Autumn Wishes – How to Make this Diamond Stepper Card – Impressions Abloom – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demo – UK.

If you love creating cards with plenty of dimension and visual impact, then you’re going to enjoy making this Diamond Stepper Card. It’s an eye-catching design that really shows off patterned paper, sentiments, and layered florals. Best of all, it folds flat for posting but stands beautifully when displayed.
The Diamond Stepper Style
The Diamond Stepper Card is designed with raised diamond-shaped panels that step up towards the back. This creates a striking, tiered effect that makes your flowers and sentiments the star of the show. It’s a brilliant way to take your cardmaking to the next level.
Two Seasonal Designs
I’ve made two variations of this card—one for autumn and one for Christmas:
- Autumn Wishes Card – This version is made in Pretty Peacock and Old Olive. The bold teal florals paired with leafy greens give a rich seasonal feel, perfect for sending autumn greetings.
- Merry Christmas Card – For the festive version, I used Cherry Cobbler and Old Olive. The deep red florals are beautifully traditional and pair perfectly with the greenery and berries in the background.

Florals and Foliage
The layered flowers and leaves are all created using the Impressions Abloom Dies. The detailed embossing on the petals and leaves adds texture and interest, while the crisp white centres give a clean finishing touch.
Sentiments that Shine
Both cards feature large die-cut sentiments from the Words of the Season Dies. The metallic finish makes them sparkle and ensures they really pop against the patterned paper.
Background Paper
The background layers use the Elegant Pines Snowflake Designer Series Paper. This paper features pinecones, berries, and foliage—making it incredibly versatile for both autumn and Christmas projects.
These cards are fun to make and a joy to give. Imagine the delight when your recipient opens an envelope to find such a unique and dimensional card—it’s a keepsake in itself!
