Center Step Cards: Bonjoir France

Hi everyone!  Lis here with a new type of card that is very popular these days: it's called a center step card. (Actually there is also a side step. I hope to make some of those later.)

  What is cool about these cards is that they have a center that pops out which gives it a 3-D appearance.  I also like the sides.  It allows me to add contrasting papers which really add flair to these cards.

Here is a side view.  You can get a better idea of the construction of the card.  I used a premade/precut card and envelope set to make this card.  (Hot off the Press). I noticed that Sizzix has come out with a steel rule die for this shape as well. there is also a thin die for these that also cuts the pattern in the card stock.
It is also easy to fold and cut your own.

Here is the inside of my card.




Close up !

I found a roll of acrylic clear gems on a roll in the fabric store.  That's where I got the acrylic/black decoration from .


Hope you enjoyed this card. Come back next weekend for another one.
