Hey everyone, it's time for a new bi-weekly challenge from Lavinia World Challenges. The theme is always anything goes using a stamped image (no digis please) and the winner will receive a $15 gift certificate to Lavinia World.
For this challenge #19, I created a fun fold tee-pee card using the following Lavinia stamps and papers:
 |
This is actually a pretty easy fold to make. It's two squares scored diagonally from point to point and then layered together. You only want to add adhesive on the front flap so that it will fold flat for mailing. The only other thing to be aware of is when you add your focal point, in this case the Dragonfly Keepers that was stamped onto the Winter Chill paper, you watch the alignment of the stamp.
The paper needs to be at an angle when stamped instead of having the bottom straight. If you stamp it with the bottom perfectly horizontal then your image will be crooked when you begin to adhere it to your tee-pee fold (ask me how I know 😄). SO make sure your paper is at the same angle as the fold before stamping. The second time around, I went ahead and adhered my paper before stamping.
On each side of the tee-pee card, I stamped the dragonfly from the Fairy Bugs stamp set and one of the words from the Inspire Me stamp set. The dragonflies were stamped with VersaFine Clair Nocturne ink and the words with VersaFine Clair Paradise ink. These were also heat embossed with Clear embossing powder.
Here is a close op of the Dragonfly Keeper and a Dragonfly. Both were stamped with Nocturne ink and heat set with Clear embossing powder. I added Dress My Craft Sparkling Dust to her wings. ( This can also be found at Lavinia World.)
And finally, a photo of the card folded flat for mailing:

Anne, what a great fold! I need to try that! Yes, I can see that stamping on the right angle could present a bit of a
challenge. Great card!
I have never made a teepee card, Anne, and yours is beautiful with the vibrant greens and blues! Thanks for the tip about arranging the paper prior to stamping. Love the glittery wings (of course) and the orbs of light surrounding your fairy. So bee-u-tee-ful! hugs, de
That's a new fold for me too! I like it! Love your pretty fairy with the lantern and the sparkle on the wings is so fun!
You always have the best folds! This is a fun card!
Love your teepee card, Anne! I've made a few, but now you've inspired me to create another one. :)
What an awesome card fold! I love it! I never saw a card like that before! The paper and stamps you used are perfect for this card!
Donna you never fail to amaze me! I love your little stories that go along with your awesome creations! The green and purple together is gorgeous! Love all your details!
what a lovely way to showcase these stamps.
This is such a fun fold, Anne. I made a couple of these a while back and also learnt the hard way on the positioning of the stamps :-)
Love the stamps you used and the beautiful papers.
Enjoy your day.
