Hi Ai Fans!
How fun are the Mini Try-Fold stamp sets!!! I got to play with the Everything Wonderful set (#4851)! I just love this little kitty who is helping to celebrate a special Birthday.
The nice thing with the Mini Try-fold sets are that you get everything you need in the package to create, stamp and cut your fun folded card. There are even instructions included so there is no excuse not to try them out LOL!
I like to use the Ai Tryfold card bases as they are already scored and folded in the size you need them to be! Makes it just that 1 step easier.
You can either stamp right onto your card base or as I am stamp onto some stamped marker friendly paper. I used my MISTI to help get a perfectly stamped image. I just used my dies to see where I had to place my image so I have room to cut them out.
Once I had the images stamped and cut out, I coloured them with my Copic Sketch Markers.
Using the 2 larger images and the included metal dies cut out the little "windows" in the middle of your images.
Now you are ready to assemble your card! I used Designer paper that I cut at 3 1/2" x 5 1/8". This leaves a small white border around the edges. You don't want too many layers of paper on the card base as it will be hard to cut out the "window".
My first step was to cut out the window of the largest image with my die cutting machine. Looking through the front window, I lined up the middle image and adhered that with some glue. Once that was dry I cut out the middle image window. Now you can add your cupcake to the inside and final layer.
All you need to do now is add your finishing details. I added sentiments from the set, some ribbon, bow and enamel dots to complete my card! It's really easy to use the Mini Tryfold sets and they make such cute and fun cards!
