Hi everyone, I love to combine card styles and was looking back at my older cards and thought the Cascade style would look great inside a Gatefold card.
I think this totally transforms the cascade style and turns it into a real showstopper card.
I used the Dovecraft Butterfly Kisses for the purple version and the new Dovecraft Finding Paradise for the yellow and pink one.
You can really build this card up more and add bars inside the 2 concertina sections to create a pop-up box effect, similar to the Pop-Up Gatefold card I shared recently.
The card has a belly band to keep it together or you can pop it into one of my envelope boxes here.
The Butterfly Kisses, Decoupage pad works great for the belly band topper.
