Stair Step 3-D Gingham Gala Card
Have you seen those cards out there that look like stacked baby blocks? I gave them a go. All the cards I’ve seen out there use slightly larger measurements though. Rather than pulling out the Envelope Punch Board to create a custom size envelope for the larger size cards, I put my math brain to work and re-figured the measurements so the card would fit into our Medium Envelopes! Yay!
For my designs I use the Gingham Gala Designer Paper and the First Steps Stamp Set from the 2019 Occasions Catalog.
Rather than writing out all the details & directions to make this fun-fold, I shared that information in my Wednesday’s Facebook Live broadcast. Then I uploaded the recorded version of this video to my YouTube channel (since I know not everyone is ON Facebook). Be sure to watch the video (you can just click on this image below if you are already on my blog), check out the measurements and full products list below, scroll through the close-up photos of what I created, and then let me know if you have any questions.
Here are the measurements and close-up photos you’ll need if you plan to recreate any of these cards.
A VISUAL OF THE BASIC TEMPLATE
Measurements for the card I demonstrated in the video…
- Grapefruit Grove Cardstock
- 11” x 4-1/8” scored in from the left and right at 1-3/8”, 2-3/4”, 4-1/8” and 5-1/2” and then in the opposite direction at 1-3/8” and 2-3/4”.
- Whisper White Cardstock
- Eleven pieces that are 1-1/4” x 1-1/4”
- 2-5/8” x 2-5/8”
- ½” x 1-1/4”
- Scraps for stamping and fussy cutting both feet images
- Gingham Gala Designer Paper
- Four Grapefruit Grove pieces that are 1-1/8” x 1-1/8”
- Four Daffodil Delight pieces that are 1-1/8” x 1-1/8”
- Four Lemon Lime Twist pieces that are 1-1/8” x 1-1/8”
- Lemon Lime Twist Mini Ruffled Ribbon
- Three pieces that are 8”
PHOTOS OF MY FIVE BABY BLOCKS CARDS
This first one is the easiest to make. I embellished the top blocks with bows tied from the Organdy Sale-a-Bration Ribbon Combo Pack.
Leaving a white section in the back allows for a space to sign the card.
The card on the right in this photo below is the one that I demonstrated in the video. The card on the left is very similar, but I used Gorgeous Grape Cardstock, Gorgeous Grape Ink, and Whisper White Classic Weave Ribbon.
When flat, you can add a gift card.
The perfect size for our Medium Envelopes!
These last two I put together for fun variations after I recorded the video. The purple ink for the sentiment is Highland Heather.

Country Floral & Wink of Stella
The Country Floral Embossing Folder that just debuted on February 15 as a new Sale-a-Bration Level 1 free pick is a favorite of mine! Did you see the beautiful Soft Sea Foam green card that I shared on Monday? I also shared this embossing folder on February 11th featured in my butterfly wedding card. For the card I’m sharing today, I colored all the embossed flowers with the Wink of Stella glitter pen. And I absolutely love the results!
The sentiment comes from the All That You Are stamp set featured in the front of the Occasions Catalog. And do you recognize the die-cut pieces? They are from the Frosted Bouquet Framelits that carried over from the Holiday Catalog. Those framelits coordinate with this All That You Are stamp set. How fun it that?!
Below are the measurements, products and directions if you wish to recreate this card.
Measurements:
- Blackberry Bliss Cardstock:
- 4-1/4″ x 11″ scored at 5-1/2″ and folded in half for the card base

Case Inserts On my Website Now
I still love the way I store my stamp sets that I get in all my awesome Paper Pumpkin kits – in my Memories & More albums. But I know that many of you love the system of storing each set in its own Clear Mount Stamp Set Case so your Paper Pumpkin stamp sets can be kept among all your other stamp sets.
I’ve been hanging onto the PDFs that Stampin’ Up! has been releasing on the demonstrator side of the website since they started sharing them with us in January 2015. And on February 2nd I uploaded them HERE for you to download. You don’t have to save the link, though. Just look for Stamp Set Case Inserts in my Paper Pumpkin drop down menu.
This is what they look like when they are printed, trimmed and slipped behind the plastic lining on the outside of a Clear Mount Case.
Enjoy!
