Center Step Card Archives - Inkspired Treasures

I made over 60 of these Snow Much Fun Center Step Cards for the SUDSOL swap and general swapping at Convention! Yes…time consuming, but good TV work! I used Marina Mist and Calypso Coral on those…this one was my prototype, but I was low on Pool Party cardstock so switched out the colors for Convention!

The base is Pool Party cardstock. I made my own "designer paper", by stamping the two smaller stamps from Stampin' Up!'s Serene Snowflakes in Blushing Bride and Pool Party randomly over Whisper White. They were cut to fit the front panels. I stamped the snowman from Snow Much Fun in Black Stazon on Whisper White and used my Blushing Bride, Pool Party, Pumpkin Pie and Basic Gray markers to color him. I layered the white on Blushing Bride and added to the front of the Center Step base. I stamped the greeting with Black Stazon on Blushing Bride and punched with the Modern Label Punch. Then I added a Pool Party snowflake from Northern Frost Decorative Strip Die with a Silver Mini Brad in the center.

Here is a template…not to scale, but shows the dimensions (sorry…if you downloaded this before I did the revision, you'll need to print it again. I'd forgotten one of the score lines!)

REVISED: CENTER STEP CARD TEMPLATE

The long, lanky snowman was just PERFECT for this type of card! Love it and hope you do, too!

I've been making a LOT of these Center Step cards lately! They are really quick and easy, but pack a lot of WOW into a card! Of course, Fabulous Florets fits the center panel perfectly! My class in Canton did this one last month!

The base of the card is Pumpkin Pie. I layered on the green print from the retired Greenhouse Gala on the sides and bottom, being careful to match up the prints with the direction the card will be going! I stamped the stem from Stampin' Up!'s Fabulous Florets in Pear Pizzazz Classic Ink on Whisper White and cut and added the flowers in Melon Mambo and Pumpkin Pie. Do they look familiar? I had some left over from the Wedding Shower Invitations I had done! The Whisper White is layered on Pear Pizzazz cardstock and placed in the center panel.

I wrapped the Whisper White Taffeta Ribbon around the bottom and tied a knot. I stamped the word "Thanks" from Thank You Kindly in Melon Mambo on Whisper White and punched with the Large Oval Punch and layered on the Scallop Oval punch of Pumpkin Pie! (And…really that ribbon is supposed to be behind the greeting…must have slipped out when I was photographing it!)
