Hello! Welcome back to my blog. Today's card features the Kat Scrappiness Easter Quokkas stamp and die sets. I hope you like it.
One of the sources of my inspiration is the stamp set itself. Looking at the KS Easter Quokkas stamp set, I could not help but notice one of the sentiments with what better timing. It does not only pertain to Easter but it also pertains to the cost of eggs.
I looked at my stash and found this pretty Easter patterned paper which inspired me with the colors of the card.
I colored the quokka with Copic markers. I die cut the quokka using the coordinating die. I die cut two more pieces on white cardstock to add dimension to the colored quokka.
To make this into a trifold card, I cut a 8 1/2" x 11" carstock at 5 1/2" on the long side to come up with 2 note cards. I scored both pieces at 4 1/4" on the long side. On one of the notecards, I partially die cut the front with an oval die from the KS Never Ending Oval Craft dies. Partial die cutting is when you leave a part of the die hanging off the cutting plates sandwich. Any part of the die and paper that are not in between the cutting plates sandwich will not be cut. In the case of my card, I left a part of the oval die hanging on the folded side of the note card. Doing such created an oval cut on the front of the card. But the cut is not complete yet. I used a trimmer to cut off the negative cut created by the oval die on the the scored line. You can also use a craft knife for this purpose.
I die cut a smaller oval on a teal colored cardstock. I ran this die cut inside an embossing folder to add wave impressions just like one of the eggs on the patterned paper. To add some color variation to this teal die cut, I lightly rubbed a white dye ink over the raised edges.
For the sentiment, I die cut a speech bubble on a yellow cardstock. I stamped the sentiment on this die cut.
I adhered the teal die cut on the oval flap of the note card. I adhered the speech bubble on an extra speech bubble die cut. I adhered the speech bubble slightly beyond the margin of the oval flap. I sneaked another speech bubble die cut in between the red flap and teal oval die cut to which I adhered the yellow speech bubble die cut. This adds some stability to this hanging embellishment.
I adhered the quokka to this flap.
For the other notecard, I adhered the patterned paper cut at 4" x 5 1/4" to the front making sure the fold is on the right side of the patterned paper. I trimmed a sliver off the edge of the oval notecard. I applied glue to the inside of the patterned paper note card and adhered this to the back of the oval flap note card.
I die cut a white cardstock using a die from the KS Stiched Rectangle craft dies. I adhered this to the inside of the trifold notecard. This will be a place to stamp a sentiment and to write a message to the recipient.
Thank you for visiting my blog. I hope my card inspires you to create a trifold card. Have a blessed, brilliant and creative day!
