This blog is for sharing a love of paper crafting. I love paper crafting -
and Stampin' Up! products in particular -
so much so, that I became an independent Stampin' Up!®™ demonstrator earlier this year!

Another Dual Side Stepper

Today I made one of these Dual Side Stepper cards - calculating measurements for an A2-sized card.  Here are the measurements I used:

  1. With basic A2 card open, cut sides 1" in running from 2" in the back to 3/4" in the front. 
  2. Score between these cuts starting at the base of the cut lines at 2", 4", 5 1/2", 7", 7 3/4" - again between the cuts. This should give you a total of 5 score lines. 
  3. On the outer sides - score as normal at 4 1/4" and fold as mountain fold.
  4. Fold along the scored lines as follows: mountain, valley, mountain, valley, mountain. 

I also cut a piece of cardstock that was 3 1/2" x 3 1/2", which I used to create the back panel.  

I cut papers (Beautiful Bokeh) just a bit smaller to nearly cover the 3 1/2" square panel, the front step, and the card front.  I embossed these pieces using the Beautiful Butterflies Hybrid 3D embossing folder.  Then, I used a foam applicator to add Balmy Blue ink to the raised areas and around the edges before gluing in place.  I die cut 3 small butterflies from Basic White cardstock using some of the extra dies included with the Hybrid embossing folder.  I added these butterflies to the top of clear acetate strips - which were then attached to the front step using Mini Glue Dots.  I stamped a greeting from the Beautiful Butterflies stamp set and Balmy Blue ink - then inked the edges before adding to the front step with Mini Stampin' Dimensionals.
