The Elephant Parade in the New Annual Catalogue is such a cute set, I just had to play with it and make a step card.

Cutting and instructions to create this card:

• Card base is Smokey Slate cut at 8 1/2 x 5 1/2
• Score and cut card stock as in the template below

• Cut a piece of DSP from the 6×6 Assortment pack in Balmy Blue at 5 3/8″ x 4 1/8″
• Cut a section out of the DSP that is 3 1/4″ x 2″
• Attach to the front of the step card with liquid glue
• Cut another piece of the DSP that is 1 7/8″ x 1″ and attach it to the step behind the first step
• Cut the last piece of DSP, 1 7/8″ x 2″ and attach to the back of the last step
• Stamp and color the Elephants, mouse and the leaves with Stampin Blends
• The tree trunk is from the Sweet Songbirds stamp set, stamped in Early Espresso ink and fussy cut
• Die cut the grass in Old Olive and Granny Apple Green card stock, sponge the edges with Old Olive ink
• Die cut some peanuts in Crumb Cake card stock and lightly sponge with Crumb Cake
• Die cut the clouds using the Waves dies in the Pearlescent Specialty Paper
• Arrange the Elephants, tree, leaves, grass, mouse and clouds, popping them up with dimensionals
• Stamp a sentiment in Memento Black and attach to the card with dimensionals
• Add some colored Basic Rhinestone to the card for some bling
