Cup of Tea Bundle

Cup of Tea Bundle was top on my list when the Annual Catalog came out last spring. My mother collected tea cups and they bring back so many wonderful memories. I was gifted with two amazing parents who died to young but they live on in me, our children and grandchildren. I often see little traits of my mom or dad in them.

When you buy the Cup of Tea Stamp Set and coordinating Teacup Dies in a bundle you save 10% on both. Also to go with this fun set is the matching Tea Boutique 6″ x 6″ designer series paper. The paper has tea-themed images—teacups, teapots, lemons, herbs—on one side with all-purpose patterns on the other side. Sometimes it is so hard to choose which side to use.

Nothing gets my stamping mojo going like a card sketch. Today I used the exact layout of the sketch. Sometimes I turn it from portrait to landscape or replace the circle with a square. There is no right or wrong, just let your imagination run wild.

Sometimes I find the 1/8″ ribbons too narrow for some projects like this one. So I cut a piece of paper to create paper ribbon. Don’t you just love how the tea cup has the filigree design on top.
