How to make a teapot card? 

You will need: 

• Scissors, glue and a pencil
• Teapot card template
• A4 white cardstock printing paper (minimum 180 gsm or 66 lb)
• A4 paper for card base, e.g. kraft cardstock
• Coloured or patterned paper
• Extras: images, stickers, stamps, ... to decorate your teapot

Step 1

The template consists of 2 pages. Print both pages on heavy weight paper, preferably between 180 and 250 gsm. Cut out the shapes. These will be used as template to trace with a pencil. 

Step 2

Trace the teapot (page 1) onto folded cardstock paper with the flat top of the teapot against the fold. Cut out the teapot, but do not cut along the fold!

I used kraft paper as card base. 

Step 3

Trace the teapot details (page 2) onto coloured or patterned paper. Cut out the details and adhere them to your card. 

I distressed all paper edges with Distress Ink Tea Dye before adhering the patterned paper to the card base. 

Step 4

Decorate your teapot with images, stickers, stamps, ... Use your imagination!

I used a 3D image from a decoupage sheet (brand: Yvonne Creations). The image consists of multiple layers that are mounted onto each other with foam pads. It creates a 3D effect.

You can write your message on the inside of the card and/or add some tea bags for the recipient.

Do you sometimes make cards that aren't square or rectangle shaped?
