White Christmas Part 5 – Sam’s Centre Step Card!

Sorry for the Stars interruption to the series….. but almost finished my White Christmas series now….

This card I love…. both visually and technically…. but I can’t take much of the credit for it….. this was a swap card made by the lovely and uber-talented Sam Wilson from our last Team Training. It caused rather a stir… there were lots of audible gasps as it was handed over! Here is Sam’s card below….a complete stunner!

So why did I change such a beautiful card…. mainly because I needed it to take less time in the class…as you can see from this series I had lots of cards for my ladies to make!

So I had to remove some of the steps…. for example – using the All is Calm papers instead of embossing … and then I made a sample with the foil dots and the room lit up!! Literally… you should see these glisten when they hit the light….. I couldn’t really catch that in a photo…. but I am sure you get the idea….

Hope you are not upset with me Sam! Thank you for sharing this card with me….. It really is a very clever centre step card format…. that remains standing up nice & proud… one that will be repeated another day….

Edited to Add – here is a link to Sabrina’s imperial tutorial for the card. Thank you for such a wonderful card & step by step tutorial Sabrina. I really love this card!

The only things I will add are that …

• Sam & I just cut from  1” to 7 1/2” on either side (not the 1” to 8 1/2” stated in the tutorial – just found it simpler that way)
• the back centre panel is a 2 7/16” x 4 7/8” coloured card panel & a 2 3/16”x 4 5/8” Whisper White or DSP panel
• the front panel is 6 3/4” x 1 1/4” with a hand cut wavy edge … with the optional banner sentiment at 6 3/4” x 3/8”
• then 2 1/2” x 1 1/2” for the middle panel. Again with a hand cut wavy edge.
• the 2 side panels are 2” x 4 3/4”
