Anyone for Tea?

Hi Everyone,

Recently I had another of my workshops, this one with one of my very good customers who happen to have a birthday on the same day of her workshop date.

She recently purchased the Tea Shoppe stamp set but was after varying ideas of how to use it and so enters our Tea cup Theme. One of her favourite colours is also purples (and Pinks) however I thought Daffodil Delight makes a lovely colour companion to the purple family!

I made a tea cup easel card inspired by a few girls I found on the net at one time here and here, I added an embellished cover for the sweets and made a teapot box (idea found here )for the assorted teabags. Finally designed a few cake toppers for the Mud cake for the birthday girl.

Naturally they made the easel card for the make n take. A little more involved than one would probably usually choose for a make n take but worth the effort on this special occasion. Here are the photos :-)

All in all it was a lovely and enjoyable event and some more pretty cards have been created as well.

Love this stamp set, hope you might too.

Have a great weekend

Anyone for a little Tea?

Hi Everyone,

This gorgeous stamp set Tea Shoppe (125547- (c) )from Stampin Up first made its appearance in our last Mini Autumn/Winter catalogue, I was smitten with it straight away, so pretty and gorgeous and I'm happy to say it is one that is continuing on, which is delightful :-)

So let me share my little play with these stamps, some of my card designs are CASES and some a little play of creative adventure of my own.

I embossed these flowers with clear embossing powder and it gave them a nice glaze feel, I also embossed the tea cup in white embossing powder.

This card is a CASE from Cindy

This card above is a CASE from Natalie O'Shea

This card too is a CASE from Lana Harvey

I wanted to try this CASE from Monica Gale, because I love the criss-cross scoring and I actually stamped my cup first with colour and restamped over it with the help of the Stamp-Me-Jig tool with versamark and then embossed the tea cup with clear embossing powder. It sort of reminds me of my present kitchen tiles :-) I changed a few bits from the original case.

Anyone who has been doing some research for ideas with this stamp set is sure to have come across this gorgeous one. I tried it because it took me out of my comfort zone with stamping layers, I would have never thought to stamp each stamp in such places before this. I enjoyed the concept.

So its a CASE from here

The entire collection of play with Tea Shoppe so far :-)

Well that was a bit of fun just for starters, I'm sure to give it a good going over further as yet.
