Birthday Tea!
by Rachel Duong

Hi, it’s Rachel here to share a Birthday Tea card! What a fun way to spend the day whether it’s spilling the tea, or drinking the tea with a wonderful friend! I created this delightful card in a display of bright Poppystamps cardstock colors. The Nordic Cheery Butterflies and the Nordic Cozy Tea Cup dies are absolutely awesome.

To create this card I diecut the Poppystamps Nordic Cozy Tea Cup in trios of color–two colors in the same family and a third color for the rim. I adhered the cups together and arranged them how I thought looked best.

I diecut the Diamond Oval Pinpoint Background in a light cream cardstock and glued it to a white cardbase. Now for the cups and butterflies…When adhering the pieces to the card, I used extra layers of cardstock under areas that were lower than the rest of the diecut before gluing it down.

Next I chose glitter and pearlescent papers in coral and blue to cut out the Nordic Cheery Butterflies. I assembled the butterflies and die cut the antennae in black glossy paper. Then I used the same black paper to cut out the Happy Birthday Tender Script. I doubled up the layers of the sentiment to make it extra thick and strong. I adhered it to the card slightly off to the right for balance.

I love the patent leather look of this paper. It adds so much pizazz to a regular black paper.

Finally, Fairy Jewels finish the card!

The Poppystamps Nordic Cheery Butterflies and Nordic Cozy Tea Cup dies are so versatile and easy to use. I hope you check out the new release, Nordic Daydream. It’s great for all cards for spring and summer and beyond. Until next time, have a friend join you in making cards while you chat and spill the tea!
