One Sheet Wonder Series - Cards L, M, & N

This is it, the last week of the One Sheet Wonder Series. I hope you have enjoyed following along and making all these fabulous cards.

Just starting out? I have done all the measuring for you and have prepared cutting diagrams to help you get the most from your cardstock and DSP. Cut the cardstock and DSP and label them with the letter on the diagram. Then sort them by letter so you have all the pieces you need for assembling each card. I also have some general directions for all cards as well as specific directions for each card - including the folding technique.
Here are the cards for this week:

Card L - Standard Side Fold
Card base:

1. Start with a card base cut 5 1/2" x 8 1/2"
2. Score at 4 1/4"
3. Fold in half on the score line.
4. Embellish!

Card M - Front Step Card
Card base:

1. Start with a card base cut 5 1/2" x 8 1/2"
2. See the instructions for the cutting and scoring diagram.

Card N - Double Dutch Fold Card
Card base:

1. Start with a card base cut 4 3/16" x 9 1/4"
2. Score at 5 1/2"
3. Cut a second piece of cardstock measuring 2 x 8 1/2"
4. Score that piece at 2 1/8" and 6 3/8"
5. Layer the first piece in the center of the second piece and adhere on the back.
6. See this Tutorial is you need more information:

DOstamper STARS #100 and Blog Candy!!

Hello. Welcome to another Thursday DOstamper STARS Challenge. This is Challenge #100!! Hooray!! And on top of that, I have some blog candy to give away. We are featuring a sketch challenge this week.

Here is my first Christmas card of the year:

I thought I would try using a fun fold for this special challenge. I am using the Double Dutch Fold. It is actually a lot easier than it looks. Here are the instructions for the card base:

1. Cut two pieces measuing 4 3/16" x 9" and 2" x 8 1/2"
2. Score the first piece at 5 1/2". Score the second piece at 2 1/8" and 6 3/8".
3. Layer the first piece over the second piece. Adhere the pieces together on the backside.
4. Embellish!
5. Here is a link if you need more help: http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/resources/tutorials/doubledutchfold/

I actually made the card base in the first Step 4 3/16" (that is just less than 4 1/4") x 9 1/2". This allowed me to use the Scallop Edge Border Punch.

Here is the card with the top panel open:
