Hmmm, I don't recall Lynn saying that staples, large amounts of glue, and adding a base were requirements for a Stair Step card...but that's what I needed on my first go around! I think having a bone folder would have helped to keep the creases, but alas I do not! So staples, glue, and a base it was! This card is what I call a "Fantasy Card"...I don't know who I could send it to in the shape it's in, but it was fun making it! Maybe if I attend a housewarming party, I could stick it to the top of a gift...or maybe the cake, hee!

I didn't get any time to craft today, but hopped in to take a look at today's gallery. Even if you needed staples and glue - it's still a great looking card. Those little rabbits are so cute and I agree with the previous comment - the papers add a real *Home Sweet Home* feel to the card.

This is adorable! I love this paper (made some origami tags out of this same stuff last year and they were some of my favorites)..but it is definitely thick stuff and difficult to crease! A girl's gotta do what a girl's gotta do! Came out so cute!
