Happy Wednesday everyone!
I found a fun challenge while blog visiting..."Pop Up a Tent" card! I can't believe I've never made a tent card before, so I thought I would give it a go!
Even included one of my "clean cut" tutorials! {{grin}}
Stamps: SU! (warmest regards)
Paper: SU! cs
Ink: memento pad
Other: vintage seam binding, satin rosette,
Cricut (Storybook, page 60, accent/frame)
Maria's 'Clean Cut' tutorial...how to make a tent card!
- Simply make a card as you normally would, 4.25" x 5.50", vertical standing.
- Cut a piece of (matching) cardstock 3" x 4.25".
- Score at .75", 1.50", 2.25" (3/4", 1 1/2", 2 1/4")
- Fold accordion style...like the letter 'W'.
- Attach folded cs to front & back flaps of card!
You get the idea! Easy peasy, right?
This is a great style for displaying cards...which so many of us do with the lovely cards we receive! The tent card challenge I found is from Erika @ Crafty Sprouts and she has a real video tutorial if you need detailed instructions!
Confession tip - I didn't have my Cricut blade positioned correctly for the scrap of black cardstork I was using and 'booger-ed' up my paper in the lower right-hand corner. See it? Nope! After I tied my bow I put a ultra small dab of glue on the goof & allowed my ribbon to naturally drape over the glue, hiding the goof permanently!
Hope you enjoyed my card today, thanks so much for stopping by!
Blessings!

Beautiful tent card Maria! Love the black and white! The Storybook cut is so pretty! This card style is on my list to try next. I just finished a TriFold and Box Card--would love for you to check those on my blog!
Good luck with the challenges!

So, so elegant Maria! Love the "tent" design! I do something similar with treat packages to give them a little space to fit in a cello bag filled with goodies.......but never, never thought to do this with a card. LOVE it!
Hi Maria, What a gorgeous tent card. You make it look so easy...guess I'll have to try it. Love the black/white combo and the front of your card. I can't decide whether I need a cricut???
cool new technique. Don't think I have ever seen one like this and what a great elegant card this is.
Hope all is well. sending you hugs
