Hi Stampers!

I hope you've enjoyed your 3 day holiday and are now ready to start creating new pretties.  The samples are from Pinterest but I've made them and they're fun!  If you've never tried a "SIDE STEP CARD" then you've come to the right place.  These are a blast to make.  The basic card base is quite simple ... see step by step below ... and I know you'll love decorating it.

So... let's get started ...

Begin with a piece of cardstock cut at 8 1/2 x 5 1/2

1. Step 1

   Line up the short side of the cardstock at 3" in a paper cutter. 
   

   1. 1. 
         
      2. 
         

   1. Start at 1" and cut all the way to 6 1/2.  You are basically making a slit in your cardstock.

   Score the 2 1/2" wide section of the card at 4 1/4".
   

3. Step 3

   Score the 3" wide section at 1", 2", 3 1/4", 4 1/2" and 6 1/2".
   

4. Step 4

   Fold the score line at 4 1/4" down.
   

5. Step 5

   Fold the first score line on the right hand side of the card down (mountain fold),
   
6. fold the second fold up (valley fold).
   

7. Step 6

   Continue to fold the score lines mountain valley style.
   

8. Step 7

   Fold the last score line down to finish the card base.
   

Decorate ... decorate ... decorate...!
