Hello and good day everyone! Here's my entry for the contest hosted by @mermaidvampire. A big gratitude to her for initiating this contest since paper crafting is one of my favorite hobby. And perfect timing, considering that this month is our anniversary with my hubby and I used to make greetings card as a simple offering in any occassion. My hubby used to make some cards too! Small things makes diffrence, simple card makes him smile and he really appreciate my simple present. Upon making this card, I made it discretly so he will not be suspecious what I am doing. It's a surprise! lol!

In this project, I chose vintage style which is our favorite mode. This is an inter-active card with the combinations of twisted easel card and waterfall card. The nice thing about easel is, you can let it stand or display. I chose brown color and add some embellishments. I made it simple, since this is a masculine card. So here's my working progress on how I made my anniversary card.

Materials:

brown card stock
design paper
scissor
pencil
double-sided tape
scoring board and trimmer
black fine liner
wood embellishmetnts
die-cut design
3D double-sided tape

The process:

Cut a piece of 11 x 5-1/2" brown cardstock and 2 pieces of 5 x 5". Score from 5 -1/2" in a landscape position and score at the diagonal position of 5 - 1/2". Then fold each scored line. Score 1/2" in the other cardstock , fold and attach to the long cardstock. This may serve as the main card position. Once you are done, cut a designed paper to cover your brown cardstock but lesser the dimension in each. Another brown cardstock to be use for the second page with the waterfall holder which is the long strip, then cut 11 x 1", fold in the middle then score 1/2" , 1" , and 1-1/2".

All the cuttings are done, let's proceed to assemble the designed paper. This is the front page, stick your diagonal designed paper using double-sided tape or glue.

For the second page, we will make a waterfall design. Prepare the 4 pieces of cardstock and designed paper, then stick or glue. Cut another strip of cardstock and glue it horizontally in the designed paper. Take the other long strip and glue all the 4 pieces of square. Be careful in sticking all the pieces and make sure that they are all align then glue again into the horizontal strip. You can add some designed paper depends on your choice. I added a "couple design" embellishments and stick in the middle of the square. Check carefully when you pull it down if all the 3 squares are easy to pull out. You can check in my previous post on how I made this waterfall style in this link here. Actually you can put some images but I don't have a printed photo for the moment.

For the last page, stick your designed paper, then add some embellishments . I used wood embellishments and my die-cut machine for the label. I stick the wood over the label. This may serve as your stopper when you display your cover page, so use 3D tape. The last page is done!

Now, let's go back to the front page and add some embellishments. I added wood embellishment and stick it to a designed paper and cardstock, then stick at the center of the diagonal designed paper.
