Cup of Tea Card

 Hello, Stampin' Friends!

Today's card is made using the beautiful Tea Boutique Suite of products. You can find them on page 13 of the Annual Catalog. To make this card, you need this suite because I used everything in the suite.

Aren't the colors so pretty? The really neat thing about them: this paper coordinates with all 5 of the new In-Colors! The base for this card is one of the card bases in the Tea Boutique Cards & Envelopes. I love lattice so that's probably why I chose this one. The center panel is Orchid Oasis cardstock with a piece of Tea Boutique 6" x 6" Designer Series Paper layered on it. That helps set it off a little. I cut the label for the sentiment with the Stitched Rectangle Dies. 

My favorite part of this card is that little tea cup. The Teacup Dies make it easy work! And using some of our Adhesive Sheet to the back of that detail layer makes it so easy to stick the two layers together without using glue (and the mess). The lemon is stamped in Daffodil Delight Ink and die cut. Tie a bow with the Baker's Twine and adhere with a glue dot. Embellish with In-Color Matte Dots in desired colors. Decorate the inside of the card as desired. The envelope is already decorated for you.

Cutting Instructions:

Card base is cut for you

Orchid Oasis is cut 2 5/8" x 5 1/2"

Tea Boutique DSP is cut 2 3/8" x 5 1/2"

You'll need Basic White cardstock pieces big enough for label and to stamp the lemon

You could adapt this card for birthday or thinking of you, just change your sentiment.

Sale-a-bration is under way for July and August. For each $50 you order, you get to choose free products. My ordering special for July: If you order more than $50, I will send you these cute embellishments: Adhesive Backed Sequins & Gems. My Online Store is open NOW! I am happy to place your order for you if you have difficulty with that. 

Thanks for stopping by!

Until next time,

World Watercolor Month

 Hello, Stampers!

Just dropping by today to say Happy 4th of July! It's the birthday of the United States of America. I am so glad I was born in the USA where we are free to worship and gather without fear of retribution. This country may have its flaws but it is home to so many people who chose to come and become a citizen. The land of the free because of the brave.

Enough of that, let's talk cardmaking and crafting. Did you know it is World Watercolor month? No? Me either but Stampin' Up! does and we are making it a big deal. We have what you need to color: Pencils, paper, stamps, and more. You’ll need the basics: Fluid 100 Watercolor Paper, Water Painters, and Watercolor Pencils. You can also use Classic Stampin’ Pads and Refills.

Check out this video Stampin' Up! has done for us.

Here is a list of supplies you might need:

Fluid 100 5 x 7 Watercolor Paper

Watercolor Pencils Assortment 1

Watercolor Pencils Assortment 2

Blender Pens

Water Painters

Remember practice makes perfect-that particularly applies to watercoloring. The nice thing about it, you can't mess it up. If you do, it's only paper, just start over.

Have fun! Show us your creations.

My Online Store is open 24/7 (all the time!)

Until next time,

Happy stampin'

Hues of Happiness Suite is Gorgeous!

 Happy Fourth of July Weekend! Hope you and yours enjoy time together as we celebrate this great county-The United States of America!

I have another pretty card for you today. It features the Hues of Happiness Suite on pages 108-109 of the Annual catalog.

The card base is Night of Navy cardstock cut 4 1/4" x 11 and scored at 5 1/2", making this a top fold card. The Parakeet Party layer is cut 3 3/4" x 5" and the Hues of Happiness DSP is 3 1/2" x 4 3/4".  The pretty ribbon is 1/8" Metallic Woven Ribbon in Parakeet Party. It is tied around the top layers.

I used the Happiness Abound stamps for the sentiment on the Daffodil Delight circle that was die cut with the Stylish Shapes Dies. 

Here's my You Tube video showing how to make this card.
