Side Step Rocker Card and Tutorial

In the January 2016 issue of Quick Cards Made Easy
I saw a card that I'm calling a Side Step Rocker Card.
The directions were in metric which I don't have the patience to convert, so I just figured it out for myself.  Then I decided I wanted one with TWO steps on the side, so with a little trial and error I came up with a way to make that too.

Here is a card I made using just the basic one step.



I know it's pretty girly but it is an anniversary card for my husband....our anniversay is January 24.  That also happens to be the last day to JOIN this blog as member and follower if you want to be entered in the giveaway drawings :)

The Eifel Tower is an image from Cricut cartridge Summer In Paris.
The flower were made with Tim Holtz Alterations die Tattered Florals.
The oval for the sentiment was made using Sizzix Scalloped Oval die set.
Distress Inks were used to accent the flowers, the oval, and Eifel Tower.

You can watch the YouTube tutorial on how to make the Side Step Rocker cards HERE on my channel jjgz4ever 

I will be posting more of these cards over the next few days.
