3D THURSDAY & TIME FOR A CUTE TEA BAG HOLDER

A quick post today as there are a few things on my list to get done.

As I am featuring the Tea Boutique Suite this week I thought that a tea and biscuit gift pouch would be a great project to share.

After taking the measurements needed to make the pouch, I mapped out my layout and started cutting and scoring the sheet of Sweet Sorber A4 card stock.

I cut this DSP design into three panels – a large one for both the front and back, and then a smaller strip for the pouch topper. Before I glued the topper piece down, I attached a length of the Starry Sky Metallic Woven Ribbon to the flap and then secured it with the DSP.

The two sides were scored down the centre to allow the top of the pouch to come together more readily.

I stamped and die cut the three tea bag labels and placed them on the front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

It was quick and easy to just slide the tea bag and biscuit packs into the pouch and tie the bow.

Super cute and very easy to make.

Tomorrow, I hope to have a fun fold card to share.

Until the, happy stamping.

ANOTHER WONDERFUL CARD THIS WEDNESDAY

I hope this makes you laugh as much as it did me. I was sure that this week’s theme for the Freshly Brewed Project Blog Hop was paper piecing.

Fantastic, I thought. The bundle that I am featuring this week is perfect for this theme.

I feverishly die cut three tea cups in three different colours in both the solid and outline dies. Then I went to work carefully placing the outline frame, with adhesive sheet behind it, onto a Basic White tea cup.

Then I placed the pieces into the white spaces.

When they were all completed, I positioned them on a narrower piece of Basic White cardstock.

I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back of this piece and centred it on the card front.

I used the Dark Orchid Oasis Stampin’ Blend to colour some of the Elegant Faceted Gems and added them to the card front.

The sentiment was stamped, trimmed down and added to the card.

After I finished the card I checked the Freshly Brewed Project Crew Facebook group and realised that I did get my days wrong. Oops!

You can laugh or cry when something like this happens – I chose laughter.

3D Thursday tomorrow and I have a cute tea bag holder to share.

Until then, happy stamping.

I HAVE A NEW SLIMLINE CARD TO SHARE TODAY

This slimline card was made for this week’s Global Design Project challenge featuring flowers.

The Tea Boutique Suite has some floral stamps and dies that I thought would be perfect for this week’s theme.

I die cut and embossed lots of flowers for the card. The colours for the flowers are Crushed Curry, Fresh Freesia, Orchid Oasis and Sweet Sorbet.The splatters folder from the Stripes & Splatters 3D Ebmossing Folder bundle was used to add texture to the flowers.

The tea cup was cut from one of the papers from the Tea Boutique 6″x 6″ Designer Series Paper. I added stampin’ Dimensionals to the back of the cup and placed it on the card to make it appear as if it was pouring out the flowers.

The flowers were added to the card using Multipurpose Glue and Stampin’ Dimensionals. From the top they look to be slowly spilling out from the cup and as they get to the bottom of the card, they begin to pile up.

The greeting, from the Cup of Tea stamp set, was stamped in Fresh Freesia on to a small piece of Basic White cardstock.

The Fresh Freesia gem from the 2021 – 2023 In Colour Gems is perfect for this card.

This was a fun card to make – I hope you like it. I have another card to share later today.

Tomorrow is 3D Thursday and I have a cute little box to share with you.

Until then, happy stamping.
