This card features very minimal masking. I masked the letter "k" and the foot on one elephant but otherwise, no masking! I stenciled the card first, stamped over the background, then colored and embellished!
The 5 1/2" x 12 card base was stenciled with Cracked Pistachio Distress Ink and the MFT Cloud Stencil. This no-masking technique works best with lighter colors of ink. If you want to go with darker colors, stamp and mask first, then stencil. Because Distress Inks and Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers are water based so they work together seamlessly!
The images were colored in with Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers.
The design was finished with a scattering of Pretty Pink Posh Iridescent Star Confetti.

I always start by trimming Bristol Smooth Cardstock to 5 1/2" x 12" and lightly drawing a pencil line at 4" and 8". Then I start stamping the images I'm using to create the scene. Make sure to stamp the images in the foreground first, mask them, and then stamp the next layer, mask them, and so on. I followed this all the way across the panel until I had filled the entire design with sweet treats.
I drew in a line with a black pen to "ground" the images and create a table or counter for the sweets to be sitting on.
Sentiments from Piece of Cake and Mae the Mouse were stamped above and below the treats as shown. I erased the pencil lines before coloring.
The images were colored in with Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers. I love using water based markers as they don't bleed through the cardstock to the backside of the tri-fold card.
The gift tag was customized with a sentiment from the Piece of Cake Stamp Set. I stamped and embossed the greeting with white embossing powder. The hershey kisses tags were stamped with greetings using red ink.
Prisma Glitter was added to the two "frosted" cupcakes to look like decorative sugar and Glossy Accents was added to the cherries.
Once dry, the card was scored at 4" and 8" to finish the design.

Hello friends! I'm so excited to share this one layer tri-fold card birthday card with you today! Tri fold cards are a great way to extend your cards for a fun surprise for the recipient. I love the look of tri-fold cards, especially one layer cards. They are easy to fold, easy to mail, and there is no white outline from die cutting the images! I'll be sharing tips and tricks on masking, stenciling, what kinds of coloring mediums to use, and how and when to fold your tri-fold card in my video today. Let's get started...
I trimmed a piece of Bristol Smooth Cardstock to 5 1/2" x 12" and gently drew in pencil lines at the 4" and 8" marks to note where the card will be scored (when all the inking and coloring is done! Save this step for last!).
Next I gently traced the MFT Drifts and Hills Stencil so I knew about where I would be inking the landscape. I stamped and masked the images from the Mama Elephant Tea With Friends and Picnic With Friends stamp sets using Versafine Onyx Black Ink. The masks will protect the images from the background stenciling.
The masks were removed and sentiments from the Tea With Friends and Picnic With Friends stamp sets were stamped on the first and last panels of the card design as shown.
The images were colored in with Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers and details were added with white and black jelly roll pens.
The card was scored at 4" and 8" with a Scor Pal and folded and creased with a Teflon Bone Folder to finish the one layer design.

To create the base of my tri-fold card, I trimmed the 9x12 Bristol Smooth Cardstock to 5 1/2" x 12 and lightly penciled in lines at 4" and 8". I stamped the elephant/balloon images from the Fly With Me Stamp Set throughout the three "panels" with Versafine Onyx Black Ink. The pencil lines provide a guideline to know exactly where to stamp the focal point images.
Next, without any masking, I stenciled and inked the background with the Mini Cloud Edges Stencil using Blueprint Sketch and Shaded Lilac Distress Inks. I chose not to mask because both Distress Inks and Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers are water based meaning the zig markers will cover up the background inking.
In addition to the Fly With Me images I stamped balloons from the Celebration Balloons Stamp Set to fill in the background. The images were colored in with Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers.
I adhered Stick It Adhesive to both sides of a piece of Fun Foam and then adhered smooth white cardstock to one side. I die cut the Hello Friend Script die greeting from the dimensional material, inked it with Blueprint Sketch and Shaded Lilac Distress Inks and adhered the greeting to the top of the extended scene card.
I also stamped a sentiment from the Hello Friend Wishes at the bottom of the design.
I finished the card with a scattering of stamped stars using the images from the Confetti Stamp Set.
