Making up your Cards

Cascade Cards

Measure an A4 piece of card 12.5cm up from one edge and mark it, cut a diagonal line from the mark to the top of the other edge of the card, this when folded into three will give you your tri-fold card shape.



 I have designed the most cascades so that they can be layered onto coloured or mirror card before adding to the finished card. I fold the card before I assemble the card placing the largest piece first then the smallest piece I finally add the central piece lining up as I go along.

Decoupage

These are very easy to make, all you do is cut out and lay them one on top of each other, using 2 or 3mm double sided sticky pads or silicone glue as dividers to get a great 3 dimensional effect.

Fold Back Cards

Pyramid Sheets and Spiral Pyramid Sheets

Simply cut out the rectangles and layer them one on top of each other using 1mm or 2mm double sided sticky pads or silicone glue as dividers.
Use the largest rectangle as the base and build directly on top of it.
The reason they are called pyramid sheets is if you turn the card on its side and look at the finished product it looks like a pyramid.
Spiral pyramids work the same way only this time you have to twist the cut outs slightly to line them up with the original image. The finished product is a twist pyramid that looks very professional indeed.

Toppers
