Side Step Card Tutorial

Hi everyone!  I have a classic card of Lori’s to show you today and I wanted to show you what an amazing blank canvas these cards are….you can build a scene in just no time with all the goodies from Lori’s collections.  This is Lori’s Side Step Card (Lori’s Shop)  or  Side Step Card (Silhouette Store).  I used Lori’s new Echo Park Little Lady Bug collection.

 

First, cut your card base.  You will have lots of score lines.  Carefully fold on the score line which is on the small section on the left.  This is the one that folds the card in half.
Then with next five score lines, you want to create mountains and valleys.
It should look like this from the side now.
Next, adhere your patterned papers to the side and the steps!
I chose a sentiment from the 6×6 Little Ladybug paper pad to add to my back step.
And from there, it’s just so easy to pull from the stickers and tags to create these little cards that fold flat for mailing and fit it a regular A2 envelope.  I love this bright, fun little card!

Double Gatefold Card Ladybug Tutorial

Hi everyone!  I hope you are all getting rested up from the Holidays!  I have a quick tutorial to share with you today that features Lori’s new Echo Park Collection Little Ladybug.  It’s just so fun, all kinds of darling patterned papers and makes us dream of Spring.  Especially, after our first blizzard of the season here in South Dakota, the day after Christmas.  Oh the Joy!
The file I used today is the Double Gatefold Ladybug Card or here in the Silhouette Online Design Store.
First, cut your pieces with desired papers.
Next, fold in on each score line creating a double fold like this.
You can see here how your card will double open.
Ink the edges of your patterned papers.
And adhere to the cardstock base, add a few enamel dots to the antennas.
Then I just double layered a couple tags from the collection and added a few more enamel dots, and there you have it.  A quick and easy card.  I forgot to take a photo of the envelope, but the file also comes with an envelope that the card fits perfectly.
Who doesn’t love ladybugs?
Thanks for stopping by!
