Acetate stepper card template

See pic below. If you decide to use this template, than your card construction will be a little bit different. But this is the template that I use when I am making a stepper card. I have actually made my template on applique template plastic which is something that quilters use when making templates that they want to keep and use again and again.

All I have to do is trace the slits in the template onto the card stock. The green lines on the Stepper Card Mechanism Template are for placement. These placement guides help get both sides of the Stepper Card lined up and even. The score line for the Center Step has been removed. That is because this score line will change as the size of the card changes. This score line will be determined and folded by hand when the card itself is being folded.

This template allows me to make any size stepper card I need. The difference between this template and the other Stepper Card Templates, this is only the mechanism. Once the card paper is folded, the card will have to be cut to size. It means doing the process backwards, but backwards is what gets it done. I always make a test swatch to see which one I like the best. That is a good habit when you are creating just about anything.
