Sidestep Card Tutorial

And here is one of the cards we did this month at my Card Clubs. 

Soft Suede & Vanilla is such a gorgeous & rich color combo!  It's hard to see, but we used the Champagne glitter from the Fine Galaxy glitter stack on the tree & snowflakes.  I tried to get a good photo of this beautiful golden bronze glitter, but failed - take my word for it - it's amazing!

Here's the template I made to help you figure out the scoring & cutting measurements.  It's not that hard - really!

First score the 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" piece of card stock in half at 4 1/4".  Then place this piece in your cutter with one edge 2" from the cutting mark.  Cut from 2 1/4" to 7 1/4" - (or 2 1/4" from one end & 1 1/4" from the other end).  This is the only time you cut - the rest is all scoring.

***All of the remaining scoring is on the wide side of the cut. 

Score at the 1 1/4" mark across the wide side (3 1/2" wide).  Then score two more times, every 1" until you get to the original 4 1/4" or middle of the card score.

The last score is 2" from the middle score of 4 1/4" - so it's scored at 6 1/4".

Ink - Soft Suede

Accessories - 1/2" & 3/4" circle punches, wide oval & ticket corner punch, vanilla taffeta ribbon, Fine Galaxy glitter - Champagne, 2-way glue, dimensionals, cutting tool with a scoring blade

Hi, I really like the theme. I want to add a banner to the top right-hand space for an advertiser… how would I do that?
