How sad that the last time I posted was Father's Day! We have had a very busy summer, and stamping and posting got put on the back burner. Luckily for you I love Halloween cards, and want to share the fun with you!
We made some great cards at our workshop, but the favorite was the Waterfall card. Many of you wanted directions, so here is my attempt at putting a Waterfall card together.
You will need to cut paper:
card base: 5 1/2 x 8
decorative paper: 4 x 5 1/4
neutral color for stamping: 1 7/8 x 1 7/8 (4)
colored card stock: 2 x 2 (4)
9 x 2 (1)
4 x 3/4 (1)
Attach the 4 x 3/4 piece to the front of the decorative paper using brads. Do not glue this to the paper
because it needs to be loose behind for the card to work.
Layer the decorative piece to your card base. This will hide the brad backs.
(I have pictures of two different cards- please don't let that throw you off.)
Take the 9 x 2 piece and score at 2", 2 3/4", 3 1/2" and 4 1/4". Fold over at the 4 1/4" mark.
Now stick with me for this next part- it is important!
Put the unscored part of that strip under the piece that is held on with brads.
Line the top of that strip up with the bottom of the bradded piece and tape down.
See how the scored strip is held on with tape? (The unscored end has been pulled out. ) |
Here Frank is taped down to his square on the scored piece. |
Now put adhesive on the rectangular space right above the first square. Do not put adhesive on the back of your stamped square or your waterfall wont work.
Please know that I copied this card from another SU demonstrator, Dora Visky. I changes a few things to make it my own. There are directions for waterfall cards all over the internet, so if mine don't make sense, either ask me or Google it!
These cards can be made with any images- I have even seen them made with photos- now that I think about it- the Googly Ghouls could be my family! That's me there on top with the green face!
Let me see the cards you make!
