Ready to add movement to your cardmaking? My new free waterfall card design is sure to brighten anyone's day! It's easy to cut with a cutting machine (even a Cricut Joy!) and is totally customizable with different cardstock. There's even an included envelope, so you can make and mail it the same day! You can add a special message on the front or back of the clouds, or inside the card. I chose a rainbow theme, but once you have the steps down, you can customize your own cards using other shapes, too!

[@gillianthompson1655]

I like how it's easy for us newbies, however do you make tutorials showing the steps on design space getting the shapes and sizes, showing how to measure for placement of the creases etc. Ex; I attempted to do a shutter card, and on a rectangle I needed to put a 2" circle 1.50 in from left edge, and 1" in from top and bottom edge. Still haven't figured it out. I have your booklet but couldn't find anything helpful for this. Anyway I plan to try this one . Thanks,

[@JenniferMaker]

You are so welcome. You can check out the share card. jennifermaker.com/make-shaker-cards/

[@aprilmccloud6739]

Did she use a scoring tool for the strip pieces i didn't see her do that step or was it made with the blade

[@JenniferMaker]

Here are the details. jennifermaker.com/waterfall-card/

[@allyrob2957]

Love the shelf over your cricut... where did you get it?

[@JenniferMaker]

We designed and made them on our 3D printer. We plan to share the print files on our blog at some point for anyone else who wants them. There are two styles -- the one on the left uses PVC pipes, so it’s height adjustable to your needs. The one on the right is all 3D printed except for the table, which is a piece of wood screwed to the legs. Both meet the requirements in Cricut’s Safety Instructions for “a flat and stable surface” as the Cricuts are just sitting on stable tables.

[@christinekastens150]

Cute card, can it be made with the Joy

[@JenniferMaker]

Yes, you can! 😃 jennifermaker.com/waterfall-card/

[@gicelanunez2177]

[@gicelanunez2177]
