 Hi there Creators I was scrolling through Facebook the other day and came across a short with a simple Waterfall Card on it, and realised, hey I haven't done one of those in ages!  this is nice and simple (in theory, although towards the end of the video, I had to do a bit of adjustment! I ended up making a second card with only 5 waterfall pieces rather than the original 8, and it seems to work better (plus I didn't have to think up another 3 windows for it🤣  I've photographed them side by side, so you can see each window..... Now for the measurements, for the Popcorn Card you'll need:  And if you want to see the goodies I used click this link: Popcorn Waterfall Card 8 pieces of 7cm x 7cm (colour) 8 pieces of 6cm x 6cm (white) strip 2cm x 14cm 7cm x length of A4 (29.8cm), scored at 7cm, 8, 9,10,11,12, 13 and 14cm For the "Not 29 Anymore" Card you'll need: And if you want to see the goodies I used click this link: Not 29 Waterfall Card 5 pieces of 3...

Hand-made Birthday present

I was remembering some of the Stampin' Up! events that we've been to together, Jenny was the first person to join my team, and I've been so blessed to have her there with me through so many fabulous events!
