I love your card and your ideas. Thank you for sharing and your hard work! I have seen the side step card made with several different dimensions, however when I try to make them my card turns out uneven. Are there certain dimensions that you need to stick with to make sure your card is even with the folds and valleys? I hope this makes sense. Please help! Thank you
Thanks!!
