Hello Friend

Hi Everyone! I am up first this month with the first project from the April Creative Cafe kit of the month! With April's kit, we've taken a Vintage flair, teamed up with a wonderful 6x6 pad from Echo Park, I think you'll be very inspired!

The kit is called Good Times to Follow, and the exclusive coordinating stamp sets this month are amazing Vintage Findings and Those were Good Times.

I used the add on set for my center step card today.

To create my card I started with a 11" x 4 1/4" panel of red cardstock.
I used my Scor-Pal to score on all the vertical lines and cut on the two horizontal lines.
Score on (1", 2" 5 1/2" and 6 1/2" and then cut 1 1/2" on the horizontal)

After cutting and scoring I was left with this center step card base.

I added patterned paper to the base.

Then I tied ribbon that is included with this months kit around the base of the card.

Then I stamped the dress form on a white panel and on a piece of patterned paper.

I cut out the patterned paper and then adhered it to the stamped image.

I adhere the completed paper pieced panel to the center panel of the step card.

Then I stamped the sentiment on a punched oval panel and backed it with a punch red oval before adhering to the card. I added some of the echo park dots along the side panels.

I just love center step cards. Such an easy way to create a spectacular card that anyone would be thrilled to receive!

I hope you enjoyed today's Creative Cafe' kit card! Lot's more amazing cards are coming from the lovely ladies on the design team so be sure an check back soon!
