Playing with Tea Cups

Hello everyone! I finally had time to play with a new fabulous Stampin' Up set called "Tea Shoppe" from the Occassions Mini Catalog. I am preparing for a workshop this weekend, and so I have made several samples. I am featuring just 2 here today. One is for the Paper Players challenge seen here: (First, I have to say how excited I am that I was chosen as "A Cut Above" for my Extreme Guitar guy card last week! WooHoo!)

My first card features the new Twitterpated dsp also found in the Stampin' Up mini occassions catalog, mounted on a baja breeze card base. LOTS of lovely patterns! I stamped the tea cups (3 on one stamp) in coordinating colors (indigo island, riding hood red, & baja breeze,) then cut them out to go with the sketch challenge. I hate cutting things out...but a girl's gotta practice, right? Each cup was mounted on a blushing bride circle, mounted on whisper white and indigo island layers. How 'bout this GORGEOUS ribbon?? New pleated ribbon is found in the mini in 4 colors (I have them all now!) and I hope we have more in the future! The sentiment is also from Tea Shoppe, stamped in riding hood red, and used with the word window and modern label punches. Ta-dah!

The next card is quick, clean, and simple! Lucky limeade card base, with a layer of Everyday Enchantment dsp from the Sale-a-Bration catalog. I stamped this large, pretty cup in pool party, then used the rock-n-roll technique to add a bit of limeade ink on very vanilla card stock. I sponged the edges with soft suede ink, and added a SAB brad. The sentiment is from Delightful Dozen,punched out with the circle and popped up with dimensionals. My other embellishments are basic pearls and pool party ruffled ribbon. Hope this card makes someone feel better soon!

Thanks for stopping by!
