Prima Engraver - Happy 50th Birthday 5 step card

I made this card for a colleague at work who was celebrating his 50th birthday this year. 

I cracked open my Prima Engraver product that I have collected but not used yet. I loved 

how it came together. I have made a video tutorial on how I learned how to make this 

card for anyone who is interested at the end of this post.

Thanks for looking!

Here is the video and I would love if you follow me on youtube!

Chantilly Stair Step Card including video tutorial

I came across this style of card originally on the Magnolia-licious Facebook page. I could not wait to learn how to make one of my own.

For my card, I used the Close To My Heart Chantilly paperpack, coordinating chipboard pieces, sparkles and the stamp sets used were Fashionista and Happy thoughts.
