Today I’ve got a fun fold card to share that actually came together in a unique way. My team member, Amy Rudd was in charge of leading the make-n-take project for our last team event. She shared her drawings and measurement information with me ahead of time. I guess I didn’t fully understand what she was explaining though, because the sample card I ended up creating and sharing during the event was slightly different. Hahaha!
Since that team event I’ve seen a few other cards out there that are similar to mine (stair step cards) but require a bit more cardstock. I wanted to keep my 11″ length, BUT I also wanted the back to prop up as part of the whole scene. So I altered it more and added an easel. I also decided to name it a “mountain fold” because of the peeks and “display” because the easel allows it to stay upright.
I’m traveling with my son Luke right now. (We are in Los Angeles, CA.) So I wasn’t able to be live today for my Online Paper Crafting Class. Instead I pre-recorded a video for this unique card and shared it on YouTube and Facebook. I used products from the new Bee Mine Suite from Stampin’ Up!’s Jan-April 2024 Mini Catalog which just debuted January 4, 2023.
Be sure to watch the video by clicking here (or you can just click on this image below if you are already on my blog post), scroll through the close-up photos that follow, check out the measurements & products list below, and then let me know if you have any questions.
I hope you enjoyed what I shared.

Rachel, I absolutely love this card. I’ve seen different versions of it but this version, by far, appears to be the easiest to make. Thank you so much for sharing. I’ll definitely be making some of these cards for my crafty friends 2024 birthdays.
Yay! I’m glad you like the directions I shared. Thanks for leaving such a kind comment Connie.
The card turned out so cute! I love it Rachel! I’m
