When is the last time you invited someone over for tea? Why not make up this cute card and set some time aside to indulge!
Our designer, Amy, is bringing a festive tea card our way today. Amy said, “I’m loving the new Large Coffee Cup and Large Teacup with Saucer sets! This month I’m going to be featuring the Large Teacup, one die – two different ways.” We love this project and think today’s card would be perfect to send to a friend after the holidays. A gentle reminder to take time out to enjoy the little things.
- I used the packaging illustration as a guide in light, med and dark inks.
- I picked my sentiment from the 37050 You are a Tea-riffic and stamped it in Juniper ink, from the Color Fuse Set # 11.
- I die cut the 5806D Postage Stamp Nested Die in white.
- I used a nesting rectangle to cut out the interior of the Postage Stamp panel.
- I die cut the 5834D Circle Cover Die in white.
- I trimmed down the Circle Cover panel to fit behind the Postage Stamp frame and adhered them together.
- I die cut all the pieces of the 5847-01D Large Teacup w/Saucer die in watercolor paper.
- I die cut all the pieces of the 5416-06D Holly #2 Die in watercolor paper.
- I sorted all the pieces and gathered them by ink colors and then blended the inks.
- I die cut the tea bag and string in white.
- Starting from the bottom, layer the pieces:
- A2 white panel
- The Postage Frame and Circle Cover layer.
- I trimmed down the sentiment into a strip and placed it in the upper left hand corner.
- Large Teacup w/Saucer + tea bag.
- I placed the holly tucked under the tea cup.
