Interactive Card Hop - Day 1. * Side Ladder

Welcome to the Interactive Card Hop - Day 1!

Hi everyone get ready to see card after card after card. With some so many different types of cards out there sometimes it gets difficult to keep up with. So Monica has gathered a group of fab ladies who will show you samples of cards from just a waterfall card to an elaborate suspension card. This hop is 2 days long with different samples on both days so you wont want to miss either day. Be sure to leave a comment and become a follower on every hop in order to be eligible to her my grand prize. Some ladies will be offering individual blog candy and their rules may be different so be sure to read the specifics and make sure you have fun along the way.

You should have just arrived here from Angie's blog after seeing her Diamond Popup card.  If you have arrived at this blog without starting from the beginning, please go visit Monica, our wonderful host, at her blog.   Be sure to leave a comment and become a follower on every blog in order to be eligible to win the grand prize offered by Monica - it looks so fun and you won't wanna miss the chance to win it. 

I am overly excited to be invited to be a part of this fun blog hop. Up until today I have never made a card like this. I was so scared I wouldn't get it to work because my "practice" one wasn't looking so good. But I finally got it to work and so here is my SIDE LADDER CARD.

Ok I know my ladder is on the wrong side but I like it this way :O) . So I started out with a piece of card stock from DCWV Christmas stack. It is glittery and has small red flowers on it.  Step 1: I cut my CS to 8 1/2 long X 5 1/2 wide. 

Step 2: I placed my CS vertically in the trimmer at 2" and cut a slit from 2 1/4" to 7 1/4".

Step 3: I then placed CS horizontally with the slit to the bottom and scored from the top to the slit at 2 1/4" . I scored the entire card at 4 1/4" then for the remaining 3 score lines I scored at 5 1/2", 6 1/2", and 7 1/4".

Step 4: mountain fold all the score lines until you got "3 steps".

Time to decorate my side ladder card.

I  used a sisters paper piecing I got in a swap. It is made in brown and light pink with a flower behind first S. I attached a flat back pearl to the flower center. I glued a large gem in both bottom corners. Also glued a large flower gem above my last S.

Next I added some Studio18 flower dimensional stickers to my second step. My third step has a light pink die cut from a swap. It says I LOVE YOU. I added a pink gem butterfly up in the right corner of my third step.

For the tall right hand side I used a digi stamp of a butterfly and I colored the same stamp in twice. I then pop dotted the one off the other to make it dimensional.  

Here is a side view. As I said my ladder is on the wrong side and my card is a little wide but I love it.

Here is another view of the whole card .

I will be giving away a small kit to make one of these SIDE LADDER CARD'S as my blog candy. So please become a follower and leave me a comment as to what theme you would want your kit to be. Also please leave me a way to contact you. Mr. Random will draw a winner on the 22nd. 

Please stop back by tomorrow as I will be showing another "interactive"  card.

Now that you have read my extremely long post and hopefully wasn't bored, your next stop on this interactive card hop is for the popup accordion by the very talented  Christel . So please continue on the hop and don't forget to follow and comment on them all for a chance to win Monica's candy and others along the way. 

Thanks for stopping by.
