The Next Level and Cuddly Buddly DT" Stair Step Annie" card plus a few challenge entries and some "comment candy"!



Hello!
Thanks for dropping by!
Today's project was done for "The Next Level" challenge blog as a DT example of a "stair step fold" card. I hope you will go check out the other fabulous DT cards and join us in this week's TNL challenge. They are really fun to make!
I used one of the adorable newly released stamps from "Cuddly Buddly" for my image. I am one of the "Crafty Friends" over there.
The papers are: "The Paper Studio's So-So Sweet", Bazzill Dots", and Core'dinations.
The butterflies are from "K&Company" and the flowers were hand punched.

This card is also entered in 5 challenges...
ABC Challenge...S is for Summer (Daisies and butterflies remind me of summer)
Creative Inspirations Challenge...Paper piecing (I Popped the heart, her bow, feet, and flowers)
Lilly of the Valley Challenge...Paper piecing (I Popped the heart, her bow, feet, and flowers)
All Sorts Challenge...Wings (Butterflies everywhere!)
The Secret Crafter Saturday Challenge...Pink and Green (used 'em!)

If you have a second or two to spare, please be a dear and leave a comment. They really make my day. As a little surprise, sweet Kim McFarland @ Cuddly Buddly has given me some extra stamps to share with you. Everyone who posts a comment under this blog by the morning of Sunday, June 28th, gets entered for a chance to win the first of those stamps. It is the adorable "Annie's Heart" like the one I used on this project.



All you have to do is comment for a chance! If you are not the lucky winner, you can still get one at "Cuddly Buddly.com".
Thanks and Hugs! ;)
