Today’s card is a Faux Step card that
uses the beautiful One Horse Open Sleigh Designer Series Paper. This card was inspired by a fellow
demonstrator Sue Campfield. I love that
it makes a fast and simple step card without all that measuring and cutting of
a traditional step card. It makes it a
really fast and simple card that requires very few supplies.
Here is what I came up
with…
The card base is Night of Navy cardstock that was cut to 4 ¼ x 11”
and scored at 1, 2 and 6 ½”, and a second piece of the Night of Navy cardstock
was cut to 2 ½ x 8 ½” and score at 3”.
These pieces will make the base of the card. So first I reinforced my score lines with a
bone folder. The tent piece is a mountain
fold. For the base piece I made the
score line at 1” a mountain fold, the score line at 2” a valley fold and the score
line at 6 ½” a mountain fold. Next, I
prepared my Designer Series Paper (I love how this little A Frame looks on this
card). I started by cutting off the bottom
at 4 3/8” (then cut the scrap from the bottom to ¾ x 4” saved it for the bottom
of the card) next I cut ½” off the right side (cut this down to 4” and saved
for the inside of the card), next comes the A Frame, I cut it to 2 ¼” (this
will be the center focal piece), then I moved to the left side of the paper and
cut 2 strips of the trees to 1” and then made them 4 ¼” long (these will be the
two side pieces).
Now to assemble. I took my tent piece and adhered the long side to the center front (gluing it to that 1” mountain fold) aligning it with the bottom of the card. Next I simply folded it over the front of the card and adhered the 3” piece to the back of the card (about 1” will stick up above the base card). I then adhere the DSP, placing the A Frame focal point in the center, the trees on either side and the glowing light piece across the bottom (this also hides where that center piece comes down over the base of the card). I took a scrap piece of Basic White cardstock and stamped my sentiment “Joyful” from the Horse & Sleigh Stamp Set in Night of Navy Ink and then I die cut it using the Nested Essentials Dies and adhered it with Dimensionals.
For the inside I cut a 4 x 4 ¼” Basic White piece and added my little ½”
piece of DSP to the left side and stamped the sentiment “Wishing you a Season
of Cheer” also from the Horse & Sleigh Stamp Set onto it with Night of Navy
Ink.
There you have it, a step card without all the
hassle. I hope you enjoy this card I
