Cascading cards

I've been anxious to share this one with you! We made these at my Card Clubs in April..... Some of my gals were intimidated by it at first but everyone was later amazed at how easy this card was to put together. Well.... I did have the paper cut and scored for them. ;) You'll start out with a piece of double-sided designer series paper measuring 8" X 12". Then you'll score at 2", 4", 8" and 10". You can...

I have had a few people ask me about the construction of the Cascade Card that I made for the G45 Audition. I will do my best to explain it and show some photos and drawings I did on the computer. You can see more examples and instructions on Splitcoaststampers. Don't use your best paper for the first try. I can almost guarantee you will end up throwing it in the trash. So here goes. Start with one 12 X 12 piece of cardstock- Cut 2 pieces that are 12 X 5.5" At one end make a mark at 3" and…

Hello, Crafters. We had a great time at training yesterday! We covered a lot of ground, and I think everyone felt they learned a lot. There were only thirteen of us, plus Natalie and Paula; and just six of us swapping! Initially this was rather disappointing, but once I saw the fabulous swaps I received, ...

Something that has been on my "to do" list for a while is a double cascade card, where you basically have two interlocking angled "z" fold cards. I used the directions in Sonia's post, but altered the measurements so my base panels are 12" long x 3" at the front & 6" at the rear. Here is my first card, made in SU blues:- Here is a view from the top, so you can see the concertina effect:- They flatten out, but still need a box rather than an envelope to accommodate them, so I made a custom…

This was one of the first tutorials I did for Crafter's Companion back in 2015 but I never published it on my blog. However, I have recently had a request about it so here is the tutorial for a cascade card: So that you can see the measurements and cuts more clearly I have used a felt tip pen for marking the card. When making your card just use a pencil so that the marks do not show up on your finished card. Take one piece of double sided Centura Pearl card and trim the card so that the…

A pair of slanted, intersecting walls with accent wall shapes offers the foundation to assemble a dozen 2-layered rose buds, beneath sepal stems to create a special bouquet. Extra front panel also holds buds and leaves, with a plaque style tag. Optional clear panel tucked just inside back walls supports tallest stems. Card expands forward to provide its own display stand, then compresses “flat” for storage or to deliver. Measures approx. 6” wide x 8.75” x 3” deep when standing. Pair it with…
