Supplies
- One 4 3/16" x 9" piece of cardstock for card base

- One 4" x 3 1/4" piece of cardstock or patterned paper for your layer

Step-by-Step
-
Step 1
Score the 4 3/16" x 9" piece of cardstock at 5 1/2. Set aside.
-
Step 2
Score the 2" x 8 1/2" piece of cardstock at 2 1/8" and at 6 3/8", like a gate fold card.
-
Step 3
Fold the outer panels of your 2" x 8 1/2" piece of cardstock in and decorate as desired. Adhere the center panel at the bottom of the back of the 4 3/16" x 9" piece of cardstock piece.

At this point it should have double folds along the left and right side and at the top.
-
Step 4
The bottom of the top fold should line up with the double doors at approximately 3 1/2" from the top.

In response to your statement, I too have people that display the cards they receive from me. Knowing that, I made an adjustment to my card. I placed it on a 4.25 x 5.5 fold card. I made 2 sympathy cards and was able to fill every space with scriptures and prayers. I realize that is a lot to do, but it will allow the card to stand on its own for display.
Don't know if that helps, but that is what I did.
Wishing you a healthy and creative New Year.
Have a great day

Yes, you can open the barn door pieces on the bottom a bit and your card will stand.
BellbrookMama, If you layer your main image over the barn door pieces, it should keep it closed.
Thank you.
will look again at your video cheers thanks Lee
