To create this card:
1) Cut your Center Step Card from Kraft card stock.
2) Cut two strips of green plaid paper .75" x 6.
Cut one strip in half for each side.
Trim the additional strip to 5.25" for the bottom.
3) Cut the center piece of green printed card stock to 3.25" x 4.00".
4) Stamp Family & Friends with black ink onto cream card stock.
Allow to dry and cut out with Labels Seventeen.
5) Die cut a few sets of Poinsettias. I didn't use the larger one in the set.
Just the 3 smaller ones.
**Instead of using the regular embossing feature with the
embossing mats, I used a stylus to create the embossed
texture in the Poinsettias. This caused the paper to be a
little shiny from the rubbing as opposed to just embossed.
Roll the petals of the flowers over any rounded object to
make them curl. Glue them together in the center.
Add a crystal or gem.
6) Cut a few Sprigs out of green card stock. I love to use these
paper pads because the papers are all so wonderfully coordinated!
Just flip them over to use a corresponding color or print on the back!
7) Assemble the card. I usually just tear the Sprigs and poke them
under the flowers, positioning them "just so". :0)

Welcome to my blog. I've been married to Gary for 40 years. We have a 25 year old Criminal Justice college grad and an 18 month old puppy.
I've been creating in some form since I was a child. It started with crochet, sewing, macramé and beading. Turning down a scholarship to the Fashion Institute of Technology, I became a business major managing several major corporations during my career; however, I always kept my crafty endeavors.
I love to teach classes and can be found teaching in my craft room as well as my local stores.
