This is a companion card to my other one of a front door with vellum windows. I started this one but had trouble, so did the other one. With a little more work, this one worked out. The china hutch is made by gluing pieces of cardstock down and "staining" it with medium brown chalk. Knobs are brads. I cut a pocket where the drawers are, so it opens up and says "It's Your Day!". Vellum windows are dry-embossed with a flower pattern to look like etching.

Thanks for all the kind comments, folks! For those asking for a pattern, I did post one in the Resources forum; you can find it here: Forums at Splitcoaststampers

Absolutely incredible. This is such a wonderful card I don't know where to start to sing its praises. Off to my favorites it goes. Where did you get the template for the hutch?
Thanks so much for sharing.
I'm glad you like it. I did not use a template--I just built it from scratch from some scrap lumber I had laying around ;)--just kidding. I used a photo of a real hutch as a guide, and just cut pieces of card stock until it looked about right. I'm in the process of putting together an instruction sheet with templates, on this card and the front door card I uploaded yesterday. If you are interested, keep an eye peeled on the Download forum--I'll post it there in the next day or two.
