First Stair Step Card for me

I'm alwasy looking for new techniques to try especially for cards. Last year I loved making the tri-shutter fold style cards and those who recieved them loved them. This year I wanted to try somthing different and found the stair step cards fun and simple to create. Here is my first card/try- a friends birthday card:

There are many different variations that can be done to this card and I can't wait to create more of this style of card.
