I decided I wanted to try a dresser step card. I have seen many ideas out there in the blog world, but have never tried one. Well, today was the day. I finished my first dresser card for a very special person. I cannot post that one today or they will see it before they receive it in the mail. I promise to post it later this week. In the meantime, I had a practice template card cut out and decided to make that into a Valentine. Not sure who I will send it to yet.
I used several cartridges to embellish and make this little scene.
I am also linking this up to the ABC DT Challenge Blog- Red, White and Pink
Here's how I did it...
Card folded up measures standard A2 size
EK punch for bottom of dress
Dress/layers cut at 2.25" from CM This & That
Slippers/layers cut at 2.25" from CM This & That
Cat/layers cut at 2" from Cindy Lou; face from Peachy Keen
Flowers/layers cut at 1.18" from Shall We Dance
Crown cut at .75" from Shall We Dance
Lace and Ribbon from my stash
Brads from my stash
Stickles and Gel pen doodles
Hearts from CM punch
Well, it is the first Monday of 2012. With the start of a new week and and New Year there are lots of new challenges going on. Today I'm going to try to get a few cards done for my stash using these challenges as inspiration to keep me focused and on track.
First up is a card for the Peachy Keen Let's Face it Friday Challenge and the Make it Monday challenge:Anything Goes over at Kraft Outlet.
I just got the new Creative Memories This & That cartridge.
To order this Cricut Cartridge or any of the other CM Cricut exclusives, click here and when you check out, please select Barb Orvis as the consultant. I would be so greatful.
This cartridge has some super cuts on it and I am anxious to use some for upcoming Valentine's Cards.
I didn't put a sentiment in the inside yet because it could be for a little boys birthday, could be for a family moving into a new home, or many other things. Therefore, I will leave the inside blank until the time comes to use it and then include a sentiment appropriate for the occasion.
The background paper was made by cutting a mat from Kraft paper and then using a stamp from My Pink Stamper, I stamped the words "Under Construction" across it to make my own pattern paper.
Back later with more...
Here's How I did it...
Paper all from my stash
Card base sized and cut using my Gypsy and Lacey Labels
The mat cut from Lacy Labels on the Kraft card stock
Sentiments used are from MPS Boy Crazy stamp set
Face from Peachy Keen Wide Eyed Kids stamp set
Twine from Twinery
Misc Brads and snaps from my stash
Doodles with my pens.
