International Tea Day Card

Hello friends! If you follow me on social media, you know I'm an avid tea lover. I typically post my daily steeps in my Stories. Yes, I still love a morning coffee, but tea has my heart the rest of the day! So obviously, I'm bringing you a tea themed card to celebrate International Tea Day. I recently purchased the Sunny Studios stamp set "Afternoon Tea", and this is my second card creating with this set, along with lots of other products from Scrapbook.com. Scroll down for details. You'll find my clickable shopping supply list at the end.

But before moving on, let me share what I'm sipping in the photo. My favorite Masala Chai tea from Vahdam. I've tried lots of chai's and it's my absolute favorite. And in case you're wondering about the teaspoon, I had it customized from a Christian online gift shop last year called Wandering Tulips. It makes a lot of appearances in my tea photos, and the quote I came up with was "Tea Gives Me Wings". 

It's so me!

I'm not sharing tutorial photos today. This card came together quickly with die cutting, stamping and embossing. But, let me tell you about some of the products used to create this card.

I don't have the die set that goes with my tea stamp set. So, I stamped my tea stamp on the Cozy patterned paper with clear emboss ink, sprinkled on Wow Gold embossing powder (tapping off the excess) and heat set. Then, it was simply a matter of hand trimming all around the gold embossing, cutting out the inside portion of the handle with a craft knife.

I also used the Morocco nested die set, the largest one, for the backdrop for my tea cup, pairing it with Vintage patterned paper and also using a dark brown cardstock trim for the "table".

My greenery was die cut from several dies in the Build-A-Bouquet die set, and the brick backing was from the A2 die set called Bricks. I actually dry embossed that die with my Platinum 6 and heavyweight A2 cardstock from Scrapbookcom. Ironically, this is a tea card and that paper is called "Java", haha!

 

Lastly, my sentiment was stamped using Catherine Pooler ink in Cargo and Spiced, and I also splattered lots of white paint around. Oh, and those little dots in the center of my greenery and embellishment to my string and bow? Those are black adhesive foam dots topped with my Pops of Color Orange Creamsicle. It's a very light orange, almost yellow in color.

There you have it. Have a cup of tea today, relax and enjoy life! Thanks for stopping by!

Terri

Rosy Love Card for Erin Lee Creative

I've been showcasing products from the new Erin Lee Creative release this week, and here's another. I've also been crushing on pink lately, and today is no different. This card features 3 different products from the new Birds of a Feather collection. Scroll down for creative details, plus my clickable supply list at the end. Plus, how you can get a discount!

 (FTC Disclosure: as an affiliate for various companies in the craft industry, I will receive a small commission for purchases made through my convenient affiliate links, at no additional cost to you.)

First, let's talk about the frame. The Vintage Floral Hot Foil Frame & Die Set is one of the new products. I did some foiling with this frame, but saved the negative for use on this card. I took my negative sheet and used my solid hot foil plate with my Glimmer hot foil system. The foil I used is Spellbinders Espresso Bean and it was adhered to pink cardstock. 

Now if you don't have a solid hot foil plate, you can still adhere the negative foil! Just spray your cardstock with adhesive spray, such as Pixie adhesive spray from Thermoweb, allow to dry for a minute, then apply your negative foil over the sprayed cardstock, smoothing with a bone folder or pencil. For best results, do not peel off the top foil liner, leave intact! You'll have gorgeous shine! I'll link the spray in my supply list for those who wish to purchase.

I tried to get an image below, of the shimmer and shine from that foiling.

Next, are the roses from Vintage Rose Bouquet die set. The rose blooms and leaves were die cut with my Platinum 6 and pink paper from a paper pad. I did some ink blending around the edges with my Ranger Distress Oxide ink in Vintage Photo.

I also cut the large bouquet die with kraft paper, then layered my blooms and leaves on top, popping them up with adhesive foam. I did some paint splattering as well.

I did some digging through my scrapbook paper stash and found some paper with a pretty pink and purple sky. I trimmed it down and adhered it directly to the back of my frame. The frame dies for the Vintage Floral Frame actually come with an outline die and a die to cut out the inside of the frame.

 

Lastly, my sentiment is from the new Love Birds stamp/die set. I did some masking with tape to stamp the word love in pink. It's helpful to have a stamp positioner to use the mask technique. My final touch is a burlap string bow and button, hot glued over the stems of my paper flowers.

This would make a lovely Valentine, anniversary or wedding card. If you shop through any of my affiliate links for Erin Lee Creative on this blog post, you will get a 10% discount. Woo hoo! 

Some of the other products that I used can be found at Scrapbook.com, so if you also wish to purchase any other products linked below, be sure and use code CRAFTY at checkout, through Feb. 2nd at midnight MST for an additional 10% discount on your entire purchase. Two great discounts for you today!

Happy crafting and thanks for stopping by!

Terri
