This fun fold card is easy to create and looks so pretty too

Hi fellow crafters! I love when I get an email from one of my Pinterest followers , asking me to feature a fun fold technique, so Lavonne this video is for you!  I am going to show you the center step technique, which, once again, is perfect for many occasions.  I will be using my Poinsettia Petals stamp set and matching dies and the Tidings of Christmas designer series paper.

 

 

For the main element on my card I decided to use my Poinsettia Petals stamp set and dies - giving my Center Step card a Christmas theme. 

 

 

The Poinsettia Petals set includes images that help you to create custom poinsettias and messages - I really like the variety of Christmas phrases that I can choose from for my holiday cards. The inset pieces for the leaves and poinsettia layers add interesting and textural details - so cool.

 

I also chose to use my Tidings of Christmas designer series paper (love the colors and designs!):

 

 

The Tidings of Christmas paper pack it's sized just right for card fronts. Each sheet is double-sided for twice the options. One side has seasonal designs; the other has all-occasion basic designs. If you have any left over pieces or sheets after the holidays, you can use the basic designs (non-holiday side) for any other projects you want, such as more cards or accents on scrapbook pages. 

 

Here's my Poinsettia Petals Center Step card:
