Headstart on Easter cards



I got the Simply Charmed cartridge a few days ago and fell in love with this little chick in the egg.  So I thought I'd start on my Easter cards for my grandkids using this image.  I made a side stair step card so the chick would be the prominent image.  Isn't she so darn cute with that little bit of fluff on the top?  My granddaughter was over visiting one day and she brought this feather boa with her.  By the time she left I had feathers all over the place.  I gathered them up and put them with my supplies thinking one day I might need a feather for something.  See, I knew I could find a use for them!  This is a standard A2 size card when it is folded down.  My chick is cut at 3".  The blue and green dp that I used are from last year's DCWV Spring stack.  I used the Easter 2010 cartridge to cut the Happy Easter at 2".  For the middle step of the card I used the grass cut from the Easter cartridge cut at 1 3/4".  The assorted Easter eggs are hand cut from a dp that has been in my stash for a long time.  I'd love to give credit where credit is due, but there was no brand name on the backside of the paper for me to tell who made it.  This card will probably go to my youngest granddaughter, Paige.

hey fellow DT buddy. I was wondering how you made the stairstep card itself. If you would post or send it to me I would love to try and make some cards using this method. Thanks
