Hello in this tutorial I show you how to make a card like this, known as cascading card
Material
cardstock of various colors, use colors that complement each other, optional the downloadable graphics of craftingeek
to decorate you can use stickers, markers, colored ribbons or whatever you want
scissors, pencil, ruler and glue stick or double sided tape
take the cardstock, trace and cut a base figure of 20 x 15 cm and a strip of 25 x 5 cm
with different color make a strip of 11 x 2 cm and 4 squares of 5 x 5 cm
you should have something like this, 4 squares, 2 strips like this and the base
take the biggest strip and make marks in the top and bottom at 5, 7, 9 and 11 cm
you should have spaces of 2 cm between each mark, join each pair of marks with a line
mark the fold on each line
the secret of this card is in the folds, so make sure to mark them well
when you finish, leave aside and take the base
fold in half marking well the fold
take the smallest strip, we will glue it in front of the base, not so up and not so down
like 1 cm above of the bottom, put glue just on the edges only
I will use double-sided tape because it is easier and faster but you can use any type of adhesive
when you finish, glue the strip
surely you have leftovers, cut them with scissors
take the bigger strip and insert through the middle
put glue in the back, make sure it´s well aligned
take the glue and put it in the center
take the strip with folds and glue it where you put glue, make sure it´s well aligned
take the squares and glue them on each fold
put glue here and glue a square, make sure it´s well aligned
put glue here
and glue another square, making sure it´s well aligned
do the same with the other sections, put glue and put squares over it
when you finish try it, pull the bottom and mark the fold of each square
If you want you can round the edges of the largest strip
do this with the scissors
the card is finished, now we just have to decorate
I´ll put decorative graphics and photos in the front
the recommended measures are squares of 5 x 5 or 4.5 x 4.5 cm if you want to have a frame
if you want you can write a message
use the figures of your perforator
you can also make a frame with different colored cardstock
so that people can pull the strip, put ribbon on the bottom, make a hole in the center
cut a piece of ribbon and fold in half
pass the tips through the perforation
don´t pull all, you´ll have a small gap
take the tips and pass through the gap
tighten and you´ll have something like this
now you can gift the card, if you pull the photo will move
if you open it it will contain a message
