I love this waterfall card with Kindest Gnomes. Waterfall cards are such fun to play with and the gnomes are so cute. The Kindest Gnomes bundle is in the July – December mini catalog and has a wintry feel to the images so it makes a perfect Christmas card. However, gnomes stay around all year so this month I will be featuring projects with the gnomes in all four seasons.
In fact, my August Bundle of the Month is the Kindest Gnomes bundle (159626). Purchase this bundle from me during August and I’ll send you a free bundle of 5 tutorials for projects you can make with this bundle.
There a variety of waterfall cards as the technique has been around for years. Most of the cards have the same-sized pieces for the waterfall so that you see a part of the layers lying underneath the top one. I like this style because the subsequent layers are hidden and a surprise as they flip up. The products I used for this card along with cutting dimensions are below. When you have your pieces cut, follow along with me in the video I made during my Facebook Live today.

Making this Rings of Love Fancy Fold card is really quite easy! Start with a Crumb Cake cardstock base. Then add a layer of Soft Sea Foam cardstock and the beautiful Rings of Love designer series paper that will be free during Sale-a-bration for a $50 purchase.
I stamped the branch, leaves, and nest on crumb cake cardstock with Soft Suede and Parakeet Party ink and fussy cut them out. The bird was stamped on a scrap of Basic White cardstock using Starry Night ink stamped off once and the wing with full strength Starry Night ink. I stamped the belly with Daffodil Delight ink and colored the beak with Pumpkin Pie Stampin’ Blend. When I finished coloring the bird, I punched it out with the Songbird Builder Punch. Next I adhered the branch with the nest and the bird to the front of the narrow upright strip of cardstock. The finishing step was to stamp the greeting and then adhere this piece to the cardbase.

I love the Clever Cats stamp set (156490) found in the July – December mini catalog. The fancy fold part of this card is that the label slides out to allow the recipient to open the gatefold card.
And then when the slide is removed, this is what the Slide & Lock Clever Cats card looks like.

I made this beautiful card using the Faux Silk Technique. This technique is easy to do and gives a lovely texture to your background. You can stamp on the faux silk portion of the card or leave it a solid color.
How to do the Easy Faux Silk Technique –
Supplies: Stamp set of your choice’ Ink colors of your choice Piece of cardstock of desired size Multipurpose Liquid Glue tissue paper either white or colored about 1/2″ larger on all sides than cardstock
Instructions: 1. If you want a design on your faux silk, stamp it now on the piece of tissue paper. Then crumple the tissue paper into a tight ball. 2. Open the ball up and lightly smooth the tissue paper out leaving lots of wrinkles still in it. 3. Apply glue all over the cardstock using the broad end of the Multipurpose Liquid Glue. 4. Lay the tissue down on the glue pressing it down into the glue wrinkles and all. Allow to dry. 5. When dry, trim off the excess tissue paper and use this for a layer on your card. You could use a larger piece of cardstock and tissue paper and create a lovely paper for a small gift box.
To Make Card
Supplies: Stamp Set – Timeless Tropical (151497) Inks – Old Olive and Soft Suede Stampin’ Write Markers, Memento Ink Pad, Combo Flirty Flamingo Stampin’ Blends Cardstock – Crumb Cake 11″ x 4 1/4″ scored and folded at 5 1/2″ for card base, Old Olive 5 1/4″ x 4″, Whisper White 4 7/8″ x 3 7/8″ plus scrap for greeting, Soft Suede scrap Accessories – Stitched So Sweetly Dies (151690), Multipurpose Liquid Glue, white tissue paper, paper snips, SNAIL adhesive, Stampin0 Dimensionals
Instructions: 1. Ink the palm tree stamp with the markers and randomly stamp all over the piece of tissue paper. 2. Follow the instructions for the Faux Silk technique as above. 3. Adhere the Old Olive CS to card front and the faux silk layer to the Old Olive layer. 4. Stamp the greeting and the plumeria flower on scraps of Whisper White CS with memento ink. Color the flower with the Stampin’ Blends and cut out with the paper snips. 5. Die-cut the greeting with the third from inside Stitched So Sweetly rectangle die and use the next size up to cut a layer from the Soft Suede CS. This leaves a fairly large border around the white label so I cut the Soft Suede layer down a bit. I show you how in the video. 6. Layer the labels together with SNAIL and then adhere them to the card front. Add the flower with a Stampin’ Dimensional.
Now it’s your turn to do the Faux Silk Technique. I’d love for you to share your end results with me. Email or text me a photo of it.
