Simple Stepper Card
I have created this super easy Stepper Card and I have a little tutorial at the end of the post showing exactly how I made it. I have used the fabulous Seasons Greetings Collection and have incorporated the papers, stickers, chipboard pieces and brads into this project.
The wooden star(from Kaisercraft) has been sprayed with glimmermist and I placed a tiny chipboard star from the collection in the centre.
The tree has been painted and sprayed with glimmermist again to give a little texture and I used a few of the brads to add some dimension. I cut the card 5″ wide (see below) and it fits easily into a 5.5″ square envelope
Simple Stepper Card Tutorial
This easy technique can be applied to make a card any width. The complete card shown above was made from a 5″ wide card base
