An owl swoops in from the right with its own special delivery. The middle panel shows little shops and another mailbox, and the back panel features a second owl flying in.
Even with the layers, this easel fun fold card fits into a regular envelope. You may need some of extra postage, but the end result is worth it, don't you think?
