Before we get to the details let's take a look at our first Featured Designer of 2023.
Tasha created an adorable waterfall card for you and has the most incredible picture tutorial to go along with it. We think you're going to love it!
Hi Ai Fans!
Tasha here sharing a colorful Waterfall Celebration Card created for the Ai "Let's Celebrate" Challenge!
This challenge theme is perfect to start the new year and I wanted to have a card that looked like a birthday party. Instead of just using one set, I mixed and matched sets to look like party photos. This type of card would also work great for seasonal designs!
Instructions
Measurements:
Completed card is 4-3/4" x 6"
Step 1: Cut your base and paper layers.
- Card Base: 4-3/4" x 6"
- Layer 1 (Light Blue): 4-3/4" x 6"
- Layer 2 (Pink): 4-1/2" x 5-3/4"
- Center card (Pattern): 4-1/4" x 5-1/2"
- Center Strip Panel: 1" x 4-1/2"
- x4 Squares: 2" x 2"
- Waterfall Base: 1-7/8" x 9"
- *Score at 2", 2-3/4", 3-1/2", and 4-1/2"
Step 2: Attach your center card and card stock layers.
Optional: If you want to create an opening to help pull down the waterfall, use a circle punch or die to cut the bottom.
Step 3: Add liquid glue to the Center Strip Panel as shown below.
Note: I found that liquid glue works best for this step.
Step 5: Stamp your images on the four (4) square panels.
Step 6: Using a bone folder, crease all the score lines on the Waterfall Base.
Step 7: Add adhesive to the top of each score line on the Front of the Waterfall Base.
Step 8: Flip the Waterfall Base over and add adhesive to the middle of the bottom scored area.
Note: I found that a strong tape works best for this step.
Step 9: Fold the Waterfall Base Card in half.
Step 10: Stamp a greeting on the Back side of the Waterfall Base on the opposite side of the score lines.
Step 11: Add your Square Panels to the Waterfall Base starting with the bottom layer.
Step 12: Slide the Waterfall Base through the Center Strip Panel, so the squares are on top of the Center Strip and the Stamped Greeting is under the Center Strip Panel.
Step 13: Position the Waterfall Base in the center of the card and gently remove the back tape. The tape should hold the Waterfall Panel on to the Center Strip Panel.
Step 14: Pull the bottom of the Waterfall Card to flip through the colored squares.
