Sketch Saturday - Rhino Ready Step Card

I made this fun Step Card for this week’s Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge using the Rhino Ready Bundle. This little rhino is so cute and I love how the dies cut those trees.

 
 

Here’s the sketch that I followed. I didn’t realize it was a Fun Fold at first and then looked on Pinterest to see how to make a Step Card.

 
 

Tips & Instructions

  • Granny Apple Green Card Base - 4 1/4 x 9, scored at 1 1/4, 2 1/2 and 5 3/4. Fold and burnish base

  • Granny Apple Green outside piece 9 x 2 1/2, score at 5 1/2 and fold & burnish.

  • Cut a piece of Hues Of Happiness Designer Series Paper with the green and blue colors to 3 x 4 and adhere to the front area of the card base.

  • Cut the green part of a piece of the Hues Of Happiness Designer Series Paper to 4 x 1 and adhere across the bottom of the front fold.

  • Cut 2 trees from Early Espresso and 2 treetops from Granny Apple Green. Adhere the treetops to the trees and then the trees to the front area making sure to only put adhesive on the tree trunks that will be touching the card, there will be some that overhang and you don’t want glue on it.

  • Adhere the 9 x 2 piece of Granny Apple Green Cardstock to the back and front areas of the card base making sure that you only put adhesive on the areas that will attach to the card base. The back piece should be adhere all the way down the back so it’s flush along the bottom.

 
 

Here’s a side view so you can see how it should look when you adhere the outside piece to the card base.

 
 

  • Basic White Front Layer - 5 1/4 x 2 1/4

  • Balmy Blue Front Layer - 5 x 2

  • Cut 3 clouds from Basic White using the Rhino Ready Dies. I think the die I used is for treetops but works for clouds.

  • Stamp rhino on scrap of Basic White with Black Memento Ink and cut using the coordinating die. Color with Smoky Slate Stamping Blends.

  • Stamp 2 of the grassy images with Granny Apple Green Ink and cut with coordinating die. Adhere the clouds and grass to the Balmy Blue Layer and cut any overhang off. Adhere the rhino with Dimensionals.

  • Adhere the blue layer to the white layer and then the white layer to the outside piece.

  • Stamp the sentiment with Black Memento Ink on 1/4 strip of Basic White and adhere just below the rhino.

 
 

Cut a piece of Basic White at 3 x 4 for the inside layer and stamp the sentiment with Black Memento Ink. I added some party blowers with Granny Apple Green Ink.
