Blue Gate Fold Stepper Card

 
I have named this style of card a gate fold, stepper card
as it is something I have arranged out of using three pieces
 of grey card (odd bits) to make a finished card size to
fit a 6 x 6" envelope.
 
 
 
Cover the panels with Papermania capsule collection
papers once all edges have been inked.
 
Xcut sew lovely range of dies to cut oval
lace edging on the stamped sentiment, layered onto
the stepper. 
 
 
Holes punched into gate fold for ribbon to tie shut.
 

 
Xcut flower die used for front decoration.

Molly Bloom stamp, watercolour, Lucy Cromwell
papers by Papermania, Pan Pastels, Xcut leaf nesting die,
ribbon, Xcut flower die, Xcut doily die and Marianne
foliage dies.
 
Using an A5 white card blank mat and layer birdhouse paper onto
blue card stock. cut out doily, flowers and foliage.
 
 
Stamp the image onto white card watercolour and cut
out using the leaf nesting die, mat and layer the image.
Using Pan Pastels colour some clouds in the background of
the image. 
 
 
Sentiment is from the same paper pack bent and stuck
on either end to form a curve.
 
 
The inside of the card was decorated in the same
birdhouse paper and another die cut piece of card
mat and layered with a stamped verse.
