How to Make a Stunning Waterfall Card with the Hello Spring Paper Pumpkin Kit
Interactive cards are always a hit, and today I’m sharing a super fun technique: the Waterfall Card! If you’ve never made one before, you’re in for a treat. This design features a clever pull-tab mechanism—each panel flips to reveal a new surprise. It’s an easy way to add movement to your cards and delight the recipient with every pull!
Repurposing the February Hello Spring Paper Pumpkin Kit
One of my favorite things about Paper Pumpkin kits is how versatile they are. For this project, I repurposed pieces from the February Hello Spring Paper Pumpkin kit, transforming them into a beautiful interactive card.
-
The printed card fronts from the kit serve as the background.
-
Each flip panel features an herb design from the kit: Chives, Basil, and Mint.
The cohesive look makes this card feel so special, and the details truly shine in this interactive format.
Coordinating with the Grow with Love Bundle
For the final panel, I wanted to keep the theme consistent, so I used the Stampin’ Up! Grow with Love Bundle to create a matching design.
-
I stamped the outline in Lost Lagoon and cut it out with the coordinating die.
-
The die and stamp set match the kit’s tags perfectly, making it easy to blend the elements seamlessly.
I also incorporated the Paper Pumpkin Spring is in the Air Dies to cut out the stamped blooms for the Chives panel. These coordinating products make crafting so much easier and allow you to stretch your supplies for even more creative projects!
I’ve created this step-by-step guide for you. It provides a templated and detailed measurements. It includes a complete with a clickable list of materials for both the cards.
