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!
