Tea Boutique Cards & Envelopes

Hello!

I took another short break from blogging while I was on vacation last week in Savannah, Georgia. It is such a beautiful and historic city! I did a few on & off trolley tours, walked my feet off in the historic district, went on a fun evening ghost tour, walked along the riverfront and ate way too much good food! Here are just a few of the many pictures I took.

Here are two cards we made at my stamping club last month that I hadn’t posted. They use the Cup of Tea Bundle and the coordinating Tea Boutique Cards & Envelopes. The Cards & Envelopes include four each of the five new In Colors and are a quick way to make cards without having to cut and score cardstock for the bases, and the coordinating envelopes are very pretty! There are 20 card bases and 20 envelopes in the package, which at $10.00 is a great value!

Here is how to make the cards.

  • Select one of the card bases from the pack. I used the Starry Sky and Parakeet Party bases for these cards.
  • Cut a piece of Basic White cardstock at 3 1/2″ square and run through die cutting machine with the largest circle from the Stylish Shapes dies. Adhere to card base.
  • Cut a piece of In Color cardstock at 2″x 2 1/2″. Stamp teacup image with coordinating ink and cut out with teacup die.
  • Cut a 2″ wide strip of Basic White cardstock. Stamp striped teacup image and run through die cutting machine. Using the same strip of cardstock, cut out a solid white teacup with the die. On the remaining piece of cardstock, cut a piece of an adhesive sheet and adhere. Run through the die cutting machine with the leaf teacup die. Adhere to solid white teacup. Adhere all three teacups as pictured.
  • To make the lemon, run a scrap piece of Daffodil Delight cardstock through the die cutting machine with the solid lemon die. On another scrap of Daffodil Delight, back it with an adhesive sheet and run through die cutting machine with the lemon slice die. Adhere to solid piece. Adhere to the base of the bottom teacup
  • Run scrap piece of Basic White cardstock through die cutting machine with the large tea bag die. Stamp word with coordinating ink. Die cut the heart from scrap piece of Sweet Sorbet cardstock and adhere to tea bag piece. Adhere tea bag to middle teacup.
  • Cut piece of coordinating 1/8″ metallic ribbon, tie in a bow and adhere to handle of the white teacup with a glue dot.

Cup of Tea Book Fold Card

Hello!

Today’s card features products from the Tea Boutique Suite in the new annual catalog. I’ve been a tea drinker for years so every time Stampin’ Up! has a new tea-related set I always purchase it. I’m really enjoying working with all of the fun images in this set, along with the beautiful Designer Series Papers and the new In Colors.

This is one of the projects we made in my quarterly stamping club this past weekend. Here is how to make the card.

  • Card base – cut a piece of Basic White Thick cardstock at 4 1/4″ x 11″. Score at 4 1/4 and 5 1/2″. Fold and sharply crease score lines with a bone folder. Adhere the 1 1/4″ fold section to the card base so that it opens up like a book.
  • Cut a piece of Tea Boutique Designer Series Paper at 4″ square. Cut another piece of DSP at 1″ x 4″. Adhere both pieces to card front.
  • Cut a piece of Sweet Sorbet cardstock at 3 1/8″ square.
  • Cut a piece of Basic White cardstock at 3″ square. Stamp leaf image with Parakeet Party ink. Stamp the flowers with Tahitian Tide ink. Adhere to Sweet Sorbet square and adhere to front of card.
  • Cut another piece of Basic White cardstock at 2″ x 4″. Stamp teacup with leaf design with Sweet Sorbet ink. Stamp “It’s time for tea” greeting for the large tea bag with Starry Sky ink. Stamp lemon image with Daffodil Delight ink. Run through the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine with the coordinating dies.
  • Adhere the tea cup with Stampin’ Dimensionals. Adhere the tea bag and lemon with glue dots.
  • Cut a length of Sweet Sorbet bakers twine and tie in a bow around the front of the card.
  • Stamp greeting with Sweet Sorbet ink on inside of card. Stamp lemon image with Daffodil Delight ink in bottom left corner of card.
