Actually, for most people, this would be far trickier than the 
current versions... most folks have to print 2-sided by running the 
paper through their printer a second time, and the registration, 
margining, and leader feed would have to be pretty precise for this 
to work well.  Most people just have cheap inkjets, and results would 
be disappointing.  That is one reason why the current printable set 
is built to be folded in half... because the alignment of fronts and 
backs becomes much easier.  (The other reason is that two sheets 
glued together makes for more durable pieces than a single sheet that 
is printed both sides, assuming plain 20# or 24# paper.  Mounting 
onto paperboard, wood, or plastic is an option, of course, for those 
desiring even greater durability.)
