Thank you centre stepper card | Polkadoodles

Hello everyone!

Today is the time for another challenge on the Polkadoodles Challenge Blog. We, as the design team, have been asked to create a “Thank you” card. For this card, I combined two digital stamps, perfect for a centre stepper card. I used Honeypie Sweet Flower Bouget and parts of the digital stamp Surprise Gifts. I noticed that the Surprise Gifts digital stamp has the same flowers as Honeypie’s bouquet, so I wanted to use only the flowers from the Surprise Gifts stamp. In this article, I explain how I created this centre stepper card.

I will link all the Polkadoodles products I used below.

Let’s get into it.

Above you can see the stepper card template. The red lines are the score lines and the blue lines are the cut lines.

1. As you can see from the template, you will need one piece of paper measuring 8.5 inches by 5.5 inches. Mark on the short side with your pencil at 1 inch. Now mark on both long sides at 1 inch, 2, inches, 4.25 inches and 5.25 inches. The blue line you cut. So, the blue line is between 1 inch and 5.25 inches. You do this on both sides. The red lines are the score lines.
2. Mountain folds the 1st Score line, valley folds the second and Mountain folds the last score lines.
3. Cut the brown papers. Cut 5.25 inches by 0.75-inch piece. 2 pieces of 3 inches by 1 inch. And one piece 2.75 inches by 3 3/16 inches.
4. Cut the pieces of pattern paper. 2 pieces of 2.75 inches by 0.75 inches. And 1 piece 2.75 inches by 3 inches.
5. Cut one strip of white card stock measuring 5 1/8 inch by 5/8 inch.

Glue this on your base card, and your base card will look like this.

• Skin: Peachy blush, Salmon Pink and Barely Beige.
• Hat, jacket socks, and leaves: Yellow Green, Pale Green, Spectrum Green, Forest Green.
• Bow, Flowers and Shoes: Bright Apricot, Warm Coral, Cherry Pink and Rose Red.
• Hair: Caramel, Brown Grey, Walnut, Clay.

I used two digital stamps from Polkadoodles.

The first digital stamp is the Honeypie Sweet Flower Bouquet. I used this stamp in its entirety. The second stamp is Surprise Gifts. From this stamp, I only used the flowers. You can crop the image in Word or print the whole image and cut off the flowers. I printed the whole stamp this time and later cut the flowers off. I did this because I wasn’t quite sure which parts of the flowers to use.

I printed the sentiment on white DCP paper. And then trimmed it to the piece needed for the front of the centre stepper card.

Now it’s time to assemble this card. I placed all the pieces where I wanted them to go. The card is now finished.

Thank you so much for visiting my blog. I hope you like the card. Let me know in the comments.

Happy Crafting!

Creating this spooky centre stepper card was a fun and rewarding process. I hope you enjoyed following along!

Handmade cards, especially for a thank-you, add a unique and personalized touch that store-bought cards just can’t match. Each element and detail reflects the care and creativity you put into making it.
