Christmas Mice Waterfall Sheet

I make Artist Trading Cards (ATCs) and waterfall cards are always quick to trade. I love the sweet innocence of these mice and, with 4 designs but only 3 spots, endless variations are possible.

I printed my design on matte photo paper, scored where marked and cut out the pieces. The trick with waterfall cards is to fold your pull in half with the PATTERNED sides together. I like to put DST across the back of the crossbar wings and add the separate crossbar piece while the waterfall is folded. I then add DST just below each fold line on the wrong side (blank) of the pull before adding my mice, starting with the bottom one.

Now that my waterfall is complete I use brads to secure it to my backing card which is actually part of a leftover Christmas card from last year. I had already used half a 1" round punch to give me a space n which to grasp the pull. If you were adding this to a greeting card I would add embroidery thread/twine to the pull instead.

A wonderfully quick, cheerful card with a difference.
