Here's a quick tutorial from the lovely Sharon today, take a look for instructions and tips for your own Mini TryFold cards!

Hello AI Fans!!

I'm super excited today to show you my card featuring the brand new #5028 Potting Shed MTF! I actually made an Inside Shadow Box card with it.  I followed a video by Jennifer McGuire to make it, so just click HERE if you want to make one too. I think they are perfect for the Mini TryFolds! 

To start, I cut and scored my papers to Jennifer's specifications. 

I placed the front of the folded card into my stamp platform so I could center the image.

And die cut the doors out.

I then centered the inside portion of the card behind the front and outlined the doors so I knew where to stamp the middle portion of the set, then stamped the center portion and die cut it. It's so easy to do this since the stamps are clear!

I then stamped the inside piece on a separate piece and centered it behind the center piece and adhered it.  To color this, I used chalk pencils.  I loved the sentiment of Always Among the Blooms, so I actually cut a bunch of the flower pots and colored them up, then popped them up from the card. I really love how they turned out and the die for the flower pot comes with the set!! So this is the finished card with a little video at the end that shows how the Inside Shadow Box card works! I created frames to go around the images by cutting a piece of pattern paper, then cutting out the center using the Rectangle A2 Double Stitched Dies. 

Please excuse the noisy background. LOL! I wasn't paying too much attention to that. I was concentrating too hard on making sure we captured the card correctly. You can hear my Granddaughter in the background yelling for her cat Noodle. LOL! 

So that's it for me today! Hope you have enjoyed and I can't wait to see what you create with your new Circlets and Mini Tryfolds! Thanks so much for stopping by and until next time, Stay crafty!

Thanks, Sharon! Love your shadowbox card! Such an awesome idea for any of our Mini Tryfolds or Circlet MTFs!
