Cascade Card (Something Saturday)

 Hi there Creators,

Well today I'm showing how to make a really simple cascade card, once you've got the dimensions worked out you can make it in any size.

I couldn't remember the name of this to begin with and waterfall card, accordion card both came to mind, but after a spot of googling, it's actually called a Cascade card!

Here is the finished article (which will be off to my friends who are getting married this afternoon, so they shouldn't be able to see this post!)

 

As you can see I ended up having to create an envelope too for the card, as it was just too big for a standard envelope (plus this dresses the outside up nicely!)😉  How gorgeous is this Edens Garden Paper? and the meadow dies I think go nicely with it.  I couldn't resist using some of my favourite Garden Gems too (sad to think at the end of the year the Eden's garden paper and gems will retire 😢)  So if you want some get them now!!

See this link for the products I used in this card:  What Heather Used

Whatever size card stock you choose, here's how you do it.....

score it into 3 equal pieces so it concertina's up, then you'll determine how high you want the first tier of your card to be, say you want it to start the slope at 1", you mark a 1" on each side (see the photo) then you cut the diagonal between the 2 marks.

 

Now you should have 2 equal (hopefully) pieces 😃  Line these up on top of each other, make sure the bases are together, even if the top isn't. Then work out the middle (both ways) of each individual section, then put a pin mark in so it goes through both pieces of card.  You'll then want to cut lines up and down, (opposite for each piece of card) see the picture below:

these should then slide into each other to create your card :) Like so....

It's really not complicated!  have a go, I'd love to see what you make.

I hope this inspires you to have a go.

God Bless love
