Pink Center Step Card

Welcome to Glenda's Cards!

I am back with another pink card! Can you tell I like pink! This card style is called a Center Step Card. With my last HSN purchase of Anna Griffin Window Box Card Cartridge, I did not sign up for the autoship for the two upcoming cartridges including a Window Frame Card Cartridge. The card base is similar to this center step card. I am happy to see the cartridge will be offered in September!

There are many available tutorials on making the center step card base. One that I have used before is found on SplitCoastStampers. Well, I tried to make one using Cricut Design Space and I am pleased with the results.

Papers are Cricut Green cardstock, Anna Griffin patterned paper, and Recollections pink paper.

Cricut Cartridges:
Used Shapes feature to create the base of card.
Anna's Elegant Embellishments 2 - Lattice Background 4.5" wide x 5. 5" high.
Anna's Fantastic Flipcards   - Using Print and Cut Images
Roses 2.5" wide x 3.35" high. Smaller roses cut 2" wide x 2.68" high. I cut two of each size and pop-dotted one flower on top of second flower to add dimension.
Embellishment - Top left Green image is cut 1.75" wide x 1.042" high.
Bow Embellishment is cut 2.25" wide x 1.264" high from two shades of pink paper.
Anna's Vintage Phrases  - Sentiment "Sweet Surprises" cut 4" wide x 2.273" high.

For finishing touch, I added an adhesive ribbon trim purchased from Michael's. Recollections pearl is added to the bow.

Hope you enjoy! Thanks for your visits and comments!
