A really lovely combo I think! I have a thing for stepper cards at the moment so I made another one for this challenge.
I used Pool Party CS for the base, covered the front step with dotty Limeade paper, stamped the Petite Posies wheel in Pool Party ink on the back panel, added a Limeade strip underneath and a punched Dotted Scallop Ribbon border at the top. I stamped the large flower from the Printed Petals set, cut it out, threaded a Limeade CS strip through the holes of a pink button and added that to the flower centre. I cut the Swirls Scribbles die with Limeade CS, arranged the pieces on the Top Note shape and I popped the flower up with Dimensionals. I stamped the 'thinking of you' and punched it out with the Modern label punch and tied that onto the Whisper White organza ribbon.
I really like stepper cards and just like easel cards they're so easy to make. To make this one I cut a piece of A4 CS in half lengthways and scored one piece in half to form an A6 portrait card with the fold at the top. I then took the other half of the A4 CS and cut it so it was taller than an A6 card in order to get an extra flap piece. (A6 is a tad shy of 15 cms and I cut the piece so it was 18 cms tall). I made two score lines to form the front part and glued the two pieces together to form the complete stepper card. This photo shows a side view of the card and you can see where I've glued the two pieces of CS together.
