Waterfall Fun Fold

 Today on Stampin' Thursday I demonstrated a Waterfall Fun Fold card - one that can be either simple or more detailed. I find that using a template for my fun fold cards makes recreating them much easier.

 

This is what my template for the Waterfall Fun Fold looks like. All of the cut dimensions are recorded on the top piece. The template is a sample of the construct of the card. I keep all my fun fold templates in an old Paper Pumpkin box, easy to access at any time!

The cutting sizes are...

Colored cardstock base   11" x 4 1/4", scored at 1 1/2", 3 3/4", 6 3/4", 8 1/4"

Once you have scored these locations, then fold your cardbase 'valley, mountain, valley, mountain'. This is demonstrated on the video if you're not familiar with these terms.

Cut 2  colored cardstock  3 1/2" square

          Basic White cardstock 3 3/8" square

Colored cardstock  4 1/4" x 2 3/8"

Basic White   3 1/4" x 1 7/8" 

Now you have the basic pieces cut to construct your Waterfall Fun Fold card.

At this point the easiest way to learn how to make this card is to watch the video and make your card along with it. In fact, I would recommend you make yourself a template first without using any additional products. The video, however, will include some stamping and adding Designer Series Paper and die cuts. You could do as much or as little as you desire.

 

Here are the samples that I showed on the video.

 

 

 

This first sample is made using pieces from Seaside Bay along with the coordinating Designer Series Paper. The Designer Series Paper is cut in place of the Basic White cardstock.

This sample is the one that I built on the video. It involves a little bit of stamping, a few die cuts and Designer Series Paper. 

I hope that you will give this Waterfall card a try...it's really a lot of fun and can be done in so many different ways! Let me know if you have questions. Comment below or e-mail me at suzyzoo@verizon.net
