The Dresser

Hello everyone!

You know I have neglected this blog but I'm so busy doing other things like swaps, co-hosting a group over at Stampin' Dymonz Scrap Shack and trying to keep up with Tellen's Place...*sigh* But at least I'm having fun! Lots of things are happening at the Village - come and join us! ;-)

I've made this type of stair step card before and thought I'd add it to the Star Step Fold card we did the other weekend. My Graphic 45 die cut fit perfectly in that space and to me it gives the feeling of a nice antique.

I hope you like it. Thanks for stopping by!

Happy Crafting! :~)

Something Really Cute...

Good morning lovely crafters!

I hope you are having a great start to your week! I am!

I really miss taking card class from my friend, KT. She has a great blog with really cute and crafty cards for all occasions. She made a really great card that stayed in my mind. Check her blog and see what I mean. It is just too adorable. This morning, she show cased another like it for Halloween and included the tute in one of her posts.

I just had to try it, myself. I was thoroughly surprised that it actually came out. Did I ever tell you that I had trouble making the easel card and have never tried to do one again (but I will try one day)? Well, this little baby gave me a little trouble folding the step and aligning the drawers right.

I inked the outside of the card and the drawers with TH's antique linen distressing ink. The paper on the side is old - can't remember where it's from. The inside was inked as well and the scallop punch is from Stampin' Up! I used my SU! flower punch on the left side and my MS iron gate punch on the right side. The sentiment was printed from my computer. You can bet I'll be making a few more of these.

I hope you liked this - would love to see yours if you make one. Have a lovely day! ;~)
