Time for a Tea Party!


Last night I hosted a virtual Tea Party Catalog Kick-off and the project above was one of the projects we made during our online class.  The Tea Boutique Suite is one of my favorite suites!  I love the new 2022-2024 In Colors and they are featured in this collection of products.  Scroll down to see the supplies used for this card.

Card Measurements/Elements and Instructions:

·                  5-1/2" x 8-1/2" Sweet Sorbet Cardstock

·                  5” x 3-3/4” Sweet Sorbet Cardstock (embossed with Timeworn Type embossing folder)                 

·                  Petal Pink DSP scalloped rectangle (from Tea Boutique DSP)

·                  Starry Sky teacup & Orchid Oasis overlay (adhere Adhesive Sheet to card stock before die-cutting)

·                  Tea Boutique DSP teacup

·                  Lemon wedge, hearts, and teabag tag

 

1.      Fold card base and adhere embossed piece.

2.     Build the Starry Sky cup by peeling the backing off the Orchid Oasis overlay and adhere to solid cup being careful to get the bits punched out.  Do the same with the lemon wedge.

3.      Choose a pattern for the other teacup and adhere one end of twine to the back, bring the twine around to the front and attach the teabag tag to the other end of twine (trimming twine as needed).

4.     Adhere the pattern teacup towards the top of the scalloped piece.  Attach the Starry Sky cup, lemon wedge, and tag with Dimensionals.

5.      Attach scalloped rectangle with Dimensionals to card front and add hearts.

Attendees were treated to some tea-party treats!

Over Zoom we ooh'ed and aah'ed over the  Annual Catalog together and made our two cards.  I am thankful for my fellow demonstrators who shared ideas using the Tea Boutique Suite at our annual Stampin' Up! On Tour event, which helped me provide a fun experience for my stampers!

Paper-crafting Blog Hop - He's the Man


Welcome to the Paper Crafting Blog Hop! Our MAY 2022 blog hop includes Stampin' Up! Independent Demonstrators from around the world...including the United States, the United Kingdom, and Australia!  Get ready to be wowed by a variety of creative projects and design styles!  You may have arrived from Shirley's Blog...I hope you were inspired by her project!

We are featuring MASCULINE projects this month. Below is the card that I created using the new He's the Man Suite.  It includes the He's All That stamp set, All That Dies, (get both in the He's All That Bundle), He's the Man 12 x 12 Specialty Designer Series Paper, and Rustic Metallic Adhesive-Backed Dots. 

I love how the Specialty Paper has 2 die-cut sheets with images perfect for cards or scrapbooking!

And this is one of my favorite Card Maps to use to showcase Designer Series Paper.  Sometimes I just can't decide which pattern to use, so this layout is great because it uses FOUR!

  1. plaid: 2" x 2-1/2"
  2. BBQ: 3" x 2-1/4"
  3. tweed: 2-1/2" x 1-1/2"
  4. stripes: 2-1/2" x 2-1/2"

And of course a BBQ restaurant gift card is the perfect gift inside of the card!

Your Biggest Fan!


Getting ready for GRADUATION season!  This was a card featured on my first ever Card Buffet last weekend.  I thought it would make a good graduation card, but it works for ANY kind of a pat on the back for a job well done!

The banner was made with the Hey Sports Fan Designer Series Paper and Sports Event Dies from the January-June 2022 Mini Catalog.  Since I don't have the coordinating stamp set, Your Biggest Fan, I used the stamps from the February 2022 Paper Pumpkin Kit Safari Celebration.  The stamps from the Batter Up past Paper Pumpkin kit would work great too!  You can find a selection of past Paper Pumpkin kits and refills HERE.

The Hey Sports Fan DSP may not look it at first, but it is really versatile!  The non-sporty sides and "B-sides" of the paper featuring Poppy Parade, Bumblebee, Night of Navy, and Evening Evergreen I think will work great for Disney Scrapbooking!  


Crafting for a Cause

And recently we used the stripes and blue woodgrain sides to make cards for local veterans taking the Lake County Honor Flight to Washington DC.  These Fox Lake Area Queens did a wonderful job writing messages of thanks and appreciation to these veterans!



Here are some more great ideas using the Hey Sports Fan Suite!
