Hello, Ai Fans!

Hello AI Fans!
I'm excited to show you the brand new and oh so adorable Mini Tryfolds! My card today features the fabulous 4970 Produce Stand! If you peek under the awning, you'll see the cutest raccoon eating a yummy piece of watermelon! I started out by cutting a piece of cardstock 5" x 10" and scoring in half at 5". Along with that, I cut another piece of cardstock at 4 7/8" x 5 1/8" inch. Score at 1/4" on the longer side so it's 4 7/8" square. That is for the middle portion of my card.
I stamped all three pieces and colored them with copics. Colors I used will be listed below. As you can see, I still wasn't quite sure how I was going to attach it to the card because I added grass around the image. :)
After coloring, I fussy cut the front piece out. I then die cut three pieces to represent the grass for each page of the card, and attached it to the front page. I then placed the image where I wanted it, and lightly traced inside the cut awning so I could die cut the card front. After removing the image, I placed the die around the trace line and die cut. I then glued the image to the card front, making sure the awnings lined up.
A look at the inside of the front of the card.
Apply a strong adhesive to the 1/4" edge of the middle piece and adhere it to the card.
I cut the center image out with a stitched die and cut a mat for it also. I then placed the die inside the fruit and cut out the center. After die cutting that, place the image on the mat and again, lightly trace the inside with a pencil and die cut the mat. Adhere the image to the mat, making sure the die cuts matched up.
Using a cloud die set, I cut three clouds for each page in the card, and doodled around the edges. I stamped the sentiment from the set onto the large cloud for the last page of the card. I applied mounting tape to the back of the clouds so they would be popped up from the card.
I guess I didn't have quite enough doodling, so I ended up going around the outside of the card as well. And here's the finished product. Hope you've enjoyed and can't wait to see how you create your MiniTryfold Card!
Look at the fun dimension!!
