Re-post - Red and Purple Mother's Day Side Step

Recently I posted this card that I made for a Red Hat Lady but unfortunately during the time that blogger was down for a couple of days, it disappeared AND never came back. This card is the same design and uses the same size Cricut cuts as the pink/lavender card which you can view here . Just wanted to share how it looks with red and purple! Hmm--I like both color combos!

Mother's Day Side Step Card

I really like to make the side step cards and I thought this would be a nice Mother's Day card for my mother-in-law. She loves working in her flower gardens and has such beautiful flowers.

The card starts with a piece of blue Colorbok cardstock cut at 5 1/2 x 8 1/2. Mary at Cardz TV has an excellent tutorial for making a side step card.

Cricut cartridges:

Bloom - Fence 2 cut 3 3/4, Flower box 1 cut at 1 3/4 (purple flower box), Flower box 2 cut at 2 inches ( pink flower box)

Lacy Labels - Hello label cut at 3 1/4 inches. This is the second cut on the second row.

Mother's Day 2010 - Happy Mother's Day cut 2 1/2 inches.

Paper Doll Dress Up - Grass on page 78 (Tab feature using the shift key) cut at 1 1/4 inches. I trimmed some of lower edge so it would not be so tall. Hat on page 38 cut using the flip function at 3 inches.

Walk In My Garden - Shovel on page 106 cut 1 1/2 inches.

Cuttlebug Folders:

Distressed stripes - fence

Swiss Dots - hat and white label

Lots of inking, some faux stitching, and pop dots for dimension complete the card.

I have trouble trying to photograph these card styles. I am posting a photo to show the side steps.
