Baby Girl’s Dresser

I attended the 1st Birthday of the sweetest baby girl last week, “K” and along with her gift I knew that I wanted to create an extra-special card for her. I was able to find inspiration for this super cute Side Step Dresser card from the amazing Jackie Topa & found a wonderful video tutorial at her website: http://jackietopa.typepad.com. I completely forgot to take photos from other angles though so you can’t see the side step very well. I’m also having a hard time giving up my “Cute & Cuddly” bear, he’s just sooo adorable! Since he’s retired, you can create the same effect with the bear from the “Teddy & Train” set.

Supplies Used

  • Ink: Chocolate Chip (100908)
  • Stamps: Cute & Cuddly (retired) – Alternate: Teddy & Train (115219), Jayne’s Type Alphabet (114401)
  • Paper: Whisper White Cardstock (100730), Pretty in Pink Cardstock (101301), Sweet Pea DSP (retired) – Alternate: Nursery Suite Specialty DSP (117165)
  • Accessories: 1/4 Inch Grosgrain Ribbon  Pretty in Pink (109032) & Silver Brads (104336)
