Side Step Bouquet

I had some fun with the February 2021 Paper Pumpkin kit: Bouquet of Hope and created a side-step card design with some of the supplies and the stamp set in the kit. You can watch the video of my awkward process making this card by going to my videos on my Facebook Page. I didn’t have much of a plan when I started this card, other than knowing it would be a step card fun fold – thus, the awkwardness!

The video shares my process and provides the initial measurements to create the base of the side-step design. I still want to try to work with the other card bases in the kit to make some more of these fun folds with the other two colours in the kit.

I stamped the sentiment and the bouquet image with Tuxedo Black Momento ink. The image was coloured with Stampin’ Blends Markers.

While making this card, I couldn’t decide what I wanted to do on the front step on the right side. I tried ribbon and various strips of paper, but everything I tried was too bold or seemed to change the overall feel of the design. In the end, I stamped the bouquet a second time on a scrap piece of Basic White cardstock, coloured the three roses with my Blends Markers (Calypso Coral with a touch of Light Cherry Cobbler). I fussy cut the roses and added them to that front step. It felt like just the right thing to finish this design!
