Friendly Foliage Faux Step Card

I've had this bundle since before Christmas, but just haven't had the chance to use it! I love unique dies, and it's a bonus when it comes with an equally unique stamp set, as this one does! I was looking for a unique idea, rather than just placing it on the center of a card, and found this one by Cindy Brumbaugh. She has made it in 2 different color combinations. I have made both, but there are so many possibilities!

Measurements:

Lost Lagoon (Strawberry Slush): 1/2 sheet, 3" x 8 1/2"
Basic White: 2 3/4" x 4", 2 3/4" x 4" (back), 2 3/4" x 4" (stamped image), scraps
Everyday Happiness DSP (ret) (Florals in Bloom): 1" x 5 1/4", 2 3/4" x 4"

To Make This Card:

Score base along 8 1/2" side @ 1 1/4" - 2 1/2" - 5 1/2". Crease well. Accordion fold.
Adhere 1" DSP strip to front of card.
Take single "sprig" and stamp in the same color, on the inside 3" of cardstock (that will be seen). I also stamped on the back of the Strawberry Slush one, so take your pick!
Next, score "step" at 4 1/4" (or just fold in half). Crease well.
Adhere DSP to front, and White layer to the back.
Attach to card base as shown with Tear n Tape.
Now stamp image in coordinating ink onto piece of White. Die cut both outside and inside images at the same time.
Adhere to "step" with Multipurpose Glue.
Also, die cut 2 "sprigs", and tuck those under "frame" adding to the image.
Stamp "sprig" and sentiment on the back piece.
If desired, stamp sentiment onto scrap of White. Die cut with Stylish Shapes Banner. And, adhere where desired.
Finish with White & Silver Bow and scattered Rhinestones.
