Mystery Card Making - what is the mystery about making a Waterfall Card.

I did a Mystery Card Making Event and the Mystery Card was a Waterfall Card.  

Here are a few of the samples I did for the class.

So let's see how to do this.

Supplies:

Card Stock:

Netural Cardstock 4 - 1 ¾ x 1 ¾ , 1 – 1 7/8 x 9, 2 – 5 ¼ x 4 (1 if you use a piece of DSP 5 ¼ x 4)

Coordinating Cardstock 4 – 2 x 2, 1 – 1 x 4 ¼ , 1 – 5 ½ x 4 ¼  

Designer Series Paper: 1 – 5 ¼ x 4 ( you can also make your own by uusing a Neutral 5 ¼ x 4) 

Accessories: Tear & Tape or Stampin’ Seal +, you may also want ot use brads, coordinating ribbon, 1” circle punch or die 

Stamp Set: Use set that has at least 1 stamp that will fit in the 1 ¾ Netural square or something you would want in those squares. 

Ink to coordinate.

1. Stamp or mount die cuts on the 4 - 1 ¾ x 1 ¾
2. Mount the 1 ¾ on the 2” squares
3. Score the 1 7/8 x 9 at 2, 2 ¾ , 3 ½ , 4 ¼
4. Stamp the saying below the 4 ¼ score line ( long side of score line)
5. Attach 1 square on the 2 x 2 score line make sure it fills the area
6. Attach the other 3 squares just below the other score lines.  Lining them up overlapping each other.
7. Make and attach your background or use the Designer Series Paper on the 5 ½ x 4 ¼ Coordinating Cardstock.
8. Center the punch at the bottom of the 5 ½ x 4 ¼ and Designer Series Paper and punch a half circle.
9. If Needed Attach a neutral 5 ¼ x 4 to the back piece of the Card front.  Punch out the circle from that side.
10. Decorate the back as you would like.
11. At the ends attach the 1 x 4 ¼  to the bottom 1/3 of the Card Front.  Only do the ends do not attach in the middle.
12. Fold the 1 7/8 x 9 at the 4 ¼ Put the long end of the 1 7/8 x 9 under the 1 x 4 ¼. This will leave the squares on the top of the 1 x 4 ¼  Adjust so that the 2 x 2 Square end is on the 1 x 4 ¼ attach so that it is only attached to the bar.
13. Make sure that it pulls down smoothly from the end that is under the 1 x 4 ¼ bar.
14. If you would like attach a pull at the end of the above portion of the waterfall.
15. Finish off the card how you would like.

Give it a try.
