Elephant Parade - Faux Step Card

Tuesday, 14 June 2022

Do you like making fancy fold cards? I do and the Faux Step Card is one of my favourites. It's so quick and easy compared to a regular step card where you have to figure out how to cut and score a single piece of paper so that it folds into a step card. I don't see "three dimensionally" so I always struggle with this. Here's an easy way to create a Step Card.
