- This is a design team project extra tutorial that I’m doing for Country Craft Creations. I have had questions about how I make these so I’ll walk through my process, talk about sizing, and we will make examples of odd and even numbers of pages. There isn’t a printable but I do have notes in the video, please feel free to screen shot them and make notes. I think you’ll like how these waterfalls come together.
If you only knew how much you just saved my sanity!!! I can never get my waterfalls straight. Thank you!!
@@orneryvixen I’m so glad you like this method. I really do as well and use it all of the time now. Thanks so much for watching!
Hi Michelle! Omg just this waterfall method! I made both ..the odd & even waterfalls just using up a bunch of scraps I had...so much easier for me to do since I have very bad issues with my hands. I have learned so much from you & Tiffany w/ Let's Get Scrappy....you both are so talented. Thank you again & stay blessed my friend ❤️
That’s wonderful! I could never get straight waterfalls the traditional way and all those pieces! Ugh!!! I’m so glad this helped you, I know it sure has helped me tremendously! Thanks for letting me know. Have a wonderful day!
Michelle, you are an absolutely amazing and talented designer and teacher. I am just getting back into making mini albums again after taking a long break to make cards,and I am learning soooo much watching all of your videos!
@@lauras6890 this is the first comment I’m seeing today and I do appreciate you being so sweet and taking the time to do it! I’m so glad you liked it and I hope you enjoy many more of my videos! Welcome back to this paper obsession!💕
This is the best tutorial on waterfall!!! Thank you!!!
@@ManishaMande-sm7mv Thank you so much! I’m using this method exclusively now. It’s so simple. Thanks so much for taking the time to comment 😍
JennDuBell was talking about this method of yours in our zoom group. I don't usually have a huge problem with waterfalls but problems do arise and this method is ingenious. Thank you !!
You’re so welcome!! I love this method and use it all of the time.
Hi Michelle! Wow...I just came across your stacked waterfall tutorial...omg I just love it!!! Such a brilliant concept & so easy to make & assemble. I surely will be using this method from now on! Thank you for sharing & stay blessed my friend ❤️
I just love this method. I use it all the time and it’s so easy. I do hope you love it as much as I do. Let me know what you think after you make one❤️
Wow! Thank you so much for this tutorial!! I have always struggled to create waterfalls for mini albums and folios. In fact, I abandoned a mini album that I was designing because the waterfall element was soooooo messed up! That will never be an issue again thanks to you! After watching the video, I went right to the craft desk and made a perfect waterfall. It ain't pretty cause it's all mismatched scraps, but it is perfect!
That just made my day! I am so happy you tried it and liked it. 🤗Thank you!
OMG!!!❤ You are a genius! I was really struggling to make these waterfalls and couldn't seem to wrap my crazy brain around the steps! Thank you so much! You make this look like a piece of cake! I'm visual and your diagrams really helped! I'm no longer confused! Lol Super excited to get busy with my photos! I will definitely be checking out more videos from you! Thank you so much!❤❤❤🎉

Michelle:
I just wanted to thank you for all the wonderful tutorials that you meticulously do with such great, amazing, wonderful detail, full of information that anybody literally can follow. I’ve really learned so much from watching your tutorials that I am learning to really appreciate my things that I make.. I made your 8x10 wedding album and gave it to my sister who gave it to a friend and they were literally blown away with the entire album. Even the father of the bride was amazed. Please keep doing whatever makes you such a great asset to Country Craft Creations. You are an asset for sure.I made a waterfall that was 3 1/2 wide with 4 pcs of paper (artisan of course). For Tamra to give all the designers such quality products that make the designers to do this all for free, while so many others charge for what you do. I for one couldn’t afford it. So again thank you from the bottom of my heart.
That is such a nice note you wrote, and I thank you so much. Crafting, especially paper crafting is my passion, and I believe in sharing the knowledge, just like Tamra and the rest of the Country Craft Creations Designers do. We love this, and the ultimate is when someone else gets the same joy in making the projects that we do. I really do appreciate your support and thank you so much!
@@michelleallenacreativeoper6112 you are so welcome 💙🙏🏼.

@@michelleallenacreativeoper6112 trying to figure out a cute closure for it
Nice way to make a waterfall like a lot
Thank you!
Another winner! Thank you.
Thank you!
