How to...

Today we're going to do the Waterfull fold, it's super easy & very impressive.

I Scrap on 8 1/2" x11" paper, but u can use 12"x12" if u want. Also u can do up to 6 sq's I only used 4 for this lesson.

K so to start we're going to cut 1 strip (red) of 2 1/2" x 11" paper or 2 1/2"x12" if thats what u want to use, 1 1"x8 1/2"(yellow) or 1"x12". Then we're going to cut 4 sq's @ 2 3/4". U want ur sq's. just a 1/4" bigger than the strip.

Next we're going take our red strip & score it. To do this put in ur score blade & start 2" from the bottom, then we're going to score every 1/2" until we have 5 score lines (as we're doing 4 sq's) Fold along the score line in the same direction (as shown) The more u bend the lines the better it'll move later on.

Now we're ready to glue the 1st sq. on. I like to put the glue on the strip, just be careful not to get glue on the score line. The space that is 2" is now the bottom & thats where we'll glue the 1st sq.

With the 1st sq. added we can add all the others. I like to stamp, glue on pix & embellish before I glue them onto the strip.

So now we've got the hard part done, I hope it's making sense, sometimes I have a hard time explaing things LOL (don't ask y I put together a "how to" blog lol)

This might be the trickiest bit of all & the hardest to explain. Now we're going to take our yellow strip & place it inbetween the bottom sq. & the red strip.

Once u have the waterfull where u want it on the page, u can go ahead & glue it down to the page. Just be super careful not to get any glue on the red, if u do, the pull won't work.

U can add a little "pull tab if u like so people know there's more to come. Don't worry if it's a little stiff @ 1st, it will ease up with time & playing.

Embellish the rest of the page as desired, sometimes I like to add a staple or 2 (or 3) to the yellow strip just for an extra hold. Also be careful with the other embellie's won't get in the way of the flow on the fold.
