TODAY’S TECHNIQUE IS CREATING YOUR OWN DESIGNER SERIES PAPER

This week I am featuring the Tea Boutique Suite. There are lots of lovely flower and leaf images in the Cup of Tea Stamp Set, perfect for stamping your own background paper.

I chose two different floral images and one large leaf image from the set.

The first step was to stamp the leaf several times using Parakeet Party. I rotated the leaf each time I stamped giving good coverage across the panel of Basic White cardstock.

Then I used Crushed Curry, Orchid Oasis and Sweet Sorbet to stamp the floral images across the white panel. This is such a quick and easy way to create your own background design. I also stamped one of the flowers on the card insert and envelope.

The greeting, from the Cup of Tea stamp set, was stamped before being cut using one of the new Stylish Shapes Dies. This was placed on the front of the card using Stamping Dimensionals.

There are stitched squares, circles and banners in this set.

A piece of Adhesive Sheet was attached to the back of some Parakeet Party before cutting the leaf overlay tea cup. Then a solid tea cup was cut from Orchid Oasis cardstock. The green overlay piece was positioned precisely over the solid cup. I added dimensionals to the back of the cup and placed it above the greeting.

I die cut some of the flowers and ‘poured’ them into the cup, using dimensionals.

A length each of Orchid Oasis and Parakeet Party Metalic Woven Ribbon were tied into a bow and added to the front of the card.

Tomorrow is the day to share any projects I have made for blog hops or challenges.

Until then, happy stamping.
