This post is a tad full of piccies because I wanted you to see it from all sides. I first saw a TeePee card on my friend Suzie's blog and squirrelled the idea away at the back of my mind. It is really 1.5 square cards glued together in a particular way. Mine is 6" square and I think the following pics will be self-explanatory. Oh and because there are soooo many pics, I have postponed the pics of me 'n' the hubster in Cornwall. You will have to wait patiently Jenny and Sue J.
The other two sides -
At a slightly different angle -
The next two pics show the card in it's flat state! I used a small Velcro fastener to close the card, there are many different ways of making a fastener but there is so much heavy paper on this one, I wanted to make sure it stayed put!
You can't see the amount of glitter on the snowy plantpots or on the snowflakes but, believe me, I went a little bit berserk with my Star Dust.
This is the inside of the card
