3 Step Card!

  I have used the 3 Step Card to make my Mom's Mother's Day card.  I used Tim Holtz's die to make the rosette and Spellbinder's die for the back of the rosette.  The paper is from My Mind's Eye.  I really love their paper!  It's a little more expensive but it really is FABULOUS paper!  Wow, I put alot of metal on this card!  I have had it kicking around and decided it was time to use it.  The leaves are from Marianne Design- another company that I have fallen in love with! You can find another sample of the 3 Step Card at Marianne's blog located here-

I did change the dimensions on my card.  Marianne's card is beautiful but it is really a large card!  My card is a 6" square card when folded.  That worked best for me.  If you want to make my card you would use a piece of card stock 6" x 10".   Put your card stock in your cutter with the short side on top.  You will be cutting 2 inches in from the side on both sides.  Print out the picture of STEP ONE from the instructions and make the following adjustments-

SCORE-

A-B = 2 inches

C-D = 4 inches

E-F= 4 inches

G-H = 2 inches

CUT-

B-E = 4 inches

D-G= 4 inches

Here are a few more pictures of my card.   Don't hestitate to leave a comment if  you have any questions!

Queenie's Mother's Day card

I have been working on my Mother-in-Law's Mother's Day card!  I have discovered Marianne Design dies and I love them!  I do use wax paper between the die and the card stock with the leaves die.  This helps the die cut to just fall out!  It is sooo much easier with wax paper.  Lesson learned for me!  I saw the sentiment somewhere and, forgive me, I don't remember where but I really liked it.  I made a couple of little boo-boos but I still really liked how it came out.  You can find the instructions for this Double Box Fold card on Marianne's blog -
