Magnolia, Tilda Time – I’m Blessed that you are my friend…

Native American Tilda is so perfect for this time of year.  You can find her at Tilda’s Town.com, HERE. I used her to make a Front Panel step card of some call it a Center Step Card.

I’ve been thinking about this card all week and finally figured out how to cut and fold it with only a couple mess-ups!  I was able to remedy one, because I cut too far, by adding mats on the inside…

Cards that stand up are so fun!  I used a 5.5 x 11 inch piece of card-stock… it’s a type of stair step… diagram below (minus the wrong cuts) lol … I think 6 x 12 inch card-stock would work great too. I used Kraftin Kimmie’s Thankful Sentiment set.  Love these sets! The pattern paper is Max and Whispers from Basic Grey.  I’m linking my card to the Copic Creations Challenge Blog…use brown and create a scene!

Here it is from the side…

Amy’s Trick or Treat Princess…

Pam Sparks24 Comments

I’ve had this card started for a couple weeks…finally got it almost finished earlier in the week but today was “the day” to get it on the brown!  lol  I know,  I use a lot of “brown”!  I like it!  An adorable image by Amy Young for CC Designs… the cutest Baby Trick or Treater.   I hope you can see the detail in this awesome tree die cut too… I’ll post a close up.  Awesome woodgrain (brown) lol!   The grass and the ABC frame are cut on my old original Cricut.  I love the Graphically Speaking cartridge… lots of fun stuff that I have yet to cut!  Martha Stewart’s fence border punch.  The pattern paper is by Bo Bunny and the teeny apples are a Fiskars hand held apple punch.

The close up…

I used the same color combos I always use… boring… hehe  Hair – E50, YR31, 23,24,  Dress – R24, 27, 29, 59,  Skin – E000, 00, 01, itty bitty bit of E21 and I can’t remember what I used on her cheeks this time.  I figure I did good to remember this much! lol
