Tea Shoppe Cuppa

This is my second favourite set from the new mini catalogue called Tea Shoppe.
In fact, it could alsmost take over as my favorite!  There are so many images in this set, it is so much fun to play with.  We are a family of tea drinkers.  Tea for any occasion, whether it's a quick call in and cuppa,
a relax with a magazine cuppa or a get me up and going cuppa or even a comfort cuppa.
So this set immediately appealed to me.  I love the vintage feel to the stamps which also coordinates with a lot of my other stamp sets.  Lots of things can perch on the edge of that gorgeous big cup.  It is also a good technique stamp.

For this one I have also used the beautiful butterly from Creative Elements set.
The other elements are all from Tea Shoppe!  I have again used my Framelits to create the die cut.
The DSP is from Paisley Petals and my base card is the new In-color Calypso Coral.

Hope you like it!

So, this is one of my first cards made with the new Apothecary Art stamp set.
I went a bit crazy with this stamp set when I first got it but sadly I've given most of the cards away.  I'll just have to make some more!

The base for this card is the In-Color Blushing Bride (soon to retire).
I embossed a white piece with the Stripes folder.
I stamped and die cut one of the images from Apothecary Art and coloured it with my markers.
and layered it with graduating die cuts from the new Framelits labels set.
The greeting is also from Apothecary Art.
Isn't the new pleated ribbon divine!

I'll stamp up some more cards shortly and share them.

This is my little Easter card.
I don't generally do Easter cards but I had to do just one...popped it in to the Easter egg basket!
The chicken stamp is an oldie but a goodie(or should I say googie!!!) "A good egg".
I stamped and coloured it with my markers and added the chunky glitter to create a sparkly egg.
I stamped the egg image on dsp and cut it out - yes with scissors!
The Celery die cut is a new die cut set for the Big shot called Framelits labels collection.  These are fab and you can also get a matching stamp set called Apothecary Art.  There are six dies in the collection - graduating sizes of the same fab shape.  You can create frames and emboss them, great fun.  Great for scrapbook journalling spots too.

I embossed the white cardstock with the Stries embossing folder and mounted the whole thing on Cerlery cardstock.  I added a greeting stamped and cut out with the modern label punch.

There you have it!  My Easter card.
Enjoy!
