Valentine Waterfall Card Tutorial

Hi Everyone! Today I am sharing with you a tutorial for a Waterfall Card.

For the waterfall card I did make three different sizes. The largest size measures 8 x 5 3/4, the middle size measure 7 5/8 x 5 3/4 and the smallest size measures 7 1/4 x 5 3/4. The Largest and Smallest was made using The Beloved Collection from Authentique. The middle size, in this written tutorial, was made using Recollections Valentine Paper from Micheals. For the waterfall portion, I used Cut A Parts from the paper collections. 

These cards are very easy to do. I hope you have a lot of fun making them. You can see the video tutorial first, before making the cards on my youtube.

 Glue the two base pages together.

After folding and burnishing, make sure the folded piece is on top.

Apply glue to the top of the flap.

Attach to pattern paper where you made the cut at the 1 inch. It should line up at the top of that cut line.

Fold the other score line on the pattern paper.

Apply glue the the 4 3/8" x 3 1/2" piece. Attach to the waterfall pull piece, on the right side.

Apply Glue to the back of the pattern paper. Only apply to the 1 inch portion on the side and down the 1/2 inch portion on the top and bottom. Do not apply glue to the whole back side.

Attach waterfall mechanism to the base.

I embellished with some flatback pearls.

 

I punched a hole in the pull tag and tied seam binding through the hole.
