I recieved this very beautiful Christmas card from my friend and team mate, Satomi and it inspired me to make a couple of Cascade Cards using beautiful papers that I received FREE with my $90+ purchase. Gotta love Sale-A-Bration! It runs from 5 January to 28 February 2023.

Cascade card featuring Dainty Flowers paper - FREE during Sale-A-Bration 5 January - 28 February 2023 |
The card above also features flowers cut with the Organic Beauty dies and roughly coloured with watercolour pencils. I used Blushing Bride and Rich Razzleberry cardstock to coordinate with the paper. I kept this one simple using only one paper design to decorate the card.

Cascade card featuring Favoured Flowers paper - FREE during Sale-A-Bration 5 January-28 February 2023 |
For the card above, I used two designs from the paper pack and cut flowers and foliage with the Harvest dies and Chic dies since I do not yet have the Fragrant Flowers Bundle from the new mini catalogue that coordinates with this paper.
I did, however, use the Flat Adhesive-backed Pearls from the new Mini Catalogue that are absolutely stunning! I couldn't do them justice with my photo
I used Evening Evergreen, Blackberry Bliss and Fresh Freesia cardstock to coordinate with the colours in the paper.
I calculated my dimensions for the card to maximise the size whilst still fitting into a C6 envelope.
Please contact me if you would like more details and I'll be happy to email a tutorial.

'Til next time
