Cup of Spring Mini Slimline Trifold Card


Hello! Today I'm sharing a card for the Coffee Lover's Blog Hop, which I will link below. I made a Mini Slimline Trifold Card using goodies from Your Next Stamp, who is one of the amazing sponsors of this massive Blog Hop. I have a walkthrough of my card on YouTube:  





I chose the Cute Blooms for my card today - who wouldn't love a cup full of Spring blooms! After water colouring and die cutting with the coordinating die (see? It even cuts out the areas between the cup and the handles) I gave it a spritz with my shimmer spray. For even more sparkle I added some sequins.


You open the left flap and see the smaller right flap, which on this card just has a panel of patterned paper. Sometimes I add a sentiment or coordinating image to this panel.


Below is the card displayed fully open. The image from Cute Blooms was stamped in a light colour ink on the white panel, then I stamped Happy Spring over it with a dark ink. One single sequin adds the sparkle.


To create the card base for my Slimline Trifold, cut card stock 8-1/2 x 8-1/2". Score 3" from left edge and 2" from right and you can decide whether to use the 2" flap on the right or left side. I change it up often! NOTE:  There is a label on the right side of my blog called Trifolds if you want to see more of them in a variety of sizes. Decorate the panels as desired.

I hope you will check out the Coffee Lover's Blog Hop - there is always a ton of inspiration! Click HERE to be taken to the Coffee Lover's Blog Hop!
