Here is another fun and easy "fancy" card idea, that will look like you spent more time on it than you actually did.
These "stepped cards are easy to make, with this template.
Using the dimensions shown, for a half sheet of card stock, score along the dashed lines. Then cut along the long score line, between the 6 1/4" score line (6), and the 1 1/4" score line (2), using a paper trimmer or X-Acto knife.
Crease the paper into "mountains and valleys", as shown, to create a series of steps.
Add decorative paper to the side of the card and to the steps, as desired.
You can ink your edges, if you like, or leave them clean -- it's up to you. Add a card stock mat to the last step -- make sure it won't be too tall to fit your envelope.
Add images, die-cuts, stamps, sentiments, and embellishments.
The most time-consuming part about making this card was fussy cutting the telephone!
All the other steps went pretty fast. In just a few minutes, you will have a lovely stepped card, ready to drop in the mail!
