Waterfall Valentine Card

Welcome to Karen Burniston's February '23 Designer Challenge, where KB gave her Design Team this challenge:  Theme: "WEDDING, ANNIVERSARY or VALENTINES" - Love is in the card!

I decided to create a waterfall card Valentine for my hubby, and below you can see what the card looks like as you slide the tab to the right.

Rather than use the included rectangles with the Waterfall Card die set, I added her Banners Crosshatch to the first three folds. Each of the four areas were decorated with patterned paper, cut aparts & stickers as well as die cut words (also from Karen Burniston)

When I was pretty much finished the card, I found that the pull tab was catching on that black card stock panel. To remedy that, I added strips of acetate to the front and back of the pull tab and it pulls smoothly with no more catching! The strips were long enough to tuck under the last waterfall panel by about 1/2" so there is no chance of it popping out when the pull tab is fully extended.

For the final panel, I use 5th included squares and one of the Love Charms.

When doing Waterfall Cards, I prefer to make them Post Card style, and for that reason I don't add foam tape or bulk to the back of the card. I added the Happy Valentine's Day and two more Love Charms onto the back and will write my personal message there as well.

The rest of the Design Team is linked on the right side of my blog and I hope you will check out what they came up with for the challenge. Karen Burniston will have her post tomorrow (Wednesday) on her BLOG.

Late last year I was asked how many cards I make but I didn't have a clear number. Since many of my posts include more than a single card or project, I thought it would be fun to keep track this year.
