Whimsy and Stars Step Card

Happy Sunday! The flu bug seems to be leaving our house, so that is a good thing! 

I had these two cute little images printed out and just sitting on my desk (they are Molly's Cupcake and Alex Birthday from Whimsy and Stars). I was looking at them yesterday and thinking they would be cute together. I decided to make a side step card (with a step on each side), after looking at lots of side step card directions, I just kind of winged it. I used some of my hoarded SU Jersey Shore DSP for this. So funny cause the name "Jersey Shore" has a new meaning now thanks to Snookie and the Situation, lol!


Here is a side view of the card. On this pic, you can see the crystal effects on the balloons, shoes and cupcake as well as some glitter on her ponytail holders and flower. This really wasn't hard to make, once I figured it out. Even my 7 year old was impressed, saying, "Wow, Mom, it's 3-D!" Think I'll definitely make these for kids' birthday parties we are invited to.


Thanks so much for dropping by today. Hope you are having a wonderful weekend!
