I followed the steps at SCS Tutorials for the Waterfall Card. They do an excellent explanation with pictures for you to follow along.

First, I randomly stamped all the hippos on the Sahara Sand card front, using Tuxedo Black Memento.

I then stamped a different hippo on each of the 1-7/8" Sahara Sand squares and colored them, using various markers.

Next, I adhered the Sahara Sand squares to a colored 2" square and laid them out on my table in the order I wanted them to appear on the card.

I scored the long purple piece and adhered the squares onto it, keeping them in order. Note that only the top of the square is attached to the strip.

Next, I placed this strip on the card front to see where I should attach the Berry Burst strip. I did not adhere the hippos yet. You want to make sure the strip is somewhat in the center of the card. I removed the strip and attached the Berry Burst strip to the card front only, using two eyelets.

I then adhered the strip permanently onto the Berry Burst strip as shown in the instructions from the link above.

Lastly, I added an eyelet at the bottom of the strip and threaded some twine for pulling the waterfall card down. I left the inside blank for a handwritten message to be added when it is given.

Here are the pictures of the rest of the squares:
