One of the gals at our Craft Dozen get togethers demo'd this "Diamond Easel card". Thought I'd try making it... The Merry Christmas one was the first one I did and I wanted it to fit the  5" x 7" cards I usually make... but that added a WHOLE BUNCH of calculations to make it work BIG GRIN.
 Then I made a more traditional one that's a square shape. A lot easier.

I'm also getting to use decorative paper I've had sitting around for about 7 years.

Instructions at the bottom of this post.

Pencil in a little dot on either side at the 7.5" point and at the mid point on the bottom edge. Cut the half diamond. Voila you have your card base.

I cut my 1st square (red) to 3 1/4" square. The next one (decorative cardstock) 3". Adhered both to card.

Cut the red diamond pieces by cutting a square 2 & 3/10" square and then cutting it in half to create2 triangles. Cut the decorative square to 2 & 1/10" square and again cutting in half. Adhered.

The text area, cut a rectangle 4 & 7/10" x 2 & 3/10" of red and one from white to 2 & 1/10" x 4 1/2". Stamp your text and then adhere to card.

Cut red cardstock 3.25"sq and adhere to card front on the bottom half of the square only.

Cut the decorative cardstock to 3"sq and adhere to red piece.
