Cricut Design SpaceHi Guys! Come on in and see what I’m doing today!

I’m making an SVGCuts Waterfall Baby Card for our friend’s grandchild – due in about two weeks. Above you can see the pieces in Cricut Design Space. You purchase the svg files, download them to your computer, and upload them into Cricut Design Space.

When you purchase svg files from SVGCuts you have to remember to attach the score lines, otherwise they are separate and won’t be where they’re supposed to be. I MAY have forgotten to do this before . . .

svgcutsAbove is a screenshot of the instructions that are included in the downloaded files – I still like to print hard copies (old school).
2016-05-27 18.42.10I used my AWESOME Cricut Explore and cut out the pieces from Close To My Heart cardstock. I used White Daisy, Whisper, Sweet Leaf, Canary, Glacier, and the several sheets from Close To My Heart’s Fundamental paper packs.

CTMH Fundamental paper packs coordinate with the solid colors but have patterns – easy to add patterns and interest to your projects and takes the guesswork out of coordinating paper. Love it!!!!

2016-05-27 18.42.43Above is the base in CTMH Whisper and I’m using my Scor-Buddy to score a fold line down the middle of the card.

2016-05-27 18.43.23I used my eBosser and the Cricut Cuddlebug Swiss Dots embossing folder to emboss raised dots on the blocks.
2016-05-27 18.45.15In the top picture you see my Xyron Create-a-Sticker to put adhesive on the back of the smaller pieces – the best way to get adhesive edge to edge.

In the bottom picture you see the completed blocks. Really . . . those googly eyes are freaking me out a little . . .

2016-05-27 18.46.29Here’s the waterfall part. In the top picture, I attached the waterfall section to the base with green flower brads.

In the middle photo, I folded the long section under and through to the right – then when you pull the end with the punched circle, it feeds through and flips the blocks one after the other.

In the bottom photo, I added adhesive to the biggest section.
2016-05-27 18.46.50Adding the blocks. Top left photo is the first block – it has adhesive over the entire back.

The rest of the photos show each block attached along the left edge.
2016-05-27 18.49.12This photo shows the blocks “waterfalling” (cascading???) as the ribbon is pulled to the right.

2016-05-27 18.49.56I used the We R Memory Keepers app to calculate the envelope’s paper size and then scored the paper to create an envelope with the Envelope Punch Board.

2016-05-27 18.50.47And here is the finished card and envelope – isn’t it so cute??? I love the paper. Wow . . . just . . . wow!!!
