Stamping & Scrapping in California: Family Step Card

Hello Rubber Cafe' Fans!

Kristine here today with my final card that I made with the November Kit of the Month Club from, The Rubber Cafe'.
This month's kit called Love Makes You a Family!

The kit includes Echo Park's 6x6 pad- The Story of Our Family by Designer Lori Whitlock, and tons of amazing ribbons and mini Distress Inks!

For today I used the stamps from the Creative Cafe' Kit, Family Tree stamp set, and the add on set Home Sweet Home.

I haven't made a stair step card in a while and this months kit seemed perfect for one so here's what I came up with.

To create this card I started with an 8 1/2" x 5 1/2" piece of dark brown cardstock.

I used my Scor-pal to score the panel at:

1 5/8"-3 1/8"-4 7/8"-6 1/4"-7 3/4"

Fold the card so that it looks like this.

I forgot to take pics as I was doing the decorating at the beginning but basically, measure each section and then trim patterned paper slightly smaller to fit.

Adhere with Scrap Happy Glue .

Stamp the sentiment with the Peacock Feather distress ink and Memento Tuxedo Black ink.

Die cut with Classic Circle die. Back with two layers of die cut scallop panels and then glue to the card with Scrap Happy Glue.

Tie ribbon around the bottom of the card.

Create a sentiment panel by stamping the sentiment with Memento Tuxedo Black ink on an oval die cut panel. Back with two layers of scallop die cut oval panels and then adhere with Scrap Happy. Glue
