Today I’m sharing yet another project from my A Nice Cuppa Bundle Class. This card has a little surprise inside. I CASEd this card from Maria Fennelly of Maria’s Creative Place.
The card base is Crushed Curry card stock, with a Bermuda Bay layer, and a piece of Have a Cuppa Designers Series Paper on top of that.
The top panel is Whisper White card stock with the image stamped in Wisteria Wonder, then matted on Melon Mambo card stock.
Here’s the surprise: a pop up tea cup on a saucer and doily.
Fold a Tea Lace Paper Doily in half and adhere it to the inside of the card base, lining up the doily’s fold with the score line of the card.
Using the Cups & Kettle Framelits, cut two cups (one from Bermuda Bay card stock and one from the DSP) and one heart from Whisper White card stock. Put adhesive along the top edge of one of the cups. Stick the bottom tip of the heart onto it, then stick on the other cup, lining the two cups up with each other. You now have two cups stuck together along the top with the heart shaped steam coming out, but not stuck together at the bottom.
For the saucer, cut a piece of Bermuda Bay card stock with the 2-3/8″Scalloped Circle Punch. Fold it in half. Using Paper Snips, cut two slits into the piece, perpendicular to the fold. Then cut a slit along the fold between the two cuts. Fold up the two little flaps.
Adhere one flap to the inside of each of the cups. This will make the cup stand up. Now fold the saucer in half and adhere it onto the doily. The whole thing will now fold flat inside the card, and the cup will stand up when the card is open.
The rest of the sentiment is stamped directly onto the card base interior in Melon Mambo ink.
Here’s what I used:
Thanks for stopping by today, and Sweet Stamping!
