5 Step Stepper Card

 5 ½” x 8 ½” cardstock (A2 size card)

Cutting Directions

 

Use a PAPER TRIMMER not a guillotine or rotary cutter

Lay in paper trimmer horizontally/landscape

Place cardstock at 1” mark

Place blade at 2 ½” and cut from 2 ½” to 5 7/8”

Slide cardstock down to the 2” mark

Place blade at 3 3/8” and cut from 3 3/8” to 6 ¾”

Slide cardstock to the 3 ½” mark

Place blade at 3 3/8” and cut from 3 3/8” to 6 ¾”

Slide cardstock to the 4 ½” mark

Place blade at 2 ½” and cut from 2 ½” to 5 7/8”

 

*If you use your paper trimmer to score, then turn the cardstock ¼ turn to your left, and follow the scoring directions below*

 

*If you use a scoring board, leave your cardstock in the same position it was while you were cutting, place on your scoring board, and follow the scoring directions below*

 

 Scoring Directions

If using a scoring board, using a ruler for a guide will help keep your scoring tool lined up.

At 2 ½” score from the top edge to the first cut line, and from the last cut line to the bottom edge

At 3 3/8” score between the first and second cut lines, and between the third and fourth cut lines

At 4 ¼” score between the second and third cut lines

At 5 1/8” score from the top edge to the first cut line, and from the last cut line to the bottom edge

At 5 7/8” score between the first and second cut lines, and the third and fourth cut lines

At 6 3/4" score from the top edge to the second cut line, and the third cut line to the bottom edge

 

Starting with the score lines at 2 ½”, fold all of the FIRST score lines MOUNTAIN folds.  Fold the next score lines VALLEY folds.  And the last score lines (which will be the front of the card) MOUNTAIN folds.
