Here's a new card fold introduced to me by today's SCS's Technique Challenge. It's called a Stair Step Fold and it's brilliant for all kinds of 3-D cards!! This picture does NOT do this dimensional card any justice. This is such an EASY technique to do - here's a quick rundown:
1) Trim down your cardbase to 5 x 10 1/2 inches. If you want a design on it, go ahead and stamp now.
2) Measuring and scoring from one 5 inch side only, score at 1 1/4, 2 1/2, 4 1/4, 6, and 8 1/4 inches.
3) Make sure the smallest fold (1 1/4 inch) is going "down", like an upside down V... see the ribbon block above.
4) Then fold your paper up, down, up, down, etc to create folds and valleys - like an accordion.
5) Decorate to your heart's desire!!!
I hope you get a chance to try this card fold today. I know I will be using this technique again and again! Have a super Monday!!!!!
Stamps: And Everything Nice, Hollyhock jumbo wheel, Sprinkles
Paper: Pink Pirouette, white
Ink: black, pink pirouette, various SU markers

What a fantastic card! I'm getting ready to make one with the House of Haunts set. Now I really can't wait to get started.
Thanks for the tutorial! I want to try this- I am sure that your pic. doesn't do justice to this card. The colors are fantastic! I have the "And Everything Nice" set and am thinking about selling it since it is retired. Might have to use it one last time for a card like this! TFS
wow! very nice - love the hollyhocks!!!
I love how the little girl is looking down over things.
