I have been wanting to make a "stair step" card for quite a while now! I've seen dozens of them, all so adorable, on my team site and other places. They look so fun to make, but I have been trying to work diligently on a larger project and just haven't squeezed in the time. Last night I finally did it!!
Do you love it?
This one is just a bit different from the other's I've seen because it displays a photo. But then again, that just may be what I'm loving about it! You may recall my hubby is keeping his "10 Things I Love About You" album at work... well, I'm now picturing this little gem on his desk as well. To be honest, I just grabbed 'any old photo' that I had handy, but wouldn't it be sweet with other photos of our daughters stair stepped in it? It was so fun to put together!
And of course a lot of the fun was using items that I have only recently "discovered." I love our rub-ons. I used them on the frame - the little brown flowers in 2 corners. I also had a lot of fun with our Just Blooms(TM) , the colors were perfect to match the wreath in my hair and pull it into the frame.
Can you believe I poo-poo'd the Clear Sparkles and Pretty Pins when we first got them? Both are now among my very favorite embellishments.

ReplyDeleteI dare not start doing paper crafts!!! I will go bankrupt!!! I love the card and all the embellishments - perfect!! So arty and pretty! Well done, you!

I know!! It looks scary when you look at the supply list I created below the blog, but in reality, you get a lot of stuff with the one or two pieces used on the card, so you have it for the next projects you are working on. Once you have a little bit of an inventory it's not that expensive... but tons of fun!
