Tri-fold Teacup card for the Stamping INKspirations Blog Hop

Posted on by

Hello and welcome to the Stamping INKspirations Blog Hop where we are showcasing fun fold cards. I have made a pretty tri-fold teacup card using the lovely Design A Daydream designer series paper.

Colours used in this project are:

 

To recreate the tri-fold teacup card, you will need:

Mint Macaron card – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored and folded at a smidgeon over 2” and at 4⅛”
Design A Daydream dsp – 5⅝” by 4”
Design A Daydream dsp – 5⅝” by 1⅞”
Design A Daydream dsp – 3¾” by 1⅞”
Basic White – 5⅝” by 1⅞”
Basic White – 3” by 3”
Vellum – 3” by 3”
Scrap Basic White card

 

I scored the Mint Macaron card using the Simply Scored Scoring Tool. The score lines were then folded and burnished.

Using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive, I glued the largest piece of dsp to the largest panel of the card base. I placed the two strips of dsp against the relevant panels of the card base and marked, in pencil where I needed to trim the dsp on an angle. I used my Paper Trimmer to cut the dsp down. The pieces were glued to the card front.

I repeated this step with the 5⅝” by 1⅞” strip of Basic White card. The sentiment from the Happiness Abounds stamp set was stamped in Blackberry Bliss ink onto the panel before it was glued to the inside panel of the card base. I inked each word up individually before stamping.

The sentiment comes from the Sit. Stay. Relax. Stamp set. I masked off the words I didn’t want and inked up the remainder with Gorgeous Grape ink, removed the mask and stamped it onto the strip of Highland Heather. I flagged the end and added it to the card front.

I have been playing with the Brewed For You stamp set today and have made card which would be great for a child or young teenager.

Colours used in this project are:

 

To recreate the juice anyone? Card, you will need:

Smoky Slate card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored and folded at 4⅛”
Daffodil Delight card – 5⅝” by 3⅞”
Abigail Rose dsp – 5½” by 3¾”
Basic Gray card – 4” by 2¾”
Basic White card – 4” by 2¾”
Basic White card – 5½” by 3¾” – for the inside

I used Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive to add the panel of Abigail Rose dsp to the Daffodil Delight layer. A length of White Baker’s Twine was wrapped around the panel before it was glued to the Smoky Slate card base.

Six glasses were stamped in Basic Gray ink onto scrap Basic White card. To create the fruit juice effect, I stamped the inner image in Tahitian Tide ink for blue raspberry, Parakeet Party for limeade, Daffodil Delight for lemonade, Sweet Sorbet for strawberry and Blackberry Bliss for blackcurrant.

Using clear packing tape, I covered all the stamped images before die cutting them out using the Brewed Dies. This made the glasses shiny……. so cute.

Using the Deckled Rectangle Dies, I die cut rectangles from the smallest Basic White panel and the Basic Gray panel. I added ‘ground’ using a Smoky Slate Blends Pen. The ‘bubble’ image was stamped along the top in Basic Gray ink. The two rectangles were then glued together.

The colourful glasses were added with liquid glue with the exception of the lemonade which was added on Dimensionals. The whole panel was added to the card front on Dimensionals.

The sentiment from the Sweet Songbirds stamp set was stamped in Blackberry Bliss onto scrap Basic White card before being trimmed down and tucked under the raised panel. A trio of Basic Rhinestones and a Baker’s Twine bow completed the card.

I hope you like it.

I stamped the cluster of flowers in Memento Basic Black ink onto the smaller piece of Basic White card, towards the top. I stamped the same image onto a Post It Note and fussy cut around the bottom of the image. I used this to mask off the bottom of the stamped image.

The jar was stamped below the flowers, overlapping the Post It Note mask. I mask was removed. I then stamped the stems of the flowers inside the jar. I used the back of the small jar to add the water to the jar using 2nd generation Balmy Blue ink.
