Stair Step Fold Card

I saw a stair step fold card on the SCS site at Christmas and have been thinking I should have a go at making one and never got around to it ! So the Cupcake Craft Challenge has spurred me on :-)The theme for this week is multi folds, so you have to make more than 2 folds on your card. This card also qualifies for the House Mouse Monday Challenge whose theme is 'something sweet'. The Spoonfull of Sugar Challenge is 'How Old !!' and the ABC Challenge which is 'Hearts' :-)

I used a Funky Fairy's Papercrafts 'Feeling Fruity'download paper. The HM stamps were a little big so I tried using shrink plastic but that didn't look nice, the colours were too dark, so I stamped them onto paper, scanned them and shrunk the images ! I had never thought of doing that before but it worked :-)
I cut out the 'celebrate' and numbers on my cricut. The 'happy birthday' text was from the Clare Curd sentiment set and the 'to you' was from a Simon Says Stamp exclusive cupcake set
I just added some crystal stickles here and there and it was done :-)

For those of you who don't know how to make a stair fold card the measurements are :-
Cut a piece of card 5" X 10.5"
score lines at 1.25", 2.5",4.25",6" & 8.25"
just fold along the score lines to make mountain and valley folds ( think that's what they're called.)

Thanks for looking, your comments are appreciated so please leave me one :-)