WOWZA - I just learned to use my scoreboard to line my waterfalls up, this is just the icing on the cake! No more crooked waterfalls! Thank you!
Thanks so much for watching!!
This is a fantastic alternative method. My waterfalls always come out crooked. I’ll be using your method from now on. Thank you. Great tutorial! 😊
I’m so happy that you liked it!
Thank you for dis tutorial💕
I hope that you like doing these waterfalls with this method as much as I do. It’s so easy!
Thank you so much for sharing your stacked waterfall technique. It really makes waterfalls so much easier to create.
I’m so glad you like it!!
Thank you oh so much!
You're so welcome!
Brilliant!

Thank you so much! What a lovely comment!🥰
Thanks for sharing this genius idea, I made the waterfall following your WF Folio and LOVE it, easy and beautiful, thanks so much...Love your channel and creativity!
Thank you! I really love this method!
Thank you so much
I’m happy you like it.
THANK YOU!!! 😍
You’re welcome!!! These are a game changer!
I made a waterfall in minutes using your method. I saw it on the recipe album you did. I figured up the math after understanding the concept and it was quick and easy. Thank you.
You’re welcome!
I love this method, have made lots of waterfall pages, but this is so easy to keep neat and straight! I have already showed this to a couple of my fellow paper crafters (yes I gave you credit) and they loved it too! It just makes sense! It’s one of those idea’s that you give yourself a “head slap” and say and WHY didn’t I think of that !
I’m glad you and your friends liked it!!! Thank you!
This is simply brilliant! I might never make a "traditional" waterfall again! THANK YOU!!!
Thank you so much!!
Thank you SOOOOOOOO much for this and the print out. I used to dread making a waterfall. Always crooked, no never !, You are the best
I'm glad you like it!!
Wow. Amazing! Thank you so much for sharing. New subbie.😊
Awesome! Welcome to my channel!
Great idea! I like my pages to be 4.5", so I figured I could easily piece the largest layer and hide the seam under the stack. Thank you, trying this right away
I would do a butt seam and keep the pieces together with washi until the second layer is glued on, securing them. Stacked waterfall, brilliant!
I hope you like it!
Wonderful tutorial. Easy to understand. Good teaching style. Thank you!
Thank you!
What a great idea Michelle! You are a genius!
Thank you!!
Great technique. You’re a great instructor.
Thank you so very much! I really appreciate that!
Michelle this is genius!!! Thank you for the very clear instructions. I am going to give this a try later as I struggle to get my waterfalls straight :)
I hope you like it!
@@michelleallenacreativeoper6112 You clever, clever, clever lady. It worked and I love it!!! Thank you so much for sharing this, it takes the stress out of me making a waterfall :)
Thankfully you showed this because when u started talking numbers you lost me. Lol 😆 🤣 I hope I'm not alone in that situation 😬.
I’m glad that helped. It can be confusing. Thanks for watching!
Wonderful - I have always dreaded making waterfalls - Thank you so much for creating this new method
You're welcome!
Genius! This is awesome! I swear every waterfall I’ve tried turned out crooked or would go to a slant. Thanks so much for sharing and explaining so clearly. I will not be intimidated by a waterfall again. ☺️
WONDERFUL!!!
I'm totally trying this later! This is great!
Oh cool! Let me know how you like it!
Wonderful tutorial!! Makes perfect sense! Thank you very much, I can hardly wait to try it!
Let me know how you like it!
Basically its Lori Dennison "stack the deck" waterfall. Thank you so more Lori for stack the deck! Where would us scrapbookers be without her!!!
The part I hate to do is the papers "In between" its that 1/2 lip that normally be glued down.
Yes, it is similar to her binding. And it makes a heck of a waterfall!
@@michelleallenacreativeoper6112 Im going to use it. Tfs
Awesome!
Thank you so much for sharing! That`s a great way to make waterfalls and gives a really nice finish.
It’s my go to now! Thanks for watching!
What a great tutorial! S was the easiest waterfall ever! Thank you so much for sharing 💕
Thank you! I love that method! I’m so glad you do too🤗
It works! ;-) Dominique
Yes! I love this method!
This is absolutely genius! Thank you so much.
You’re welcome! I love this method, it’s so easy and they are perfect every time!
Thank you soooo much! Your demo and charts! Just perfect! 😊
Thank you!
Ong..I love waterfalls but keeping them straight..ugh..makes total sense!
