Petal Park Faux side and center step card.

The side step and center step cards are fun to make but cutting the center line or trhe sides and putting score lines all different was really confusing to a lot of people including me- so I just love this fun fold that requires none of the center cutting.  

For this cardbase you need a 8 1/2 x 5 1/2" cardstock- basically a half sheet- hwere it was mango melody

-score along the 8 1/2 inch side at 3, 6 and 7 1/4".   Fold to create 2 mountains as shown.  

Cut another piece of matching cardstock 6 x 2 7/8 but you can make it wider if you want and score along the 6 inch side at 4 1/4. 

I put a layer of Dandy Design DSP on the middle panel as shown

 5 1/4 x  2 3/4. 

stamp the leaves on t piece of white cardstock 4 x 2 3/4 (here with another strip of DSP on the bottom_ but you can make it 4 1/8x 2 3/4 if you want it to cover the whole front.  

stamp the flowers on a sheet of scrap paper and punch it out and mount using dimensionals- I stamped it using Calypso coral and mango melody for the solid part

Stamp the sentiment on a scrap piece of piece 

if youwant to mount it in the center it looks like this.

You just tape it in the front panel and on the back panel as shown and you can put it anywhere on the card- left middle or on the far right. 

I punched extra flowers to put them on each side of the sentiment and the sentiment was mounted on diecut oval and scalloped oval dies.  Set some pearl jewesl in the center of the flowers to add some dimension.  So easy!
