Back with another card for the
Summer Coffee Lovers Blog Hop!
I had planned on making more cards before the last day today but the end of the school year activities kept me out of the craft room until last night. However there is still 7 hours left before the link closes and it is Friday night so who knows what may happen?!
My lovely little teapot shaker card uses the "Tea for Two" stamp and die set from Paper Sweeties. I used a heart die to cut out a window in the teapot and create my shaker filled with glitter and some of the lovely flower shaped Paper Sweeties sequins. To give the teapot dimension I embossed the outline stamp onto the die cut with some white embossing powder. I then went in with my Versamark marker and colored portions of the teapot in and embossed again. This gave some dimension to the lid and base of the pot. I also added marker and embossing around the heart window. To finish it off I just added a tiny tag with the sentiment "Tea for Two" which is part of the stamp set. So sweet. A few sequins coming out of the spout of the pot finishes the card quite nicely.
The background I created in Word by typing some of my favorite tea flavors....orange pekoe, mint, chamomile, lemon, raspberry, etc. and then repeating them down the page. Once the page was filled I printed it out on some white card stock and die cut the scalloped panel. I wish I had a background stamp with tea names but I do not. Does anyone know of a stamp company that makes one? I also wish I had a "tea" word die....that would have been fun to cut out of the teapot for a shaker too!
Well that is it for me for now...thanks for taking a look! I hope you are enjoying the Summer Coffee Lovers Blog Hop as much as I. So fun to see all of the fun cards and projects that have been created!
Hugs,
Jill
