Ever since I saw a triple easel card, I have been wanting to make one. I made my card so it would fit in a legal sized envelope. Finished card is 3"x9". I started with a piece of cardstock 6"x9". I scored and folded it so that it would fold lengthwise. I made cut lines from the top of the card to the centerfold at the 3" mark and the 6" mark. This made 3 flaps on the card. The two side flaps I folded diagonally, making right triangles with the 90degree angles next to the center flap. The center flap I folded in half. Then I cut 3 squares 3"X3" to adhere to the easels. I put the dogs on either side and put the sentiment square on the center panel. Easel cards usually need something to hold them in place. I decided to use the bones from the set to make my stops. I stamped each bone 4 times. I cut out and glued the 4 bones together. That gave each bone dimension, enough to hold the panels back, but not so much that the card can't be folded flat and mailed easily.
How the card looks folded down flat for mailing.

Close up views of dog panels. Can you see the dimension or thickness of the bones?
Wow that took some construction - fun card.
