PROJECT WEDNESDAY - FAIRY TEPEE CARD

 Happy Wednesday morning everyone.

How are we all today?  All good I hope?

What a fantastic couple of days on Create and Craft.  I hope you all managed to grab whatever you wanted, whether that be the New and Exclusive or a fabulous bargain from Craft Extra.  What a made 4 hours with Lisa and Leonie eh?  They are just so funny together.  Craft Extra is such a brilliant idea in my opinion.

So, it being Wednesday time for another Project from our lovely DT.

This week's project is brought to you by the lovely Mary Kelly and it is this gorgeous Fairy Tepee Card.  I have only ever made one of these shaped cards before - they aren't as scary as they look honestly. 

Let Mary show you.

What you will need:
LHC Star Night slim line Embossing Folder
LHC Merry Christmas Fairy Stamp/Die
LHC Layering Snowflake dies
LHC Festive bold phrases
Card of choice A4 – I have used white, red and white pearlescent
Glue
Colouring pencils/markers/paints
Foam pads
Die cutting machine
Scoreboard
Scissors
Scoring tool
Velcro dot or magnetics for closure
Oval nesting dies or shape of your choice
Guillotine/Trimmer
Ultimate
Black ink for stamping

Step 1:

Cut three 5 inches squares pieces of card. Score each one point to point – it can be helpful to line it up on a scoreboard.

Step 2:

Lay two of the squares side by side as shown- not the position of the scored line. Now lay the three square over the centre as shown. At glue to the reverse and secure – it can be helpful to mark the area for gluing with a pencil. Your card should now fold like the third image.

Step 3:

To mat and layer I used two layers - a red and then the white embossed layer. Cut   two red squares 4 5/8 inches. Cut these in half from point to point to give 4 triangles. For the smaller triangles cut a square of red card 1 6/8 inches, cut this in half to form to small triangles.  Add this to one side of your card.

For the next mat layer I used pearlescent white card. Cut two squares 4 3/8 inches and cut point to point to make 4 triangles. Cut a small square 1 4/8 inches and cut from point to point. Emboss all of these with the star embossing folder. Glue to the red sections of your card.

Step 4:

Once all the layers are dry. Stand your tepee by wrapping the 1^st and 4^th triangles over reach other. Secure with the Velcro dot/magnetic fastening.

Step 5:

To decorate stamp, colour and cut out your fairy of choice. I mounted mine onto a layered oval – the oval dies were from my stash. Using foam pads attach the fairy. I also cut some layering snowflakes in the pearlescent card and layered these before adding to one side of the card, finishing with a gem.  I added the tree and sentiment to one of the other sides of the tepee.

And there you have it!

Remember to share your makes in the Crafting with Lisa Horton Group if you decide to have a go at this card.  Obviously you can use whatever decoration you want to, it doesn't have to be a Fairy. Lol

Thank you Mary
