Hi there friends! TGIF!!! I'm so glad you've stopped by! I have a fantastic card to share with you today.
I decided to use the Cup Of Tea Bundle with my hostess club for this month, and because I've been on a huge LEMON kick, the coordinating DSP fit my theme perfectly!
I started with a standard 8 1/2" x 5 1/2" (scored at 4 1/4") Crushed Curry Card Base.
Then, Stamped "Let's Get Together Soon" in Memento Ink on the upper left hand section of a 4" x 5 1/4" piece of Basic White Cardstock. To that layer, I attached the 4" x 2" piece of lemony DSP and the 4" x 5/8" Garden Green strip. This makes such a bright and cheerful card front already!
The teacup is a Poppy Parade Cardstock background piece and a Sweet Sorbet Cardstock foreground piece. I used Daffodil Delight and Crushed Curry Cardstocks for the lemon wedge, and Basic White cardstock for the stamped Greenery (Garden Green Ink) and the tea tag (Memento Ink, Daffodil Delight Ink).
I attached the tag to the cup with a little piece (maybe 2") of Linen Thread to make it look like a real tea bag. So cute! For the inside and the envelope, I stamped a few little lemon wedges to tie them in to the card front. Absolutely adorable!
I really hope you like my card! I just love it! Bright, Cheerful, and Fun!

Good morning my crafty friends! I hope you're doing well this fabulous Thursday morning! Today, the Crafty Collaborations Crew are doing a Blog Hop featuring ALL NEW products from the BRAND NEW 2022-2023 Annual Catalog!!! This is one of the most exciting times of year for a Stampin' Up Demonstrator! We get to see and play with all sorts of amazing new things!!! YAYA!!!
I've been enjoying the products from the Tea Boutique Collection (pages 12-13). I love that the suite utilizes all five of the 2022-2024 In-Colors! They're bold and bright and BEAUTIFUL!
For my card, I decided to create my background by tearing strips of the Tea Boutique Designer Series Paper. I started out with a 5 1/4" x 3" piece of the paper, and then tore that into little strips. Then, I layered them onto a 5 1/4" x 4" piece of Basic White Cardstock.
I knew I'd want to spotlight the fun teacups in the Cup of Tea stamp set, so I thought the best way to do that would be to add some Layering Circles for a background. It comes in handy knowing this ahead of assembly, because I was able to die cut the 2nd Largest Scalloped Circle from the 5 3/8" x 4 1/8" piece of Starry Sky Cardstock I intended to use for my base layer of my card front. I waste less paper this way!
As you can see, I've attached the Starry Sky Cardstock layer to the card base first. Then I've attached the Basic White layer with the strips of DSP attached. This forms my card front beautifully, and you'd never know that I had cut a circle out of the background layer! :-D
Next, I stamped a tea cup in Memento Ink and the greenery in Garden Green Ink onto Basic White Cardstock scraps. I colored the cup with Sweet Sorbet Blends and the greenery with Parakeet Party.
Once I die cut each of the two pieces out, I attached them together with a little line of Multipurpose Liquid Glue along the edge. Then, I attached the whole piece to a Basic White Circle (cut with the 2nd largest Layering Circles Die) with Stampin' Dimensionals.
I attached the whole Scalloped Circle piece to the card front with Stampin' Dimensionals as well. Then, tied a length of Parakeet Party Baker's Twine into a bow and attached it beside the circle with a Glue Dot.
The card was finished off with a few of the tiny Parakeet Party 2022-2024 In-Color Matte Decorative Dots. Those things are sooooooo pretty!! You get a wide variety of sizes and each color gives you an ombre of shades! Gorgeous!
You may notice that I have no sentiment on this card. I don't have one inside either. That's completely out of character for me, honestly. However, I normally know where a card is going before I've shared it. This time, I don't have a specific purpose for this card, so I wanted to leave my options open. I will, no doubt, use one of the fabulous sentiments from the Cup of Tea stamp set though. There are several to choose from and they're all beautiful! It's perfectly ok to leave your cards without a designation right off. :-)
I hope you enjoyed my sweet Tea Boutique tribute! Be sure to hop around to all of the other blogs to check out all the inspiration and NEW PRODUCTS they have in store for you!! :-) ENJOY!!
