Up next is another card we made at Stamp and Chat Class last weekend. I'm calling this the Bookmark Card. I'm so in love with the Tea Boutique Suite I had to find a way to use it again in class. It was easy when you start with the Tea Boutique Cards and Envelopes.
To create the pocket you will cut diagonally once on one full 6"x6" sheet of the 2022-24 In Color Designer Series Paper. Then you will cut one of the two triangles you created in half again. Amazingly the two smaller triangles fit perfectly on the front of the card base when they are overlapped as shown. With each triangle you will only adhere the side and bottom edges with adhesive to create the pocket effect.
Die cut both your teacups and glue together.
Stamp the stems in Parakeet Party ink and the flowers in Tahitian Tide ink on a scrap of Basic White. Fussy cut around the edges leaving 1/2" at the base to adhere to the back of the assembled tea cut.
When you adhere the finished tea cup to the card front be sure to only put dimensionals on the tea cup portion. The flowers are "loose" so the bookmark can slide in the pocket behind the flowers.
Die cut the bookmark with the largest of the Tailor Made Tags die on a piece of Basic White as shown. Stamp a second set of flowers and stems at the bottom end of the bookmark. Stamp whatever greeting you choose at the top of the bookmark.
Take a 10" piece of the Parakeet Party Metallic Woven Ribbon and tie at knot at the top of the bookmark, then tie a bow. It will look nice and lay flat if you do it this way.
Finish your masterpiece with three Pearl Jewels, two on the tea cup flowers and one in the open handle space.
