Violet Dreams Side Stepper Birthday Card

No Comments

I am calling this card a Side Stepper card as I cut a base for a stepper card, but it wasn’t the size I wanted and I didn’t want to throw it away, so I figured out another way to use it.  This card uses the Violet Dreams designer series paper and the Framed Violets stamps and dies along with the Stitched Rectangle dies, all from Stampin’ Up. 

To create this card, you just need a few things:

  • Secret Sea card stock (2025-2027 In Color Stampin’ Up)
  • White card stock
  • Violet Dreams designer series paper (July 2026 Online Exclusive Stampin’ Up)
  • Framed Violets stamp set (July 2026 Online Exclusive Stampin’ Up)
  • Stitched Rectangle dies (retired Stampin’ Up)
  • Secret Sea Ink (2025-2027 In Color Stampin’ Up)
  • Adhesive-baked Blooms embellishments (July 2026 Online Exclusive Stampin’ Up)
  • Scoring board or scoring blade for paper trimmer
  • Paper trimmer
  • Adhesive of choice

From a piece of Secret Sea card stock cut a card base to 5 ½” x 10 ¼” and score at 1 ¼”, 2 ½”, 4 ¼” and 6”.  With the large section as your back, fold the next section in and then accordion fold from there to form your stepper card base.  Use the 1 3/8” x 1 ¾” stitched rectangle die to cut another piece of Secret Sea card stock for your front label.  From white card stock cut one of each of the following:  4 1/8” x 5 3/8”, 1 5/8” x 5 3/8”, 1 1/8” x 5 3/8” and 1 1/8” x 1 ½”.  Then use the 3 1/8” x 4 ½” die to cut two pieces and then the 2” x 3 ¼” to cut another. 

With the Violet Dreams designer series paper pack find the Secret Sea polka dot paper and the Secret Sea violets paper.  From the polka dot paper cut a piece to 4” x 5 ¼” and another to 1 ½” x 5 ¼”.  Then use the 1 ½” x 3” stitched rectangle die to cut another piece.  From the violet paper cut a piece to 1” x 5 ¼” and then use the stitched rectangle die measuring 2 ¾” x 4 1/8” to cut another violets piece. 

Now let put this together, starting with your card base and the large 4 1/8” x 5 3/8” piece of white card stock and adhere to the back panel and the then adhere the 4” x 5 ¼” polka dot piece to the white piece.   Take the 1 5/8” x 5 3/8” white strip and adhere the 1 ½” x 5 ¼” polka dot piece to that.  Adhere this to the third panel of your card base, or the front middle section.  Then take the 1 1/8” x 5 3/8” white strip and adhere the 1” x 5 ¼” violet piece to it, and then adhere that to the first front panel of your card base. 

Now take one of the 3 1/8” x 4 ½” white stitched rectangle pieces and adhere the 2 ¾” x 4 1/8” violet stitched rectangle piece to it.  Now close the middle panel and adhere the left about 1” to the middle panel with it centered on all sides.  Take the second white 3 1/8” x 4 ½” white piece and adhere to the back center of the back panel, aligned with the center panel so that it doesn’t show.  Adhere your small rectangle polka dot piece to the last white rectangle piece and adhere the left side about 1/4” to the front panel, centering over your middle panel. 

Take the “happy birthday to you” greeting stamp from the Framed Violets stamp set and stamp on a piece of white piece you cut to 1 1/8” x 1 ½” in Secret Sea ink.  Adhere it to the Secret Sea stitched rectangle measuring 1 3/8” x 1 ¾” and then adhere that to your front polka dot panel overhanging about ¾”.  Add three of the Fresh Freesia floral embellishments from the Adhesive-backed Blooms embellishments around the front polka dot panel.   

For the inside use a birthday greeting stamp of your choice, I use “wishing you the best today and always” greeting stamp which is an old wood block stamp from Stampin’ Up, but I don’t know the name of the set it came from. 

For starting out as a mistake I love the way this card turned out and can’t wait to give it to a friend for their birthday.
