by Vickie Maduzia

Add a three dimensional cup to your card front.

Supplies

  • Small cup

  • Cardstock quarter sheet for template

  • Vellum cardstock, quarter sheet

  • Water-based inkpads in fruity colors

  • Paper cutter with scoring blade

  • Sticky Strip™ or other double-sided, extra-tacky tape

  • Micro beads

  • Mini glue dots

  • Straw and umbrella, optional


Step-by-Step

  1. Step 1

    Make a re-usable template by tracing a small cup onto cardstock. Use a paper cutter for straight edges.

  2. Step 2

    Trace template onto vellum cardstock, and then cut shape.

  3. Step 3

    Sponge ink onto cup shape.

  4. Step 4

    Lay cup shape on paper cutter, and score 1/8" from the edge.

  5. Step 5

    Repeat on opposite side.

  6. Step 6

    Cut off the top pointy corners.

  7. Step 7

    Apply Sticky Strip™ to top edge of cup.

  8. Step 8

    Dredge in micro beads.

  9. Step 9

    Apply several mini glue dots along each folded edge of your cup, making sure they don't overlap the edge.

  10. Step 10

    Adhere left side of cup to the background you've created for your card. Bend the cup slightly before adhering the right side to the card.

  11. Step 11 (Optional)

    Try using glue dots to add a drink umbrella and straw to the cup. Cut the umbrella in half first.

  12. Step 12

    Finished card.

About mailing- what accomodations would you make to mail and how much would that cost?

I love the card, I'm thinking of making my daughter's wedding shower invite's. They are having a destination wedding so the design is perfect, I was wondering what accomodations I would have to make to mail and how much it would cost.

This idea is really neat for a bon voyage card I will be making. Thanx for the great idea. What did you use to create the "sand" look at the bottom of the page?

I love this idea. It would make a great "margaritaville" party theme. How did you get the look of sand on the bottom of your card?

How did you get the sand look for this card? Was the card stock designer series paper or did you paint the sun and water yourself??

Thanks
