Hey everybody! Wow. Just wow. November 8th already. The days just seem to fly by. My Mom always said ‘the older you get, the faster time flies’ and I can think of no truer words. I’m sharing another guest design project for Creative Creases Challenge and this one is for Challenge #95, so come on over and play with us! Anything goes with a fun fold, so if you’re a fellow fun fold fanatic, this challenge is for you! I created a tall center step card which is a tad larger than the normal A2 size cards I typically make, and I love how it turned out. My inspiration for this card came from THIS tutorial at Beccy’s Place. I prefer handwritten instructions over videos and Beccy’s instructions are great. She included a diagram of the cut and score lines for the piece of cardstock which is super helpful.
I cut the step card base from CutCardStock 12×12 Twine cardstock along with layering panels from CutCardStock Lessebo Amazon Dark Teal cardstock and Hot Off The Press Magnolia Blossoms 6×6 double-sided papers. I stamped the Stampendous Mini Birdhouse Bank image in Catherine Pooler Daydream ink on the large front layering panel and colored it with alcohol markers. I had a leftover Happy Birthday sentiment on my desk that I had created with the draw function on my Cricut which I cut with a My Favorite Things Essential Fishtail Sentiment Strip die. The finishing touch was adding several Eyelet Outlet 5mm blue pearls.
I cut the back panel from CutCardStock Lessebo Ivory cardstock and embellished it with leftover strips of paper and cardstock used on the front. I left it blank to write a custom message.
