Tea and Cookies - Round Two

Now that my Aunt has received a package that I mailed to her, I can share this with the rest of you.  I would have shared sooner, but she peeks in here and I didn't want to spoil her surprise!

She is a part of a book club that meets once a month and while I was searching for Christmas poems to go with the cookies and tea packets I made, I ran across one that mentioned a cup of tea and a good book and my mind started racing!

So here is what I came up with and wrote my own little poem for inside!





These were made with all the same measurements as my original post HERE

The changes, of course are the colors, DSP (Designer Series Paper) and the stamps.  The tea and the cookies are the same.

Stamps:
Itty Bitty Christmas (front)
Tea Together - (inside)

Paper - Mint Macaron, Whisper White, Bird Ballad Designer Series Paper.
Ribbon - 1/4" Textile Ribbon - Mint Macaron


Thank you for looking in today!  Oh, and my Aunt texted me today when the mail arrived and she LOVES THEM!  Yayyy!!

Have a Blessed Sunday!

Tea Together Tips

When I first saw this set I knew the perfect person to receive the first card and her birthday is coming up, so here it is!  I won't say who it will be going to, just in case she peeks in.


Recipe:
Powder Pink - 5 1/2" x 8 1/2", scored and folded at 4 1/4"
Powder Pink - 4" x 5 1/4" - Embossed with the Subtle Embossing Folder
Whisper White for Teapot
Shimmery White for doily, cut with Beautiful Layers Thinlits then cut in half
Whisper White for Sentiment - cut with Rectangle Dies


So, I want to tell you about the new cling stamps that are in the latest catalog.  They are VERY VERY sticky!  So, here's a tip for you to remember so that you don't ruin them like I almost did.  After you put your stickers on them and have them all assembled, use some washi tape on the edge of the sticky side, like a handle.  If you put them into their case or on a clear block when you stamp, you may have a very difficult time getting them up unless you have something that keeps part of it from sticking - aka - the washi tape.  Leave the tape a bit long so you have something to grab and lift with.



Here it is on the clear block:


My next tip for you is for stamping the flowers onto the tea pot.  Stamp your tea pot onto the paper you wish to use and then, stamp it  again onto a post it note.  Cut out the center of the pot along the lines so you can stamp a flower or leaves and not have them stamp outside the lines.



Then color as desired.  I colored mine with Pool Party Stampin' Blends as lightly as I could.


Thank you for looking in today!  Have an awesome Saturday.  I know I will because I will be stamping with our Stampin' Up! team of demonstrators!
