Hello friends! I'm here today with a faux step card. The advantage is that it is easier to make than a real step card but the disadvantage is that it does not fully open. Basically it's a "slice" of a regular card attached to an accordion-folded card made from an 8 x 5.5 piece of card stock scored at 3, 6 and 7; its overall measurements are still 4.25 x 5.5 inches so it will still fit into a standard sized envelope.
Here's what the card looks like from the side. The vertical portion adheres on the bottoms to the accordion portion and the rest remains free. If you've got part of a card started already, you're halfway there!
Those gorgeous Craft Consortium Sunset red-oranges are what inspired this project. LOVE those bold, beautiful poppies!
This portion of the card seemed made for this sentiment stamped onto fishtail banners! A perfect fit!
Here's a peek at the inside, and it *is* just a peek. It will not stay open; it is meant to stand for display. If you wanted to, you could make the back be the spot for a sentiment and signature and ignore this inside part altogether. Either the inside or the outside would be a good spot to adhere a gift card pocket!
