Donut Waterfall Card…with Kelly

I fell in love with the adorable caterpillar made of donuts (doughnuts?!)! I told my husband that I am putting in a request for one on my birthday…in December! 😂 He better start practicing now!

Until then, I decided to make my card with a donut character theme, too. I settled on talking donuts. The perfect way to line them up…a waterfall card, revealing their secret message!

I placed the waterfall mechanism on the front of the card. My donut image is from The Greetery’s “Sweet Tooth” with my own paper googly eye additions. I cut up a sentiment from the set and added a word to each panel, as well as a bow from “Sweetest Frames.”

I had never made a waterfall card before. YouTube has amazing tutorials! My favorites were by Gina K (Gina K Designs), Lisa Curcio (Lisa’s Stamp Studio), and Sam Calcott (Sam Calcott UK) …so helpful and clear!

The inside of the card has one more talking donut, along with a sentiment that I cut with my little Cricut Joy (also used to cut “sweet” used on the front of the card).

I hope you get to have a little fun playing along with us this week! For now, I’m off to the kitchen. I’m suddenly feeling hungry for something sweet! ❤️
