Very snappy look.
I have instructions for the wax paper technique, but haven't seen any on how to create a waterfall card. This looks like a really good way to display those sets of 4. Could you direct me, please?

To Create the waterfall effect, youneed a strip of cardstock about 1 1/2-2" wide and almost the full length of your 11" side of cardstock. You score it at 2" and then every 3/4" after that three times. Fold all score lines in same direction to create a bend. You then cut and mat your image on 2' squares, matted on 2 1/4" squares. Starting with the bottome image you will then adhere the squares to the strip of cardstock. (This would be the 2" piece you have scored. Then you will have a 3/4" piece to glue the next piece onto. Once you have finished adhering the four pieces, you will cut a 1 1/2" strip across your page which will serve to hold down the tab that will pull your waterfall open. Line up the top square with the top of your page and then adhere the bottom strip to the piece that will be attached horizontally on your card. I adhered that horizontal strip to the card with brads. Once this is all assembled you tuck the long strip behind this band and pull to create the waterfall effect. I hope this makes some sense. If you need further direction please ask.
