Becky's Stampin' Studio: Fluffiest Friends Cascading Pleats Card

I just LOVE this fold! Stay tuned to more ideas! This one uses our new, darling Fluffy Friends Bundle in the Online Exclusives Store for a birthday card, using the sentiments from the Zany Zoo Bundle. It could also be a darling Baby Card, too!

Measurements:

Thick Basic White: 4 1/4" x 9 1/2" (base), 3 1/2" x 4 3/4" (middle base), 2 3/4" x 4" (front base); 4" x 5 1/4" (base layer), 3 1/4" x 4 1/4" (middle layer), 2 1/2" square (sentiments), 7/8" x 3 1/2" (inside sentiment)
Basic White: scraps
Bright & Beautiful: 3 1/4" x 4 1/2"
Soft Shimmer: scraps (Bubble Bath)

To Make This Card:

TakeWhite Base and score along long side at 5 1/2" - 6 1/2" - 7 1/2" - 8 1/2".
Next, turn this piece and score 3/4" from top for 3", and then move down to 1 1/2" and score for only 1". These score lines will intersect with 2 of the other score lines, and will be our guides for cutting the cascades.
Now, take your paper snips. Cut along the 1 1/2" score mark to the 1" intersection. Then cut diagonally to the next scored section, then cut straight to the 3" line and diagonally to the main, center fold. Looks kind of weird, doesn't it.
Next make accordion fold with those 3 areas! There's your base!
To create the rest of the base, Place Tear n Tape on middle section and add middle base. Place Tear n Tape on the front section, and add the front "base". Now the main part of your card is done! Now it's time to decorate!
First, attached the DSP to the middle layer.
Then, dry emboss the front and back layers with the "cross hatched" embossing folder from the Basics 3D Embossing Folders in the Online Exclusive Store.
Attach these pieces to the front and back panels.
Now, to add the "details".
Stamp the little bunny from the Fluffy Friends in Momento Black. Outline him in Smokey Slate Blends, add a little color to his ears and feet with Bubble Bath blends, and other details as desired. Die cut with corresponding die.
At the same time, stamp and color the little "bird" from the Fluffy Friends set. Aslo, die cut with corresponding die. Set aside.
Next stamp 3 sentiments from Zany Zoo in Momento black onto scraps of White. Die cut the long one with the Banner Die, and the other 2 with Stitched Circle dies, all from the Stylish Shapes dies.
Now, die cut one each of the 2 balloons from the Bubble Bath Soft Shimmer ...and grab your Gray Granite Bakers Twine from the Essentials Bakers Twine pack.
Next, add the "bunny" to the front panel, tucking one circle/sentiment behind one ear.
For the middle panel, attach a piece of Bakers Twine behind one balloon. Attach balloon to card, add a rolled glue dot to the Twine that will be behind the "banner", then, add the "banner" with Dimensionals.
Now, go to the back panel. Add the little bird to the panel. Tuck one of the circles behind the little birds' head as well.
Again, attach a piece of Twine to the balloon. Adhere to back of card where desired. Run Twine down through the birdie's beak (attach with a ball of Mini Glue Dot) and let extend below.
I finished with a Silver trimmed knot, colored with Bubble Bath Blend, and a few scattered Silver Sparkle Gems.
