Good morning good morning!  Hope your weekend is going well!  We got the errands done yesterday and got the garden at least a little less jungle-y!  And boy have we got tomatoes growing!  BooYAH!!! 🎉🎉

And – I made a card!  And it’s one I love love love.  I love faux step cards so…when I found a TRIPLE faux step – I knew I had to make it!  I saw it on Pinterest from Laurie at Stamp With Laurie (thank you!).  I did a few modifications of a couple of panel sizes and then decorated mine with the amazing and gorgeous Moonlit Flora DSP and coordinating Fern & Flora bundle to make a super cool thank you card.  Take a look-see:

The layout you see on the center panel was inspired by the sketch challenge over at Try a Sketch on Tuesday!

I started with a 5 1/2″ x 11″ piece of Secret Sea  cardstock that, using my Paper Trimmer, I scored along the long side at 3″, 6″, 7 1/2″, 9′ and 10″.  I folded the scored lines as a mountain (3″), valley (6″), mountain (7 1/2″), valley (9″) and mountain (10″).  This is the main card base.

I cut a 2 7/8″ x 5 3/8″ piece of Secret Sea Moonlit Flora DSP and adhered it to the back front panel of the main card base with Liquid Glue.  I also cut a 1 3/8″ x 5 3/8″ and a 7/8″ x 5 3/8″ piece of the same design and adhered them to the middle front and front front panels with Liquid Glue.

Then I scored a 3″ x 6 1/8″ piece of Secret Sea cardstock at 2″ – and folded it as a mountain.  That’s the center step panel.  I did similar with two 1″ x 6 3/4″ pieces of Secret Sea, scoring and folding THEM at 3 1/2″. Those are the two side-step panels.

Using Liquid Glue, I adhered a 7/8″ x 3 3/8″ piece of leafy Moonlit Flora DSP to the longer side of each of the side step panels.

I put Liquid Glue on the bottom 1″of the FRONT of the DSP-layered end of the side-step panels and used it to adhere each of them to the back side of the smallest front panel of the card base – making sure to align the edges and bottoms.

I used Liquid Glue on the other end – and, closing the card – adhered them to the BACK of the middle folded second of the card base.  Note: the strip will NOT reach all the way into the fold at the bottom of the panel – and that is okay – you don’t want it to – focus on the FRONT alignment! Okay – this is really hard to write – so…please please look at the video!  It’s WAAAAY easier than it sounds!  Promise! 😉

I adhered a 2 7/8″ x 4″ piece of Soft Sea Foam paper from Moonlit Flora to the larger side of the center-step panel.  Using Liquid Glue, I adhered four 1/2″ x 3″ pieces of the leafy Moonlit Flora DSP in a stair step.

I put Liquid Glue at the bottom of the center step panel and used that to adhere it to the FRONT of the middle folded section of the card base.

Note: in the picture below – you can see that the top of the closest side step is a little crinkled.  That happened on my first iteration of this card – and prompted me to change the measurements of the side and center panels to what is listed here and in the card cuts below.  So – use these dimensions – and the video – and you’ll be GTG! 🙂

Then I closed the card base and used more Liquid Glue to adhere the smaller portion of the center panel to the back of the main card base – thus creating the center step.

On a 2 7/8″ x 5 3/8″ piece of Basic White cardstock, I stamped a Fern & Flora sentiment in Secret Sea ink.  Next to it, I stamped one of the moths from the set in Secret Sea ink and colored it with the Golden Glow Shimmer Brush and Light Berry Burst Stampin’ Blend.

I used Liquid Glue to adhere the panel to the back of the card base.

Using the second-from-largest Stylish Shapes circle die, I cut out a circle from another design of the Moonlit Flora DSP.  Using Liquid Glue, I adhered it to the front panel of the card base.

Using the Fern & Flora dies I cut out some foliage:

– Large leaf from iridescent Sunset Shimmer Vellum Specialty Paper

– Medium leaf from Golden Glow 2026-2028 In Color Pearlized Specialty Paper

– Fiddlehead from Berry Burst Moonlit Flora DSP

– Leaves/Stem die cut from Old Olive cardstock

– Six flower pieces from Berry Burst Moonlit Flora DSP

– Three flower centers from Basic White cardstock.

I used Liquid Glue to adhere the two leaves and the fiddlehead to the die cut circle on the card front.  Then I assembled the flowers using Liquid Glue and then adhered them to the Old Olive stem/leaves with more Liquid Glue and then to the card front with Liquid Glue.

I made a figure-8 bow with four loops of Linen Thread and adhered it with a Mini Glue Dot.

On a piece of Basic White cardstock, I stamped the Fern & Flora sentiment and the moth in Secret Sea ink.  Around the sentiment, I stamped the frame image from the set in Berry Burst.  Using the coordinating dies, I cut out both images.

I adhered the sentiment over the bow with double-stacked Black Stampin’ Dimensionals.  I colored the moth with the Golden Glow Shimmer Brush and Light Berry Burst Stampin’ Blend and adhered it to the side panel with Liquid Glue.

I added some Old Olive Dewdrops Embellishments and the card was done!

My Basic White Medium Envelope got the Fern & Flora moth in Secret Sea, Golden Glow and Berry Burst on the front…

…and more of the Moonlit Flora DSP on the envelope flap.

Et Voila!  Okay – I am totally loving this new version of one of my fave fun folds!  Faux steps are fun to make – fun to decorate – and fun to send!!  Adding two more steps for a TRIPLE?! BOOM!  I love how it gives so much space for decorating and playing – and the Moonlit Flora DSP and coordinating Fern & Flora bundle is a perfect candidate!

I hope you like!
