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.

Celebrating Mothers AWH Monthly Creative Showcase


Welcome to the Art With Heart Stampin’ Up! Team Monthly Creative Showcase. The theme for this month’s showcase is Mother’s Day. Under the current conditions Mother’s Day this year is going to be completely different to any other Mother’s Day celebrations. I have seven delightful grandchildren, the children of my three married sons and their wives, and as my husband commented at the weekend, "I even miss the mess they leave when they go home!"


The Art With Heart Team are hoping to share a little Mother’s Day love and inspiration with you tonight. Then it's time for you to get making, there's still time to create a card for Mother's Day and if you can't drop it and a gift on the door step, at least pop it in the post.


If I was making for my mother, it would have to be this Seaside Spray card, as blue was a favourite colour of hers. She also had a beautiful garden which she devoted a lot of time to, so I imagine the Ornate Garden Suite would have been right up her alley. I've used 3 of the floral stamps from Ornate Style. This stamp is bundled with the Ornate Frames dies, which I used on my second card. 


This card also features the Ornate Floral 3D folder which has a lot of beautiful detail, and can of course be used de-bossed as well as, embossed. Now for my second card.


I've done a lot of mix 'n' match on this card, beginning with placing Terracotta Tile DSP from the Ornate Garden suite onto Roccoco Rose card. The Teapot has been coloured with possibly every pink Stampin' Blend in existence. The largest frame diecut is on the inside, and the second largest is die cut from Stampin' Up! Vellum, which is very stiff and the lace edges stand up beautifully.



The next demonstrator to share her Mother's Day card with you is the talented Caroline Manwaring.
