WATERFALL CARD TUTORIAL

Hey! Crafters!

Are you looking for some last minute simple yet elegant birthday cards or greeting cards? Don't worry, I have got your back. 

In today's tutorial, I am gonna share the step by step procedure of making a ''WATERFALL CARD''. This card is one of the easiest cards I have ever made. When you pull the tag, the panels flip over one at a time to reveal the next panel. Making this card does not require much effort and is easy to assemble, once you get to make one.

YOU WILL NEED 

1) Cardstock Paper

2) Decorative Papers

3) Pencil and Scale

4) Glue/ Adhesive

5) A Pair of Scissors

6) Paper Cutter/Craft Knife

7) 4 Pictures

PROCEDURE FOR MAKING

1) You would need one black card stock paper for the card base measuring 16.5cm*24cm and fold it from 12cm. 

Cut out a decorative paper of measurement 11.5cm*16.2cm. Now, cut out 4 small rectangles measuring 7cm*5.5cm and round their corners by using scissors or corner punch.

We would then need two stripes one measuring 18.5cm*3.5cm and the other of measurement 1.5cm*12cm.

2) Take the strip measuring 18.5cm*3.5cm, mark and score the lines on it as shown in the picture below.

Apply glue to the strip as shown and stick the flap over it. Stick all the flaps over the strip one by one.

This is how it will look after sticking all the flaps to the strip.

3) Turn back the flap, apply glue on the bottom part of the strip and stick another thin strip over it. And now the waterfall of flaps is ready.

4) Take the card base and stick the decorative paper over it. Now take the flap, flip it over, apply glue to the sides of the thin strip and stick it to the card.

 This is how it will turn out.

5) Take decorative papers and cut them in the measurement of 5.1cm*6.5cm, and round their corners by using scissors or corner punch. Stick it on the flaps in the pattern you like and decorate the card as you desire. Here I have kept it quite simple.

6) This is the final look of the card. You can stick some photographs on these flaps/panels when you are gifting this card to your loved ones.

Also, you can always experiment with different patterns and explore different ways to decorate your card.

Hope you all liked it.

THANK YOU!
