Stair Step Surprise Easel Card

Hi all!  Welcome to the YNS After Party, now known as the DT Dare!  This time our dare is to use the colors Red, White and Green.  I wanted to use the Gingerbread House Die Set again, as well as the gingerbread family from Sweet Holiday Greetings.  I decided to do a Stair Step card, but then I wanted the back panel to be tall, so I changed to a Stair Step Easel card.  Then for fun, I decided to throw in a surprise panel on the inside to hold the steps in place.  Here’s what the card looks like closed:

The “from all of us” sentiment is from Smiley Happy Critter Crew Set Four.  Here’s what it looks like open, from the front (you can see the surprise element on the inside has a different sentiment and the 2 gingerbread kids):

And here it is open, at an angle:

 

And here’s a little video with some measurements and basically how I put the card together:

This is also for Creative Card Crew – Christmas Joy.
