Happy 2025 again! I’m back with my Stamping With Friends group and excited to be joining them twice a month in this year ahead. Today’s hop challenge is to create a step card. There are various step cards – faux step card, center step card, side step card, and triple step card (to name a few). I chose the Center Step fun fold card for my project and I’m using the new Storybook Moments Suite Collection coming out in the new mini catalog.
As always with a Blog Hop, be sure to hop along with us by checking out the Roll Call at the bottom of this post so you can carry through and see the other creations of my talented stamping friends.
Here’s my card:

As mentioned, this card is using all new product from the upcoming January – April 2025 Mini Catalog using a suite collection called Storybook Moments. This suite will be available to customers on January 7th and it is so sweet!
Center Step Fun Fold Directions:
- Card Base: 5 1/2-8 1/2
- Cut the slits:
- On the short side (5 1/2″ side) line the cardstock up at 1 1/4″ mark on top of the trimmer and line up the marker on the blade at 1″ and cut down to 5 1/4″. Move the cardstock to the 4 1/4″ mark at the top of the trimmer and repeat the same cut lines as in the previous sentence.
- Turn the cardstock on the long side (8 1/2″ side) for scoring placing your trimmer so the side with the lines are closest to the edge (as shown in photo below).
- Line up the edge to the 1″ mark and score from the top to the first cut line, skip the section between the two cut lines, and then score from the 2nd cut line to the bottom edge of the cardstock.
- Move cardstock to the 2″ mark and repeat (scoring only from the edges to the cut line, skipping the middle).
- Then move cardstock to the 4 1/4″ and score ONLY in the CENTER, not on the sides.
- Finally move your cardstock to the 5 1/4″ mark and score from edge to the score line. (Hopefully you can see all of the score lines in my photo below.
- Fold! Starting on the first 1″ score line (if you’re looking at the photo above, it’s the left side), you want to fold the edge scores as a Peak, the 2″ line as a Valley, the center 4 1/4″ score line as a Peak and the 5 1/4″ line as a Peak.
- The end! Decorate as you see fit! The great part about a step card, is you can have little images “pop” off the edge of the step, like I did with the bunny and the squirrel.
Here’s the card again. And, don’t forget to decorate the envelope!
