How to make a cascading card - using the Front and Back Snowman by Lynn Dionne

Happy Wednesday Ai Fans!!!



Watch video tutorial here!!!

Let's create a super fun Cascading Card today! Today's video will contain all of the measurements for cutting and scoring your cardstock to create this interactive card! Although this design looks quite complicated, I have filmed the video so that you can follow along and pause the video as needed in order to complete each section of the card very easily.

For our focal image we will be using the brand-new Ai FB Snowman (5779). This set will contain the front and back of the cutest little snowman as well as the coordinating dies. These front and back images are perfect for your spinner, acetate and window cards.

We can stamp and die cut our snowman. All of the coloring will be done using the Zig Clean Color Real Brush Pens in the following colors: Blender, Wine Red, Sugared Almond Pink, Turquoise Mint, Blue Green, Bright Yellow, Haze Blue, Warm Gray 4.

Next, let's die cut several pretty snowflakes with some sparkle paper using the Ai Lg Snowflake Dies (5353). We need to cut two of each so that we can glue them back-to-back. Let's also add some teal opalescent sequins to the center of each of these snowflakes.

For our sentiments we will be using the Ai Nested Heart Dies (5721) and the Ai Chubby Snowman Set (5351) and Ai Christmas Sentiments Set (5566). The scallop heart will be in the same sparkle cardstock and then for the middle heart we will be using the pretty heart paper from the Ai Valentine Paper Pack (5741). The smallest hearts will contain our sentiments and one will say "Snow place like home for the holidays!" and the other will say "Let it snow".

Again, for the assembly and all of the instructions please click on the video above. I hope you give this fun interactive design a try!

Thank you so much for joining me today!  Have a fun and crafty day!!!
