Valentine Stair Step Card Tutorial

 

As Valentine's Day is fast approaching I thought I would make a few valentine cards for family and friends.  This is the stair step card which is easy to make and when embellished looks adorable.

To make the base of the card cut a white piece of

cardstock (CS) at 10-1/2" x 5-1/2".  Score left to right

at 1-1/4", 2-1/2",4-1/4", 6" and 8-1/4". 

 Accordion fold starting from left to right with the hill position first.

 

Punch a pretty border with any punch from color cardstock measuring 1-1/4" x 5-1/2".  Adhere this piece to the front of the card.  Cut three pieces of designer paper at

1-1/4" x 5-1/2", 1-3/4" x 5-1/2" and 2-1/4" x 5-1/2".  Adhere each piece to the white CS starting with the smallest

piece first.

 

Now you're ready to embellish your card.  This first card I decorated with cupcakes.

 

 

What is Valentine's Day without hearts.

 

 

This last one will tell my Valentine that she (my daughter)holds the key to my heart.

 

Hope that you will take some time to make a valentine for that special someone.
