Hi Everyone,
For Fun Fold Friday this week, I have made a Triple Step Card using the lovely Summer Shadows dies and the Splendid Day designer series paper with a label and sentiment from the Natures Prints bundle. You could make this style card for any occasion and use any dsp and die sets to change it up and make something that looks different every time.
Materials
1 piece of thick white card 11" x 6"
1 piece of basic white 4 1/8" square, 1 piece 3 5/8" square, 1 piece 3 1/8" square and a scrap for the sentiment
1 piece of dsp 5 3/4" x 2 3/4", 1 piece 1 1/4" x 5 3/4", 1 piece 3/4" x 5 3/4" (for the card base)
1 piece of dsp 3 7/8" square, 1 piece 3 3/8" square, 1 piece 2 7/8" square
Scraps of flirty flamingo, granny apple green and basic white for the die cuts
Memento black ink
Natures Prints stamp set
Natural Prints dies
Summer Shadows dies
Stampin Cut & Emboss Machine
Iridescent rhinestones
Iridescent pearls
Trimmer
Simply Scored
Multipurpose adhesive

Instructions
On the long side score the thick white at 3", 6", 7 1/2", 9" and 10" and fold and burnish concertina style to make the card base.
Add the dsp layers to the card base and all the mats.
Die cut as many flowers and sets of leaves as you want, I've done an assortment of sizes as you can see. This is a two part die set so you layer up the flowers and leaves to give definition, I used a fine tip glue applicator on the intricate dies - you could use our adhesive sheets if you wanted to.
Stamp a sentiment and die cut with the label from Natural Prints.
Adhere the mat layers to the card base starting with the largest and make sure it sits in the fold and is central. It's then quite easy to line up the two smaller mats so that they lie central to the one behind.
Arrange the flowers and leaves and add the sentiment to the front panel. You can add as many or as few as you like, I've just put a couple of flowers on each layer but it's up to you, it's your card. Add rhinestones and pearls to the flower centres for a bit of added sparkle.
I think this is a lovely card and I will be making lots more using other sets, I hope that you like it too.
