I have to backdate this entry because it was a little late. As I mentioned a couple of months ago, we had an unplanned repair and it really upended things. I had to pack away a lot of craft supplies and we were packing and unpacking - who knew such a little thing could cause a big disruption? When my desk was set up again, I was so eager to play with all my new paper that I decided to make a variety of rectangular and square cards.
Supply list
I added some small touches with Stampin' Blends markers and I could have used some ribbon here or there - but it was just so good to finally CRAFT, that I didn't want to get too crazy! Click on each picture for a larger view.
- Very Vanilla 8.5x11" cardstock
- Whisper White 8.5x11" cardstock
- Vellum 8.5x11" cardstock
- Tea Room Specialty DSP
- Spot of Tea Framelits Dies
- Time for Tea Stamps
- Fresh Fig ink
- Big Shot, Stampin' Blends markers, adhesive, Stampin' Sponges and Stampin' Dimensionals plus scissor snips
- I made rectangular and square cards. For the rectangular bases, I scored a sheet of Very Vanilla cardstock at the 4.25” mark and cut each sheet in half. I did the same for the square cards, but trimmed them to 4.25x4.25”.
- Cut the fronts from Tea Time DSP. The fronts of the rectangular cards will be 3.75x5”. The fronts for the square cards will be 3.75x3.75”. An easy way to make a variety of card fronts is to cut 3.75” strips from the 12x12” DSP sheets, then trim into 5” rectangles or 3.75” squares.
- Stamp the tea cup on Whisper White cardstock in Fresh Fig ink. Rich Razzleberry would also look great! Die cut each one.
- Die cut a matching amount of the largest doily shape and set aside. Die cut some from vellum paper too if you wish.
