Today’s fun fold card is a CENTRE STEP CARD. I have adapted the measurements I found on the internet to use a piece of cardstock measuring 11-1/2″x 4-1/8″ (29.3cm x 10.5cm).
I am also continuing to use some of the product Artfully Composed Suite.
Here is a diagram of my template.
I started with an Evening Evergreen cardbase and prepared it using the instructions above. Then I cut the two vertical lines that are 3/4″ in from the left and right hand sides. The cut started 1″ above the bottom of the cardbase and stopped 5″ from the top.
The three shorter horizontal lines were scored so that they can bend to create the steps.
Another horizontal was scored in the centre panel at the halfway point – 5-3/4″.
Then I cut the Designer Series Paper panels to adhere tp the front of the card. The paper for the centre panel measures 5-3/8″x 2-1/2″. The two narrow side pieces each measure 4-5/8″x 5/8″. The two small rectangles in the bottom corners measure 7/8″x 5/8″.
For the leaf embellishments I started by stamping a piece of Basic White cardstock with Calypso Coral, Just Jade and Pear Pizzazz. Then I cut out the solid leaf using one of the Tropical Layers Dies. I also cut one of the leaf shapes from a piece of Calypso Coral cardstock. Both of these shapes were then given added texture using the stripes folder from the Stripes & Splatters 3D Embossing Folders.
Then I cut a third leaf using a piece of Evening Evergreen cardstock. The leaves were overlapped and glued together before adding it to the front of the card.
I added a Basic White insert inside the card. It measures 4-7/8″x 4″ and it has a 1/2″ strip of the Calypso Coral DSP attached. A second strip was added to the front of the envelope.
The birthday greeting, from the Artfully Layered Stamp Set, was stamped and trimmed down to add to the card front.
To finish off the card I added some Matte Black Dots across the front of the card.
I wonder if you have noticed that I have some new background sheets that I am using in my photos. What do you think of them?
This week I featured the Artfully Composed Suite and from tomorrow, I will showcase another suite.
Until tomorrow, happy stamping.
