I was on a create as needed weekend

I just love this cascading card, my friend Terri told me about this so I searched for it on Youtube and about 100 tutorials came up. I closed my eyes and picked one and tada! I made one. This kind of card is good for using die cuts, stickers, and punched out items. I took a sheet from a Martha Stewart pad I had and cut out the individual little pictures.

This is my new favorite kind of card, the cascading card.

I followed a really easy tutorial I found on Youtube. The one thing I couldn't control was how the two sides came together. The first card I made had white on the back side of the paper  I didn't really like that. When I tried to cut a second piece the white always showed up at some of the folds. I decided to use double sided paper and I liked that much better.

 a side shot, the card can fit into and envelope if you don't go crazy with the embellishments.  Obviously mine cannot. No worries I just didn't put it in one. 

I had to add a few pictures of the cake from the 1st birthday we went to

my sister-in-law made this. She said it took about 4 days on and off.

everything is edible. 

 Iwent to a baby shower and I made a set of thank you cards for the mother to be.

I kept it very simple, not really knowing the mothers taste in stationary and I wanted them to fit into envelopes.

I added a few without baby stamps on them for other occasions 

all tied up with a bow

there are 20 cards with envelopes
