A-Frames are so called because they resemble an upper case A when standing open. They can be made from any size of cardstock, although most card makers will usually cut a standard sheet of cardstock (A4 or letter) down the middle to create two long pieces.
1. Begin with an A4 (or letter) sized piece of cardstock. Cut the cardstock in half longways so that you are left with two long strips.
2. Now score and fold the cardstock in half so that it resembles an A-Frame or a sandwich board.

Lovely card.
Yes, the measurements are always such a welcome bit of information. I still struggle with wondering what size a lot of the gals are using for their card. A6 or A4 doesn't make much sense to some people (me) and so the measurements in inches or centimeters is great.

I just made 75 A frame cards!! Yours are lovely.
This is simply beautiful. I must try this.
I have just been browsing your blog and I must say, I really love your style of cardmaking. I'm sure all of your tutorials are very helpful to a lot of people out there. Thanks also for the digis. They are lovely, too. BTW, A4 is a standard paper format mainly in Europe and Japan (based on ISO 216), so it's a good thing you mentioned the measurements as well.

Hi Beccy, Thanks so much for the many card base you give. I come to your site many times for the different card folds. Thanks You no matter how simple it may seem new card makers will love this.
Hi Beccy, Thank you for sharing your ideas. I am into different card folds now and really appreciate any help I can get.
These are beautiful cards. Thank you for sharing!
You told that A4 is not an internationally recognised paper size.
Please look at http://papersize.org.uk/ for the internationally recognised paper size inclusive A4.
