Tea Time Telescopic Card

My mom and I stamp and craft a lot together whether we are far apart or in the same town. We like to give each other challenges with a particular type of card or 3D project to try. This time it was my mom's turn to choose the project. She chose telescopic cards.


Telescopic cards are cards that have many pieces linked together that fold up into one shape, usually concentric circles or concentric ovals. The links can be a piece of string, a brad, a fancy paperclip, or other embellishment that can keep the parts attached to each other and can swivel to unfold.


For my project I chose to use the Layering Circle Framelits (Item #141705) and the Time for Tea Product Suite. Starting with the topmost circle and going downward, each circle is progressively larger than the last, so that when the card is closed, all of the circles layer on top of each other like a child's stacking ring toy.

I used the 3rd largest scalloped circle framelit, the 3rd largest circle framelit, and the smaller doily framelit for the topmost circle.

I used the 2nd largest circle framelit and the larger doily framelit for the middle circle.

I used the largest scalloped circle framelit and the largest circle framelit for the bottom circle.

To connect each of the circles together, I used the Metallic Brads (Item #146929) and a 1/8" hole punch (Item #134365). I lined up the bottom most edge of the topmost circle with the topmost edge of the middle circle, punched a hole, and secured the two circles with a brad. I lined up the bottom most edge of the middle circle with the topmost edge of the bottom circle, punched a hole, and secured the two circles with a brad.


Once everything was connected, I attached a loop of Tea Room Ribbon (Item #146893) to the back of and a bow to the front of the topmost circle.

This circle would also be adorable as a snowman or a Santa! How cute would it be to send to a niece, nephew, or grandchild! I hope you give Telescopic Cards a try! You can find a supply list at the end of this post.

Thanks for stopping by!
