Let’s Make This
Whether you make one as a card or a dozen for a banner, these adorable Teapot cards will brighten the day. We were totally inspired by the adorable art of Mary Englebreit so think of this a tribute to her creative talents.
Begin by gathering your supplies. You will need:
- TOOLS:
Mom Teapot by Lori Whitlock
Box Pops Oval Base
Slimline Edges and Borders
Folded Holly
i-Motion Die cutting machine {recommended} - MATERIALS:
Card stock: various
Prismacolor Pencils {optional}
Distress Ink: Black Soot {optional}
Adhesives: Liquid
Step 1: PREP
- Fold a 6″ x 10″ piece of cardstock in half so the finished size is 6″ wide by 5″ tall when folded
- Place the Mom Teapot die on the folded cardstock so that the top blade is above the fold so it will not cut along the top and die cut
- Die cut additional embellishment shapes as desired
Step 2: FLOWERS AND LEAVES
- Adhere the flower centers to the flower petals and lightly add shading using the Prismacolor Pencils if desired
- Fold leaves lengthwise. Color along the center of the leaf
- Die cut leaf cluster included with the Mom Teapot die. Cut off 3 leaves to create the stem for the cherries
Step 3: SCALLOPED EDGE LID
- Die cut the teapot lid
- Die cut another teapot lid out of a contrasting color
- Position the lid die slightly away from the edge of the contrasting piece and die cut again to create the scallop edge
Step 4: SCALLOPED TEAPOT
- Die cut a teapot from a single layer of colored cardstock in a contrasting color
- Place the Slimline Edges and Borders die across the front of the teapot shape and die cut
- Layer the scalloped edge on top of the folded teapot card
Step 5: POLKA DOTS {optional}
- First mark where you want to place dots using a pencil
- Use a pencil with a new eraser as your dot “stamper” with black ink
- Go back and fill in the dots with a black marker if necessary
Step 6: ASSEMBLE
- Embellish the teapots as desired
- Adhere the lid
ENJOY!
