Whimsical Trees Faux Side Step Card

I had not used the neat Mossy Meadow holly with Polished Pink berries in the Whimsy & Wonder DSP. So I set out to make another Faux Side Step Card using that paper.  I combined it with the Polished Pink Shimmer Vellum (mounted on Basic White first).  I let the DSP "speak" to me, and here it is!



Measurements:  

  • Polished Pink: 5 1/2" x 8", 3" x 6", 2" x 3 1/2" (stamped tree)
  • Whimsy & Wonder 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: 2 3/4" x 5 1/4" (inside), 2" x 3 1/2" (under tree), scrap (under message)
  • Mossy Meadow: 1 1/4" x 2 3/8", 2" x 3 1/2" (detailed tree)

To Make This Card:
  • Score Polished Pink base along 8" side at 3" - 6" - 7".  Accordion fold as shown. Crease well.
  • Attach 7/8" x 5 1/4" DSP piece to "bottom". Skip an area, and attach larger DSP piece to the next area.
  • Now, take the Pink 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).
  • Stamp "sketchy" tree in Mossy Meadow onto piece of Polished Pink.  Cut out with corresponding die.  Also, cut this same tree from Basic White and Polished Pink Shimmer Vellum.
  • Attach the Pink Shimmer Vellum to the White base.
  • Stamp the smaller tree in Mossy Meadow.  Cut out with corresponding die. 
  • Also, cut the "detail" tree from Mossy Meadow. Attach this to the Shimmer Vellum tree
  • Arrange the trees onto the "step" as shown.  The tree on the left is flush on the step, the other 2 trees are popped up.
  • 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. You can place this piece wherever you would like, left, right, or center.
  • For the sentiment, adhere a small piece of Polished Pink Shimmer Ribbon to Basic White.  Stamp sentiment in Mossy Meadow and cut out with smallest Stitched So Sweetly Die.  Add to card with Dimensionals.
  • Finish by coloring Clear Rhinestones with Polished Pink Blend, and adhering to tops of trees, and a Polished Pink Open Weave bow.
