Here's my card with My Friend Ronnie Drinks #2 Clear Stamp set.

I love this stamp set and decided to create a side step card using The Stamp Doctor's Side Step Card Die, which cuts out (pun intended) all the usual math, calculations, and measuring involved in a card like this. You can get this die by itself or get the fabulous Side Step Die set that cuts out lots of layers so you can make your card as detailed as you'd like!
