METHOD:
Hello Gorgeous
1. Cut a blue blank down to 28cm and lay landscape. Draw a line 3cm up from the bottom edge. Score down from this line at 8cm, 16cm and 22cm from the left-hand edge. Score upwards from the line at 3cm, 6cm and 17cm from the right-hand edge. Cut the line between the two outermost score lines and concertina fold in opposite directions to create a side stepper card.
2. Cover the main panel of the card with leaf paper and add pink paper to the remaining front faces of the card. Fix a sentiment and die-cut motifs to the card with 3D foam pads, allowing parts of the motifs to extend from the edges of the card. Embellish with pink and blue gemstones.

1. Lay the pink blank landscape with the largest part on the right-hand side. Score at 7.5cm from the right to halve it. Score the left at 2cm, 4cm and 9cm from the left-hand side and concertina fold.
2. Layer blue foliage paper onto the front of the card, snipping around some of the toppers to create sections that stand up from the fold. Secure a sentiment and die-cut motifs to the top of each step to finish.
