Side Step Tutorial by Carole'Anne - with Faux Cloisonne

Good day to all my blogging friends!

It's my favourite day of the week - it's Sunday and I get to stay home all day!

as promised today I am going to give you a Carole'Anne version of a  Side Step Card!

So the one I did yesterday I was not 100% happy with - sooooooooooo

I went back to the drawing board and recreated the wheel - HE HE - I am kidding - but I did recreat this card called "Side Step"

so you can visualize what I did I am going to show you the card. OUH never done that before uh? LOL

okay soooooooooooooooo here we go ladies

you will start with a card stock piece cut to 7 1/2'' x 12''

 

now we will make our first score - which will be at 6''

then we are making our first cut

this cut is VERY important

so here's two photos first to help you understhand the correct way to cut it okay

- cause I hate wasting! he he

so you can see that you cut at 2 3/4'' from the left side -

 BUT this is the important part

you will start at 1 1/2'' from the bottom and you will STOP at 8 1/8''

here's another photo for you

okay yhike I hope you are following me???

Now we are going to score (this will Make the STEPS part of our card)

We are only Scoring the piece to the right okay? - so NOT that 2 3/4'' strip (to the left of our card)that I am showing you in the photo above okay???

you are cutting to the RIGHT of the 2 3/4'' cut line

your first Score is going to line up with the beginning of your cut line (the one to the left)

1 1/2'' - and you score all the way to your cut line from right to left

second score at

2 1/2''

your third score is

5 1/4''

you 4th score you have all ready - it's at 6''

and your last score it will line up with the END of you cut line wich should be at

8 1/8''

  can you see the steps now??

I am also going to show you the closed version - cause you will see that the way I did this side step, the card will close up beautifully

 

so you can see from the photo that you only score up to that cut line 

okay now we are going to decorate this Side Step Card 

colour of card stock I used are 

Black, Whisper white, and Pink Passion - all Stampin Up Card Stock he he :)

 I am going to give this card to my sister in law for her birthday!

so we are going to cut our pink passion pink into an

"L" Shape

soooooo........if you start from the bottom your first cut is 7 1/2 and your side cut is  5 3/4''

you will now have a rectangle

now for the L shape cut

start by measuring 2 1/2'' from the left side

you will cut from this 2 1/2'' down to 1 1/8'' from the bottom

what I did is made a pencil mark first - that indicated 

1 1/8'' from the bottom at 2 1/2'' from the left side

making sense??? now you have a nice piece left to create little rectangles for your steps

they measure -

#1 - the bigger of the two is

4'' x 3''

the #2 the smaller is 

4'' x 1 5/8'' -

sorry I missed a photo of this -

but I did add one more layer - I did not give you measurements for that -

didn't want to overwhelm you!

 
gheesh I sure hope it made sense :)

now I textured thos white pieces

using my BIG SHOT of course LOL

Aint it so pretty!

 
so I did Faux Cloisonne technique here -

 I was going to show you how to do this technique - 

but I was thinking that would be too much for one post

let me know if you do want me to post a tutorial on it okay?? then I will

so my rose comes the fifth avenue  floral stamp set  

now to finish up this card!

I embossed some on the black panels -

the I used the new Black ribbon that will be available in the New Mini!

I also used some bling with some pretty Brads

all supplies are Stampin Up!

my pretty little bling bling brads

hey you know what I did not pull a Rosa on this card - can you beleive it???? HEHE

or Te Te for Liane!

there we have it my Side Step Card!

 

pretty little pearls from my pretties kit

I adhere these with my glue dot - it's really simple!

-
this is my rose up close using the "Faux Cloisonne" Technique -

this is so pretty uh? I did the leaves the same way  -

that stamp set is called Autumn splendor!

this is a top view of my card

one last photo this one I took with the flash on - 

there we have it

whowhy I sure hope I did okay with this card tutorial

I really hope that it wasn't to hard to understand

anyways!

Well, just when I think you've outdone yourself, you come and impress me with another fabulous project. Noticed I didn't just say 'card', because calling this a card is a serious understatement. Thank you soooo much for the detailed tutorial. I truly appreciate it! Have a great week Carole'Anne!

I love the card and I saved the instructions too. The colors are so pretty.

[Colett R]

I am so glad you took the time to head back to the drawing board ... look what you did!! WOW! It's beautiful!! I'll be trying one of these.

[Mitzi Luttrull]

I just made my template using your dimensions. The only measurement that does not work for me is the score at 5 1/4". I had to score mine at 4 7/8" in order for the 6" score to fold right. Did anyone else have this problem? I checked my measurements and it seems that everything else is correct. Thanks.

[Mitzi Luttrull]

This is a great inspiration for this side step card. I have to make a get well card this week so I think I will try doing it with the side step format. Love your rose, too.

[DonnaC]

What a great tutorial. Thanks for a chance at blog candy Tess! Your Tess projects are so much fun.

[Kate Stockman]

Your card is so pretty. I love these side step cards but this is the first tutorial I've seen. Please do the "Faux Cloisonne" tutorial for us also.
Kate

[Sage Kimble]

Another great card, Carole'Anne. thanks for the tutorial. I will have to try one of these side step cards. I will post it on LNS when I do.

[Becca]

I love the way you show us every step in making the card, makes is easy to understand. Thanks so much for all the great projects.

[Joyce Spear]

Your tutorial is very well done -- but then they always are! This turned into such a lovely card, but then I'm really partial to pink and black together.

I do hope you show the Faux Cloisonne technique! I've seen several versions, but I'd like to see how YOU do it, since the rose turned out so beautifully.

Hey, I'm just curious... Do you send out all the cards you make, or do you keep a lot of them in your "stash"? I'm guilty of hanging on to them myself, especially the cards that turn out better than I expect... so I'm interested in hearing what you do with yours.

Hugs and Smiles,
Joyce

[Dawn]

Great directions with the pictures. Lovin' all your stuff latey. Where do you find the time?

[Rachel Jackson]

WOW, Thank you so much for the tutorial. Another amazing card. Have a great christmas, try and keep warm.
Rach:)

[Linda Henry]

Thank You so much for the detailed recipe for this card. I am going to try this really soon. It is such a cool card. I just love cards that are made differently from the old standard cards.
Merry Christmas to You and Yours!

[Carolyn]

Love your side step card. I have discovered in searching side step cards that there are several different measurements that can be used to make the card.
