Truthfully, I didn't really consider this set for quite awhile when the catalog came out, but after looking at it and thinking of possibilities, I jumped in and ordered both.
The technique is called a Stair Step Card, and uses a Martha Stewart grass punch, as well as my Spectrum Noir markers. LOTS of Spectrum Noir markers, as you will see. :)
The two bunnies and hot air balloons weren't so daunting, but when I stamped and started on the egg border, I almost didn't finish it - it took me 3 1/2 days of work to get all the egg borders colored. On top of that, I fussy cut each one. Just a comment about that - I really do love how the alcohol markers blend! They give such pretty effects.
Why so daunting? I made 7 of these cards for family members. They went out in the mail this past week, so they should have arrived by now.
Every Egg border (including the two individual eggs-cut off to fit card front)
HB1,2,3; CT1,2,3; CR1,2,8; PP1,2,4; TB1,2; LG1,2,3,4; TN1,2; and BT1,2.
The boy bunny: TB1,2,6; CT1,2 LY1,3; LG2,3,4; HB1,2,3; BT1; PP1,2; and IG1
The girl bunny: TN2,3; LY1,3; PP1,2; LG2,3; and BP 1
Hot Air Balloon: HB1,2,3; PP1,2; TN1,2; LG1,2; PP2,3; BT3,4.

Wow, you are a dedicated crafter! The card is quite beautiful, and the step design is eye catching! The time and effort put into these cards is priceless! You're family is going to love it. I'm a cricut gal at heart too, but am starting to get into stamping.
Thanks so much, Diane!
I started stamping as a way to add greetings and inking to my Cricut cards - now I do less Cricut, and more stamping and alcohol ink coloring.
Cricut still gets a work-out sometimes! :)
Thanks for your wonderful comment!!
