Waterfall Card Instructions

You will need a length of card 21cm x 4.5cm.

Fold strip of card at 2 inches and then fold at 2cm, 2cm, 2cm.

At the bottom of the strip of card make a hole and tie with ribbon (this will be so you can pull it down).

Then take a strip of card 8.5cm long x 2cm high. Add 2 brads at each end.

You need 4 white square cards 4.5cm x 4.5cm and decorate as you wish.

Contrast card 5cm x 5cm.

Place squares on the folds as per my diagram below (the Anniversary card) to create a cascade effect. Secure behind the smaller strip so when you pull down the ribbon, it creates a waterfall effect and you can see each individual square, without pulling the whole lot out.

Please take a look.

Hello

Here is a card I was asked to make for a friend's parent's anniversary. I usually make my cards on C5 folded but she wanted it on A4 so I thought it was perfect size to do a waterfall card.

I am quite nervous at cardmaking and I don't tend to experiment, however I am just trying to master the art of shading!


However, there is a noticeable difference of when I first started about 4 years ago when I would just plonk a topper on a card and be done with it........to now, as I have discovered backing papers! 


I have my beautiful original sizzix machine but it stops there! The Cricut etc is in my dreams!  I have quite a few sizzix dies and quickutz dies that I can use with my sizzix machine with a converter. 


I love my craft space which is under my stairs but I have a desk and about hundred little 'screw' drawers which I keep my die cuts and gems etc in. Here's a few more I have made:

I made the shirt myself using origami!

I made the pencil myself, just cut out a pencil shape and layered it.

This wedding card was one of my earlier creations. Nowadays, I would have shaded the cheeks in and outlined the car with liquid chalk!

Thanks for looking.
