It's Holly here with another Thursday Tutorial. Boy, do I have a tutorial for you today! Check out this Fantabulous Cascading Card made Dr Sonia from Cards, Crafts and Kid Projects Cascading card Since this blog is called Fatabulous Cricut, we do like to see things made by Cricut but when I saw this card I was like WOW! I let the Cricut part slide this time because I can make a cascading card for you using Cricut cuts but more importantly this Fantabulous designer is from India! I'm guessing Cricut accessories aren't as readily available in India as they are here in Northern America and it's not like she can run down to her neighborhood Michael's and JoAnn's right? Let's give her a pass since her tutorial is so great..... Materials Required to make a cascading card Card stock : 2 pieces measuring 5.5 x 12 inches - use fairly thick sturdy card if you want to add lots of embellishments like I did. Scoring tool- if you dont have one use a blunt knife or dry pen. Scale Pencil Scissors Make the Panels of your Cascading Card Cascading card tutorial Mark 3 inches down one side of the card stock as shown. Cut off the white triangle you get as shown in the cascading card template.Do this for the other piece of 5.5 x 12 inch card too to get the panels of your cascading card. Mark the Panels The Cascading card is just 2 accordion folded cards interlocked together by slots.To help you know where to make your slots you can mark both your panels as shown. If you are using a scale mark the midpoint of 2 sides of your panel as shown. Measure 2 3/4 inch on the taller side and 1 1/4 inch on the shorter side.Join with a pencil line. Cascading card tutorial I used a score pal as shown below to help quickly find the midpoint. I marked the short side and turned it 180 degree clockwise to mark the longer side's midpoint. Cascading card tutorial Your Cascading card panels are mirror images and shown below is how the panels will look marked. Cascading card template Score your panels at 4 inch intervals[ black lines]. If using a score pal score at 4 and 8 inch mark. Make the slots:If you use a score pal it is super easy to make your slots.Drop down score lines to meet the pencil line marked earlier. The slots will be at 2 , 6 and 10 inch marks as shown. Cascading card tutorial Cut out 1-2mm wide slots.Accordion fold your panels as shown. The folds are Valley- Mountain in the 1st panel and Mountain- Valley for the 2nd panel of your cascading card. Cascading card template Interlock the slots of your cascading card starting from the taller end.The slots fit so nicely together that no glue is required and your card will expand and collapse at will! Dr. Sonia has many more detailed photos on her blog which you can check out HERE. I gave Dr. Sonia's tutorial a try so here's what I came up with for my cascading card. If you remember my Thursday's post from last week I mentioned everyone was "sicky-poo" in my house so I made a "Get Well Bug" cascading card for us. My "Get Well Bugs" are cut from the Paisley cartridge and the stamped sentiments are from My Pink Stamper. You can check out more details about my card on my blog at Ribbons & Glue. I hope this cascading card inspires you to give Dr. Sonia's tutorial a try!

Woohoo! It's Tuesday - are you ready for another Quick Tip? I'm Larelyn and I'll be your hostess for the next few months. Do you have those moments when you read someone's blog, a craft magazine, or view a video and you think, "Why didn't I think of that?" I love it when I come across ideas that make crafting or organizing a little simpler. I plan to share some of things that have made my crafting life easier and more organized. Today I'll share a chart I made that references card and envelope sizes. I usually stick with cards that fit the standard invitation-sized envelope (A2), but there are times when I find a great deal on other size envelopes or I just want a larger or smaller card. Some envelopes are listed by the letter (A2, A6, etc.) and others by the dimensions. The trick is to figure out what size card fits each envelope. This chart provides you with the finished card size, the paper size you need before folding, where to fold (including GATEFOLD cards), and the envelope size and dimensions. If you have the Martha Stewart Score Board, this information can be found on the chart that fits in the bone folder section. However, that chart is way too small for my old eyes and I have to tilt the Score Board to even read it. So, I hope you find this chart a little handier. Just click on the chart to make it larger. I hope you'll join me next Tuesday for another Quick Tip. Hugs and Happy Crafting, Larelyn

Haylee's Closet creates custom carved wooden signs for that perfect personalized addition to your home decor. All of our signs are hand painted and lightly distressed for that perfect cottage or country chic feel. Each sign is equipped with saw tooth hooks for easy hanging. **** MEASUREMENTS **** This sign measures 20" wide by 13" high and 3/4" thick OR 24" wide by 16" high and 3/4" thick **** HOW TO ORDER **** 1. Click "Add To Cart" at the top of the page and follow the checkout instructions. 2. Color choices are for the BACKGROUND of the sign. We do NOT offer color choices for the text. Colors will be done as shown in our color chart (base color, natural/darkened text). The color chart is pictured in each listing. Our base color is the color that is painted underneath the top coat (the color you choose at checkout), so when the sign is sanded, the base color pops through a little bit. If you would like a base color other than is what is shown in our color chart pic, (or if you would like no base color at all) please request so in the "note to seller" box when checking out. Feel free to ask any other questions that you may have! Thank you very much!!
