This is my first Step Card. The tutorial is done by Split Coast Stampers of course. Thanks by the way!!
STEP CARD DIRECTIONS:
If you don't have the time to watch their video these are the instructions. Cut a 10.5 by 5.5 inch piece of cardstock. You need to use a thick paper so cardstock is perfect. You need to score at 1 1/4, 2 1/2, 4 1/4, 6 and 8 1/4th inches. If you use a Scor-pal, get the 1 1/4th score line by taking the left side of the paper and put it at 3 inches then score at 4 1/4th. To get the 8 1/4th score line put the 6 inch score line (which is the 4th score line) at the 2 inch line and score at 4 1/4th.
Fold the beginning of it down then alternate the folding and you have your step card.
EMBELLISHING YOUR STEP CARD:
For me, it depended on the height I needed for the card. The finished height that I needed was 4 inches. So in order to embellish it AND be able to fit it in the coordinating envelope I folded the card flat, like it would be in the envelope, and placed the Dec 25th Sticker on that "step". I had a ruler on the side so I could see where the sticker would lye if the height of the entire card needed to be 4 inches and attached it with adhesive.
MY MATERIALS:
I'll start at the back. The "Dec 25th" was a sticker made by Anna Griffin. I had to back the sticker onto white cardstock and cut around it so the back wasn't sticky. I also added 1 of her snowflakes that match the Dec 25th Stkr. The red and white piece behind it is a border. It's also made by A. Griffin. From her christmas borders. Next, I added a grungeboard lantern that I embossed with "Forest Branches" embossing Cuttlebug folder. I colored it with Walnut Stain Distress ink.
The green stocking is felt. It's as stiff as a board which is needed for this. It's not like a sheet of felt. Next to it I added a Spellbinder "Symbology 1" die cut and stenciled with Peeled Paint Distress ink . I also added an "Eyelet Border" die cut on the first "step". I placed a red bow next to that to finish it up.
Thanks for coming by today and hope you enjoyed it,
