I had a blast making this card. I enjoyed the
TriShutter Card I made last week for my mom's birthday and it got a great reaction from my her so I decided to step out of my box again with my Dad's card and try the Stair Step Card.
I utilized the tutorial on Splitcoaststampers.com for the
Stair Step Fold. It is actually very easy. I decided to make a humorous card and use the old man image from Gina K. Designs You Know Your Old set. I did the paper piecing technique on his jacket and tie. I also took a second image that I stamped and colored and cut out the cake, gift, and hat and popped them up on the main image with foam squares.
The circles are obviously cut with Spellbinders Nestabilities dies. The base carstock is SU Kraft. The designer paper is all from the Basic Grey Vintage Collection called Vagabond. I used my big scallop EK Success punch also. The black scallop behind the Happy Birthday, is edged with Liquid Glass (CTMH). The black metal dots are from Joann Essentials. I distressed te sentiment panels with Tim Holtz Distress Ink (Tea Dye). The "fiddler" sentiment is a downloadable sentiment from Digiments. I printed it on white card stock, cut it out with the Nestabilities died and trimmed it with a large scallop circle on the Basic Grey stripe paper. It is time for male cards as Father's Day and my Dad's birthday fall in June followed by my husband's birthday in July so I will be making a few male cards. So be sure to check back for more..
