Spring/Easter Cards

The cards I made all reflect upcoming Spring! In North Dakota it seems like we just started winter in March; we have had a wonderful winter season so far! It is nice to know that whatever cold, wintery weather we get now will soon melt away to Spring!

All four cards I made I used the paper from the sale-a-bration catalog from Stampin' Up! So many beautiful colors to work with!

~Dresser Cards~

I had a lot of fun making these "dresser" cards. I saw a picture from 'Michelle's Craft Classes' blog who lives in Australia; but she didn't have dimensions for the large dresser with the 'stained glass'; so I spent quite a while figuring out the dimensions. The center sidestep dresser card was inspired by Jackie Topa. I made this card for a friend of mine whose birthday is coming up.

'Side step Dresser Birthday Card'

Baby Girl Dresser Card

Inside stained glass baby card

Birthday Dresser Card

Inside Stained glass drawer

If anyone would want to recreate the 'stained glass' dresser, here are the dimensions I came up with:

Dresser Card

• 8 ½ x 5 ½ card base; scored at 4 ¼

• 4 x 4 ½ big panel

• 3 7/8 x 1 1/8 - 2 bottom drawers

• 7 ¾ x 1 ½ top drawer; scored at 2” and 5 7/8”. I used the 1 ¼ square punch to punch out ‘windows’

• 3 ¾ x 1 3/8 for inside insert on top drawer

1 ½ x 1 ¾ vellum textured window

Happy Stampin'!!
