Tea Caddy Greeting card with Lea-Anne
Hello all Lea-Anne here today and welcome back to my post for the Couture Creations.
I made this special greeting Card using the beautiful paper from the Butterfly Garden Collection, the Butterfly Ephemera collection and mini dies and the Couture Creations mini guillotine and scoring board.
To make up this Tea Caddy Greeting Card, please can you watch my video here:
To complete this project, you will need:
29cm x 15cm brown card;
30cm x 30cm page of pink card for mounting;
30cm x 30cm Butterfly Garden C0726530 pattern paper;
Other products:
10cmx6cm gold paper;
a die cut of a tea pot and tea cup (you can also use a pretty image if you don’t have this die);
3 x handmade flowers; 30cm gold organza ribbon;
sentiment word ; 4 x mini brads; a used tea bag and a collection of tea and coffee,
biscuit all individually wrapped.
To start off, turn on your Go Cut and Press foiling machine to warm up. While the machine warms up, using Couture Creation Go Cut and Emboss machine, die cut the Butterfly corner mini twice on the white card.
Repeat again using the pink card to make two pink die cuts. Trim a piece of gold foil to the size of your 4 corner cut outs.
Once the foiling machine is warm place the foil face down on the machine, then add the first corner die cut corner, remember to place a piece of scrap paper to cover the foil and die cut corner, close and run through the Go Press and Foil machine. Repeat the process for the remaining three corners.
If you have the Teariffic Word Die, cut out the wording first on white card and then using the pink card. Using the white card, trim a piece of gold foil, place face down on the emboss and foil machine, then add the die cut corner, a piece of scrap paper and run through your go press and foil machine to foil the wording. Stick the gold foiled wording over the pink card just overlapping the pink die cut word. Set aside.
If you have the Tea Pot and Tea cup die cut, using the pink card, die cut the shape.
Using the used tea bag, make a tiny slit at the back of the tea bag and tap out the used tea leaves.
Using the Couture Creating score board and the brown card, on the long side, score at 12cm and 18cm.
To make-up the front of the tea caddy, turn the brown card around, trim the pink card to 14.5cmx11.5cm for both the front and the back of the card and stick down front and back. Trim a 3rdpiece of pink card to 14.5cmx5.5cm piece and stick down on the underneath of card. Trim the 03A side of Butterfly Garden paper to 14cmx11cm for both the front and the back of the card and stick down front and back. Trim a 3rdpiece 03A card to 14cmx5cm piece and stick down on the underneath of card.
Depending on the size of your tea pot die cut (or image) stick on the left hand side of the card, stick the teabag at an angle 3cm from the top of the pattern paper. Mount the tea pot onto the piece of the gold card, trim gold paper to fit the teapot and stick down overlapping the tea bag. Repeat for the mini teacup and stick down slightly overlapping the bottom of the tea pot. Add the flower at the bottom of the tea cup and tea pot. Stamp your sentiment and add to the card overlapping the teacup and the teabag tag.
To make-up the inside of the card trim 2 x 14.5cmx2.5cm strips of pink card and 2 x 14cmx2cm strips of 03A pattern card, stick together. Trim the 03B Butterfly Garden card to 14.5cmx11.5cm for both the front and the back of the card. Using the brad, one set of the plain and foiled butterfly corner die cuts, 5cm from the top of the card attach the mini strip of the first inside card piece. Use a brad on each side of the strip to secure. Trim the organza ribbon in half. Using the one half of the pattern card, turn the card over and on the top edge, stick down the ribbon behind the card. Repeat for both sides and set aside.
Note! If the pattern paper has words or a specific pattern, take care to stick the paper the right way around. The one card on the one flap will therefore be upside down as the caddy folds up. J
To make-up the biscuit or rusk holder, trim a piece of 03B pattern paper to 17.5cmx10cm. Using your Couture Creations Scoring board, score the paper on the long side at 2.5cm and 15cm. Turn paper around and score at 2.5cm and 7.5cm. On the long side, trim the card at 2.5cm and 7.5cm marks upto the score line on both sides. Fold the corners in and stick down to create the box.
Trim a 3rdpiece of pink card to 14.5cmx5.5cm piece and stick down onto the inside bottom of the card. Using your mini box created above stick down onto the bottom inside of the card, add the flowers, overlapping into gold foiled butterfly corner die cuts. On both sides, stick the inside pages down to the brown card making sure the one side is facing the right direction if the pattern paper has wording.
To finish the Tea Caddy card, add diamante or mini pearls and include the tea goodies inside the card.
Congratulations, herewith your finished your Tea Caddy Greeting Card.
