hello everyone! i'm back with another fun challenge card! this time, it's for TSG60-a Stair Step card! this is another type of card that i'd never tried before! 2 in one week- WooHoo- how i love learning new things!
some of my very favorite clear stamp sets are from There She Goes- you HAVE to check them out (some faves are Loads of Fun, A Woman's Place, Domestic Goddess, Tastes Like Chicken- betcha totally burst out laughing) this time, i'm using the lovely What's Up Buttercup set
Beate at Splitcoast has another amazing tutorial on how to construct the stair step card base and her tutorials are so awesome with full photos & a complete video too- like she's in the room making it with you- just love 'em!
anyway- i kept it pretty simple & straightforward since this was my first attempt at this card and i really enjoyed it. these would be awesome at any dinner party- they can go from whimsical & funny to wedding elegant and i love anything someone can stand up on their desk for a bit and think of you for a bit after you send it- way cool!

This is beautiful Gabbe....love the Buttercups - they look just gorgeous.
This is such a lovely card! You've colored up those buttercups beautifully! Your stair-step card is terrific! :D
wow, you did a great job, I'm so lazy I hardly ever do any of the fun folds.
btw, I used the "bloom" card for my cousin's retirement or I'd be sending it off to you. If I ever make it again, your dibbs are in.
