Long story short, I needed to make some gift boxes that were too big to cut out on my little Cricut Joy. So I turned to my new resource library and found a sample I liked and married it to the template and pencil drew it and cut it out by hand.Seriously old fashioned really, but golly, so easy! You can see my old faithful score board, and you can see the faed shape where it's tucked into a bookshelf arrangement! The acid yellow files are slowly being filled with ATCs that are going to be another resource....here's my whole library. 
It's a thing by Crafter's Companion...the little books have finished project photos and instructions, the large are templates and die pages. I've referred to it a few times already for reasons of having no clue as to what to make.....ironically, I tried this stepper card from one of the books...I've done the bare bones and can't decide how to finish it now!

I never make fancy cards like your stepper card, but they always look so effective..hope you find the right thing to finish it off! Have a good day, you are very early! Happy WOYWW Helen #2
The funny thing is that I make lots of fold cards for the ladies at the club but don't think we've done a stepper card. This one looks as though it needs flowers as the background looks like leaves. Nice papers. Happy woyww. Hugs Angela x11x
A great start to your stepper card, I am sure you will have some inspiration to finish it off. Happy WOYWW. Angela #10
A resources library eh? Sounds like a great way to provide prompts when you need one. The stepper card is a great start, you could go so many ways with that design. Be nice to catch up as and when you’re able, sorry to hear the hernia stuff hasn’t been playing nicely, hope you’ve not been in pain with it. Things going on here too, funny old couple of weeks.

Love the stepped card and well done you with the organisation. It’s good to have somewhere to go for inspiration…just what I need at the moment. My mojo has gone on holiday sadly.
Hugs,

Sorry to hear about being fobbed off and especially for something like a hernia. Hope you are not in too much pain with it.
Love the organisation in your craft room and your desk is creative not untidy.
The stepper card is gorgeous hope we get to see it when finished.
Hugs, Neet 1 xx

Your Step card is beautiful! Be sure to post when you have decided how to finsih it up! Nice busy desk today! Have a wonderful week, sorry I'm so late! Lindart #16
Hello, Julia! It's been AGES since I last visited your site!
Hi Miss Julia!
I still like going the pencil route for some things and have kept stencils, templates, etc for just that reason. You never know when a tried & true will fit the bill.
Creative Blessings & Hugs! Kelly #15
Love the step card! Hope you're feeling better. Blessings!
I find super complex cards need only a nice topper to finish them off. I was not keen on the disc binding system when I first saw it but am a real convert now. Feels quite old school to use a pencil and scissors, but needs, must, right? The week got away from me!
Happy so late WOYWW!