Thanks so much!
Using the scoreboard is genius!
Thank you so much!
Great idea especially when you are trying to control bulk.
A great system! Thank you for sharing with us. I'm saving this for sure.
Awesome, I'm glad you liked it!
Wow! I just made this for an album I was creating. It came out perfectly. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
I am so glad you liked it, you made my day!!
This is fantastic - I will definitely be trying this method. I do my spine using Laura Denison’s stack the deck method, so this should be easy for me to fathom out. You crafters are little genius’ with paper xxx
I hope you like it!
I have now made the stacked waterfall now. It is easy and straightforward - thank you once again for sharing xx
@@Craftjenny101 I'm so glad you like it, thanks for letting me know!
Thank you so much for this tutorial!!! I have struggled with keeping my waterfalls straight. They will be straight on way but crooked when it's flipped up, so frustrating!!! Can't wait to try this!!
I can't wait to hear how you like it!
TOTALLY makes sense :) I was trying to think ahead on the odd number of pages waterfall -- I thought you'd just cut your base piece 4" shorter and just score that piece at 4". Then you'd have the 3 1/2" section to glue your other pages in. Surprise! Not the way you did it. Another great tutorial -- thank you!
Thanks for watching!
Thank you! I have wasted lots of paper trying to get these straight!
Me too! I love this method.
OMG so much easier!
I think so too!
I had just done the old method in a book I am preparing prior to vacation. This new method-so much easier and neater as well as a time saver!
It’s amazing as usual ❤️
Thank you!
This is awesome! Thank you so much for doing this and making it available. BTW...it absolutely made sense :)
Yay!!!! I’m so glad you liked it!
This is brilliant!! 💕
Thank you so much!!!
And here I thought I came up with the idea 💡 😂
I’m sure others have too at some point. It was an ah-ha moment for me and I thought I’d share.
I love people that share! Hopefully, someday I will be able to too. Thx@@michelleallenacreativeoper6112
Hi how are you? Waterfalls looks so nice, however my issue is keeping them straight, therfore I avoid or make group of 3..lol. This may solve my issue..I wrote measurements because screen shot even expanded larger I still couldn't see it..I've made few stack the deck albums. Plus I like any ideas for flat album, it's so much better...I hv to try it, because I enjoy marking albums and folios. Thanks so much...
I’m glad you liked the tutorial. This is by far my favorite method.
I would probably not turn my scoreboard when aligning so that I could have the grooves to help me make sure it is straight...Do you think this would work?
Absolutely. Whatever is easy for you. ❤️
Can you just do squares and how do they glue together? Thank you!
I’m not sure what you mean about doing squares but the “gluing” together happens at minute 8.
Hi Michelle, I’m wondering do you know how to do a double waterfall one on each side with a slider in the middle that moves the waterfall up and down opens it and closes it
I have done those before. I don’t think I have a specific tutorial but can do one. Thanks so much for asking. Definitely I’ll figure out a project and do a tutorial soon. 🤗
Hi! I have been trying to get myself together to do a tutorial on a couple waterfalls including the push water fall. In the meantime one of the other Country Craft Creations designers is doing one in her album. She beat me to it! 😂😂😂. Her part 1 video is here. czcams.com/video/6cOvv-10tNU/video.htmlsi=ZbCHjHJQrVUtqC27 I’m still planning on doing the video but in case you need it quicker than I’m getting it done here is her version.
Maybe I missed it but how do you determine the spine measurements?
It depends on the amount of pages you want to make. Three pages would have 2, 1/2" gussets, so the spine would be 1". Four pages would be 1 1/2", and so on.
Hi getting ready to make a 5 page finished size 4 1/2x 6 1/2 waterfall using your cheat sheet for a stacked waterfall. I’m confused on your notes. I understand omit the 10( which would be the 4 1/2 x 10 sheet. I do not understand the notes in parentheses ( 4 1/2 x 5 1/2 with 2 “ spine).
The notes in parentheses are the total dimensions for the finished waterfall, completed and flattened.
@@michelleallenacreativeoper6112 I thought that was the 7 1/2 x 6 1/2 measurement. I was looking at the information in parentheses in the last column.
@@michelleallenacreativeoper6112 I made one and measured everything… got it! Thanks and Happy Thanksgiving.
Same as stack the deck?
Similar concept but for waterfalls not binding.
