Tea Together CTC#269 Week 1



This week, and next at CASE-ing The Catty we are CASE-ing our favourite retiring bundle. I adore Tea Together with its matching dies and have been using it lots lately. Last I checked it was still in the Last-Chance Products, and it has been drastically reduced in price. 

These two cards were the starting point, mainly because the Purple Posy paper from Best Dressed DSP just said 'Teacups', to me. Some gold heat embossing times three, and I began to trim the patterned paper for the paper-piecing on the teapot and cup on the left.



It had to be gold embossing because my grandmother's teacups which are in my custody now, all have gold rims which NEVER can go in the dish washer!!!!Unfortunately, it is often difficult to pick up those details in a photograph.



This other Purple posy card has a plain teapot & cup and a strip of the DSP is behind them.


Paper-piecing helped to dress this teapot too, using a paper from Ornate Garden SDSP. The small flowers have a passing resemblance to a flower stamp in the Tea Together stamp set.


Lastly, I've stamped the smaller flower randomly over the card front, after using a 'hello' stamp from the Darling Label Punch Box on the Stamparatus. Its so easy with the hinge on ther plates, you just move it down a notch each time you stamp and you get a lovely straight row of words. I also graduated the colour from light to dark. I do enjoy a nice hot pot of freshly brewed tea and never touch coffee.

We share our projects to inspire you to create and send cards. It would be wonderful if you CASE-d the Colours of the Ornate Garden Suite and shared your card or other project on our Facebook page.




I'd love you to choose my online shop to purchase from, use the Host Code when asked at check out, & I will send you a gift, along with a handmade card. It's extra hard at the moment to run an online business so any help you give by ordering is greatly appreciated. The items listed below were used in my project above, and link to that item in my online shop.

Come To Gather Birthday Cards


Following on from my last post for CASE-ing The Catty, I decided to share some more cards using the Come To Gather DSP, just because it is so versatile, and not just for Autumn. I found a card I'd made a while back using a range of pretty floral papers and decided to CASE my own card.



The design is a lovely way to really show off the lovely colours and papers, and stamping can be minimal. With careful preparation, this card is quite good for a 'Make & Take.'  Not sure what I mean by 'Make & Take'? It's the card you and your guests make when you host a Stampin' Up! demonstration. Have you ever thought about having a crafting afternoon with friends. If you're in the northern suburbs of Melbourne - say 25km around Sth Morang, we could see if we could arrange a mutually suitable time for your party.



A very simple stamp and punch set which comes in a cute metal tin was the greeting I chose for these cards, and the 2-colour effect is easy. Stamp once in the base colour, clean off the stamp and re-ink with the 2nd colour before stamping out again and trimming with scissors.



Inside the metal box are 6 stamps, a punch, one Night Of Navy plus one Grapefruit Grove inkspot and a block to use with the stamps. Add a pack of notecards & envelopes and you're all set to produce fabulous cards! 



Each one of these cards had a slightly different trim, and in the end my favourite was the wood grain card. I just love the Leaf Punch and Sprig Punch. Such an effective look. These are a nice style of card for any occasion, with the patterned paper doing all the heavy lifting. Can you imagine a Christmas card like this?

I like to reward you for shopping with me and using the Host code. That helps gather all the smaller orders together into a 'party' and I share the Host benefits with my customers, proportional to the amount spent. There is a spot at the online shop order form where you are asked if you have a Host Code. 

If you'd like to have a catalogue party to group all your friend's purchases, get in touch beforehand and I will set you up with your personal host code and explain how it works. If you feel inclined to treat yourself to $250 worth of Stampin' Up! - just go ahead and place your order online and when you reach $250, you will be earning 10% in Host benefits which you spend before you close the order. Again, ask me if you're not sure.
