I am thrilled to share my latest card design – the faux graduated step card! I love designing unique and handmade cards that bring joy to others!
This particular card design features three small pieces of cardstock, arranged in a staggered manner on the front panel to create the illusion of stairs.
I have two different faux graduated step cards to share with you- one I made for birthdays and another for thinking of you or anniversary occasions – this DIY card is a perfect way to show your creativity and thoughtfulness to your loved ones.
Let’s dive into the details of how you can bring this delightful card to life!
