Loving the Stair-Step Fold technique!

I found this technique over at SCS and I knew this would make beautiful cards with so many possibilities. Make sure to head on over to SCS to see what others have created with the TLC190 challenge and to get the directions. I attached the fold to the front of a 5 1/2" square card.

I made a total of three cards using this technique, but you'll have to wait to see the third one towards the end of the month for the sneak peeks of CD Stamps November sets.

I did A LOT of layering so the cards are pretty heavy. The first card features a stamp set from Our Daily Bread Designs called On Eagles' Wings and is currently available so make sure to swing on over there and get it or see the other sets and supplies that are offered.
BLOG CANDY ALERT!! If you want to try and win some ODBD stamps, head on over to Becca's blog and follow her directions! By the way...take a look around Becca's blog - she makes AMAZING stuff!!!
