Becky's Stampin' Studio: Classic Cloche Side Step Fold + VIDEO

Another Fun Fold that I had never seen. I have done "traditional" Side Step Folds, a Faux (fake) one, no!! I LOVE this fun and easy card! AND, with this version, there is even a place to write a message! For this version, I used the Tidings of Christmas DSP in the Annual Catalog, along with my new favorite, Classic Cloche Bundle. Those darling domes are really a neat addition, but difficult to mail. Notice how I used a piece of Window Sheet for my "dome". Mailing this one is easy, peasy!!

Measurements:

Real Red: 5 1/2" x 8"
Tidings of Christmas DSP (N): 7/8" x 5 1/4", 2 3/4" x 5 1/4" (base), 2 3/4" x 4" (step), 3/8" x 5 1/4" strip (inside)
Basic White: 3" x 6" (step), 2 3/4" x 5 1/4" (inside), 2 3/4" x 3" (village), scrap (message)
Peaceful Place DSP (N): 2 3/4" x 3" silver trees (dome base), scrap - woodgrain
Window Sheet: 2 3/4" x 3" (dome overlay)

To Make This Card:

For this version, I used one color for the base, and a coordinating color for the "step".
Score Real Red piece along 8" side at 3" - 6" - 7". Accordion fold as shown. Crease well.
Attach 7/8" x 5 1/4" piece to "bottom". Skip an area, and attach larger piece to the next area.
Now, take the White 3" x 6" piece (step) and score along 6" side at 4 1/4". Crease well. Attach corresponding DSP to the front of this piece.
Turn this over and add Tear & Tape to the lower back edge of both the top and the bottom. (you are on the wrong side)
Cut the "dome" from the "snowflake" part of the Silver Trees, as well as the Window Sheet. Set aside.
This is a 3-step stamp! (Love the detail). Stamp outline "village" in black ink onto piece of white (step 1). Skip adding color to the trees (step 2) and stamp the 3rd stamp in Real Red onto the "buildings. Isn't that just too cool! Now, cut it out with corresponding die.
Attach the "village" to the "dome" with the snowflakes. I added Wink of Stella to the rooftops.
Now place adhesive along the bottom of the dome, so you just catch about 1/8" of the base. Adhere the Window Sheet, just to the bottom.
Cut a "dome base" from the Silver Woodgrain DSP. Add a little more adhesive, if necessary, and attch to the bottom of the dome, overlapping the bottom just a little. Note: I did this all on my Silicone Craft Sheet.
Now, take this piece and place it where desired on top of DSP on "step" piece.
Remove the Tear & Tape covering on the "step" piece and place even with the lower edge. Remove the other covering, fold the card flat, and attach to the back of card.
To finish the card, place the White piece inside and attach the 3/8" strip to the bottom. Stamp sentiment in Real Red on a scrap of white and fussy cut around it.
Lastly, add a sheer, red bow above the dome. This also attaches the domes to the card!
