a different stair step card

Where has the week gone?  Yikes!  I am back today with a different type of Stair Step card that I made… inspired by my friend, Pam Sparks.  She is making some gorgeous cards in this style and she calls them a Front Panel Side Step card.  You can see her directions here on her blog. 

I altered the dimensions slightly on my card to make it an A2 size.  I started with 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″ and the center score is at 4 1/4″.  All other side scores are on the same 1″ measurements. (From the bottom, score at 1″, 2″, and 5 1/4″.)

I used the Penelope and Juniper images from the November release at All That Scraps.  This pair is too cute! 

After everything was cut out and glued down, I added Stickles to Penelope’s fur accents for some holiday sparkle.  I also applied Aleene’s True Snow to the base of the main image.

Here you can see how the card is cut and folded in this side view.  The sentiment hangs off the front panel.

What a fun card!  I hope you give it a try.  (Thanks, Pam, for the inspiration!)
