Let it snow Waterfall Card - Card Maker Technique Challenge

Hello~
It has been a pleasant technique challenge for me to master the Waterfall card making. I learned this technique before when I was taking Scrapbooking classes. I searched tutorials for waterfall card making on the internet and found that all went down. Maybe that’s why it is called Waterfall card. I wanted to try something different so instead of up and down I did side to side. On this card, I tried to use as many techniques as I could. I think there is no limit to create something like this.

As you can see in the picture, when you gently pull the tab with ribbon through from your right hand side, the waterfall panels open up sideways. To close it, gently push down the card front with your left hand and slide the tab back into the panels. If you give this card to someone, you might need to write a note or show how to open and close it. You will have fun to make it and recipients will enjoy it.

You can make a Waterfall card with any theme of stamp set or combination of stamps as desired. Make your own storylines. You can even use your family or children’s photos instead of stamped images and write a message on the back of each panel.

I hope you to enjoy it!






I wrote an instruction how to make this Waterfall Card that I saved in the pdf format. Please leave me a comment if you want to have a copy.

Peace on Earth Waterfall Card for CFH Mini Bloghop: August 15

Welcome to my blog! Thank you for stopping by. I am so glad to participate in this good cause again. I hope you get inspired by every blogger's creation.

I made a card for Card For Heroes Mini Bloghop: August 15. Please click the link to start this bloghop from the first blogger if you didn't. Thanks.

I like to make waterfall card. Once I made it, it became easy and it was so much fun. I used blue and pink colored card stock this time for a change. I think it turned out very well. Hope you like it, too.




On this Card For Heroes Mini Bloghop: August 15,I like to share:
1. my idea to "How to make more than one card". It is basically about to plan beforehand to use the leftovers after you punch out flowers or snow flakes. Instead of throwing them away, you can use them as a mat of the focal point. You can make five or more different cards by doing this way without wasting. I made an instruction for my cardmaking friends at work and saved it pdf file but I don't know how to add it on this post. Instead, let me show you these cards as examples.



And these are cards that my cardmaking friends at work made for Cards For Heroes. They made them based on the first card sample that I made. I am going to put a sentiment on each card before I send them to Cards For Heroes.



2. why I love crafting for our heroes. I wrote the following when I participated in Memorial Day Bloghop. The more I make cards for them the more I feel thankful for them. I am grateful for my life.

"I want to take this time to remember all of the brave men and women who have given their lives serving our country.

I remember that we used to write a comforting letter to soldiers who were fighting in the Vietnamese war when I was a middle school student in Korea. My uncle was one of them and he got injured during the war. I saw him suffering from the injury throughout his life. I didn't really know at that time but now I can tell that soldiers are heroes. I am grateful for my life and my work in America safely. Thanks to them for their service!

I am happy to participate in card making and sending cards to soldiers in the battle field through Cards for Heroes. I joined the Card Makers group and started making cards for Cards for Heroes since January. It has been exciting challenges when I had to make cards with the different theme each time. It gives me warm feeling when I visualize whom holds my cards in his or her hand and looks so happy."

3. There are deadline for cards to send such as the Nov 1 deadline for holiday cards for Cards For Heroes. Please visit and find more details at Cards For Heroes.

Thank you for your visiting and encouraging comments. Enjoy this Cards for Heroes Mini Bloghop and have a wonderful weekend!
