Doesn't it sounds healthy? I really liked a card a saw lately using this stair step look, and thought, I must figure that out! So, hopefully, you don't have to. I have included detailed steps that even I could follow them!
I made these wonderful
Step 1: Cut a paper to 8x10.
Step 2: Looking at the paper with the long sides being top and bottom, the shorter sides the edges. Score a the 3,4,5,6,7, inch marks.
Step 3: Turn the paper so it seems the short sides are top and bottom. Sliding the page into your cutter go in to 1 and 1/2 inches. Reading the ruler on the with the slicer cut from 3" to 5".
Slide into the cutter to 3". At this point slice from 4-6 on the reading of the slicing ruler.
Slide further into cutter to 4.5". Slice here from 5-7".
Step 4:
You will need two of the step-looking paper. If it is a forgiving pattern that does not require to face a specific direction you could carefully cut them at once, from a 10 1/2 x 5 1/2" paper. Otherwise place two pieces together, one turned upside down and cut once that way.
Place you paper on the slicer at zero point. Sliding down to 2 3/8" cut 1"down from the top.
Slide it in to 3 5/8" mark and slice down 1".
Slide it in further to the 4 5/8" mark and slice down an inch.
Step 6: Go back to sever the paper at each slice ending.
Step 7: Cat 4 rectangles that are 3/4 x 1 1/4".
Step 8: Adhere these to card.
Step 9: Adhere your chosen image, letters, and sentiment to the card!
Now, I am NOT math-y, so you must take the idea and make it your own size on your own, lol. This requires a large envelope, so of course it could use modification if you want to save on stamps ;).
My stamp is from www.mosdigitalpencil.com (no surprises there, lol). She is called The Birthday Girl. She would be fun on scrapbook pages or blown up As a coloring page, too.
Birthdays
are for
Having your cake,
And eating it too!
The best birthdays begin with cake,
Having your cake,
And eating it too!
The best birthdays begin with cake,
end
with cake,
and have a little cake in the middle!
If God didn't approve of cake
he never would have made
birthdays so varied.
Sorry I forgot your birthday,
Just giving you a reason
To eat more cake!
I'm almost certain, no matter the trouble,
A nice slice of birthday cake will fix it.

Especially,
if it's not your birthday.
