Tiny Townies Under an Umbrella | Stamping Bella

Hi! Today I'm back sharing an Angled Trifold Card featuring Tiny Townies Under an Umbrella, 

Supplies:

Tiny Townies Under an Umbrella rubber stamp

Cardstock

Designer paper (used Bella BLVD)

Scoring board and bone folder

Paper trimmer

Adhesives

Stitched Circle Dies

Grass Die

Clouds stencil (Lawn Fawn), raindrops stencil (Clearly Besotted Stamps), and ink

Embellishments of choice

How to:

Stamp Tiny Townies Under an Umbrella onto white card and colour using your preferred medium. Fussy cut around the outline. 

Cut a 4" stitched circle from card, and a 3.75" stitched circle from designer paper. Adhere them together. 

On a piece of 4" square card, create a grass and sky scene. Cut out using a 3.5" stitched circle die and adhere to the other stitched circles. 

Using foam tape/dots, adhere the image to the circles panel. Set aside to work on the card. 

Cut a piece of card measuring 11" x 5.5". Score on the long side at 3-3/8" and 7-5/8" 

Fold and crease the score lines. 

With the card opened out flat, measuring in and mark at 1" on the bottom of both outer panels. 

Measure down and mark at 1.5" from the top of both outer panels. 

Cut from the score lines diagonally to the 1.5" pencil mark, and then from the 1.5" mark diagonally down to the 1" mark on the bottom. Repeat on both ends of the card base. 

To create the card layers, put a piece of card underneath the side panels and use a pencil to draw the outline. Cut at 1/8" inside the pencil lines. Repeat for the other side. 

Use the card layer as a template for the paper layers, cutting 1/8" inside the pencil lines again. 

Adhere both the card and paper layers to the card front. 

To create a belly band, cut a piece of card approx 11" x 2". Centre across the card then wrap around the card, ensuring it's loose enough to move up and down. 

Remove from the card and crease the score lines, then  adhere the ends of the card strip. 

Cut two pieces of paper measuring 4.25" x 1-7/8" and adhere front and back of the belly band.

Remove the band from the card and adhere image panel to the front of the band only. 

On the inside, adhere a 4-1/8" x 5-3/8" piece of designer paper to the centre panel, then adhere a 3-7/8" x 5-3/8" piece of card on top of it. Stamp the sentiment from Tiny Townies Under an Umbrella into the centre and decorate as desired. 

Close up the card and slide the belly band back on. 

Decorate with some enamel dots.

Stamp the Unicorn from the Unicorn Sentiment Set on to white card

Colour using your preferred medium

Fussy cut around the image or use the coordinating Cut-it-Out Die

Cut 2 circles approx 2.75" in diameter. 

One one of the circles, create some clouds using a stencil and distress oxide ink. 

Ink the other circle with green oxide inks. 

Cut some grass uing a grass border die. Apply some green ink to the bottom of the clouds circle

Layer the grass onto the clouds to create a scenic background for the Unicorn. 

Adhere the Unicorn using foam tape/dots. Set aside to work on the card base. 

Cut a piece of card measuring 6" x 8". On the 8" side, score at 2" and 6"

Flip the card over and score at the 4" mark. 

With the card in portrait position, measure in 2" from each side on the 2" scoreline and mark with a pencil or embossing too. Repeat on the 6" scoreline. 

Score from the top left corner down to the 2" mark, and from the top of the 4" scoreline down to the same 2" mark. Repeat as shown below. 

Fold in half on the 4" scoreline and crease well. 

Fold back the 2" and 6" scorelines. 

Carefully fold back all the diagonal scorelines. 

Apply adhesive to one side of the centre section and fold the card in half again.

Cut six pieces of white card measuring 1 7/8" x 5 5/8" 

Position one of the card strips on the card front and use a pencil to mark the short side. 

Cut from the pencil mark to the outer corners.

Use this piece as a guide for cutting the other five strips. 

Adhere four of the strips onto the panels at the back of the card. 

Cut two pieces of paper measuring 1.75" x 5.5" for the two front card panels. Use the white card strips as a guide for cutting the angle of the paper pieces. 

Adhere the panels to the card front.
