tea for two ~ blog blitz

Uncategorized

I hope you are enjoying our blog blitz and seeing all the new dies that were just released.

Today I am using the Teacup Stack die and I must admit it is one of my favorites.

For my card I cut a piece of white cardstock to 4 x 5 1/4 and then placed the teacup die on the left side and die cut it out. I then added a piece of vellum behind where I die cut it out. This would be used to hold the finished teacup stack. I then started cutting out different colors of cardstock to fill in the openings in the teacups.

 

Next I added some alpha stickers to create my sentiment and used a tracing wheel to go around the outside edge to create the faux stitching.

Once that was complete I added some adheshive and placed the teacup stack on the vellum. I hen added a few foam squares to the back and placed it on a top folding A2 card base.

Don’t forget to leave a comment for a chance to win this awesome Teacup Stack die.
