Teapot Card

I've had my Pagoda cartridge for nearly a year now, and although I did see this teapot and cup cut in the manual, I never thought I'd ever use it. That is, not until I got a look at the gorgeous teapot card set Patti of Creations By Patti received for her birthday. Created by her friend Phyllis, these shaped teapot note cards and holder in beautiful colors were such an inspiration!

I decided this teapot would make a perfect card for my mil's birthday. My version of the teapot card isn't a shaped card like Phyllis' but I did layer it several times to give it some dimension. After all the layers of cardstock and foam tape used, it became too heavy to make into a shaped card so I attached it to a fan cut (also from the Pagoda cartridge) and then to the base, which I embossed with one of the folders from the Cuttlebug Asian bundle.


The flower branch cut is also from Pagoda, I used Design Studio to do the cut out on the fan, then used the cut out piece left from it to embellish the pot and cup. The shadow layer was created in Design Studio by simply welding the shadows of the fan, cup and teapot and cutting in Currency Gold cardstock. Although it's not readily visible on my photos, I sprayed Tsukineko Gold spritz onto the fan and branch cut pieces and totally loved the effect!
