Painted Lavender Cascading Fold Card

Today I received an email from a stamper named Susan requesting instructions for a card I posted a while ago called a Cascading Fold card. The card was made by my awesome stamping friend Debbie Evoy.   Susan wants to recreate the card for her granddaughter's birthday.  I thought since I was giving Susan instructions that maybe someone else would be interested in them. 

Here is the Debby's card and link to my post on the Cascading Fold cards I made, using a different technique:

Here Is the Card I Made:

 

Cutting Instructions:

Cardstock A: (MELON MAMBO) 

1. Cut one piece of A for card base measuring 5 ½” x 5 ½” and score at 4 ¼”, burnish on the fold line so crease is at the outside edge like a normal card.
2. Cut one piece of A for 2nd layer measuring 5 1/2” x 3 ¾” score at 4 ¼” and burnished at fold line.
3. Cut one piece of A for bottom front layer measuring 2” x 4 ¼”.
4. Cut one piece A for inside sentiment layer measuring 3 1/8" x 2 7/8"

Cardstock B (PETAL PINK) 

1. Cut one piece of B for inside card base mat measuring 5 ¼” x 4”
2. Cut one piece of B for 2nd layer mat 4" x 3 1/2"
3. Cut one piece of B for bottom layer mat measuring 1 ¾” x 4”
4. Small scraps for floral pieces and butterflies. 

Cardstock C (Basic White )

1. Cut one piece of C for layer on inside of base measuring 3 1/8” x 2 3/4”
2. Scrap for sentiment

DSP (Meandering Meadows #162735 Online Exclusive): 

1. Cut one piece of DSP for Inside Base Mat measuring 5 1/8 x 3 7/8”,
2. Cut one piece of DSP for 2nd layer mat measuring 3 ¼” x 3 ¾”
3. Cut one piece of DSP for bottom front layer 1 5/8” x 3 7/8”

Assembling Base Layers:  

1.  Adhere the B1 layer to card base mat.
2.  Adhere  DSP1 5 1/8” x 3 7/8” mat to B1 mat.
3.  Adhere A2 mat 3 5/8” x 3 ¼” to the bottom of the base DSP piece. Leave equal margins around sides and bottom edge.

4.  Adhere C1 mat to A2.  I suggest stamping neutral piece with sentiment and design before adhering it. 

Here's all the pieces of the base mat. 

Assembling 2nd Layer: 

1. Adhere the A2 layer mat to the finished base layer. Fold at the score line and        add adhesive to the back to adhere. 
2. Adhere B2 mat to the second layer base.

3. Adhere DSP 2 piece the 3 ¼ x 3 ¾ to the card B2 mat.

Assembling Bottom Front Layers: 

1. Adhere A3 piece (1 ¾ x 4”) to the edge of the second layer.

2. Adhere B3 piece to A3.
3. Adhere DSP3 to B3

4. Decorate with floral and add sentiment.

Assembling Cascading Layers:  

1. Start with the base card with the folded piece with burnished fold on left side. Line up the 2nd layer so it is even with the bottom and side of the base layer and adhere it by running glue on the back of the fold line.

2. Repeat this with the bottom front layer.

3. Starting with the base cut from the top corner across the diagonal to the 2nd layer

4. Starting with the 2nd layer cut from the corner on the diagonal to the bottom layer.

I hope you found this tutorial easy to work with.  I'd love to hear from you.  

HAPPY STAMPING!
