Hi Stampers!
Here we are in week 2 of my Stamp Happy Holidays series. Today’s card is a Center Step Card. Just a couple of cuts, and a bit of scoring creates an impressive greeting card perfect for the Holidays, or any occasion! For images on the cards I used the ALL BUNDLED UP and the YETI TO PARTY stamp sets from the STAMPIN’ UP!®️ JULY - DECEMBER 2022 MINI CATALOG. Both stamp sets contain fun whimsical images perfect for creating cards with lots of Holiday cheer! Of course the Center Step Card works well with any stamp set you care to use. Let’s look at the cards!

YETI DIE CUT IMAGES
CENTER STEP CARD VIDEO
CENTER STEP CARD CUTTING & SCORING DIAGRAM
* Cut card base 8 1/2” x 5 1/2”.
* Along 5 1/2” side place cardstock at 1” mark and cut from 1 1/2” to 5 1/4”. Remove cardstock from trimmer, flip it over and repeat the process.
* Along the 8 1/2” side of the cardstock at 1 1/2” score from the outside of the cardstock to the cut line.
Repeat at 2 1/2” mark, and repeat at the 5 1/4” mark. Flip the cardstock and repeat on other side.
* At the 4 1/4” mark score between the cut lines.
* Fold - the score lines at 2 1/2” are valley folds; all other folds are mountain folds.
* Now your card base is ready for you to create a terrific card.

* For greeting - I used a greeting from the Trees for Sale stamp set. The greeting is stamped on a piece of.
Basic White cardstock cut at 2 3/8”x 1/2” matted on a 2 1/2” x 5/8” piece of Garden Green cardstock

* Pearls Basic Jewels - 6 colored with Shaded Spruce (dark) Stampin’ Blend
* Adhesive and dimensionals
NOTES -
* I used Garden Green ink for the trees. Ink the stamp, stamp off then stamp the tree on the cardstock. Ink up the detail stamp and stamp on the tree. This creates a two tone look adding depth and dimension to the trees.
* I used the Tree Lot Dies to die cut the trees and the tree trunks. The tree trunks are die cut from Crumb Cake cardstock. These dies are no longer available. The trees are not difficult to fussy cut, and the tree trunks are 1/4” wide x 1/2” long.
CHRISTMAS YETI TO PARTY
SUPPLIES
* Stamp set - Yeti to Party
* Basic White center step cardstock
* Inks - Memento Basic Black, Pool Party; Stampin’ Blend - Pool Party (light), Flirty Flamingo (light), Natural Tones Light (#900); Stampin’ Write Markers - Real Red and Garden Green; Wink of Stella
* Fine Sparkle Adhesive Backed Gems - 3 Pool Party
NOTE - The Stampin’ Blends alcohol I k will bleed through the Basic White cardstock. This issue can be avoided by using a separate piece of Basic White cardstock that measures 4 1/8” x 3 3/8” for the focal image. Simply adhere it to the card front- there will be a 1/8 “ border around the focal panel. The placement of the greeting will need to be adjusted. Watch the video for my “after the fact” fix.🙂 Another solution is the following card.
