Best Teas - Friendship Card

So Glad We Are Best Teas

Posi "tea"vely fantastic stamp set!

This adorable card was created using the Tea Cup Blooms stamp 

from Trinity Stamps. 

Trinity Stamps are amazing stamps to create with, they are made of quality material for perfect stamping! I sometimes use a stamp positioning tool when I am creating cards, however I don't even have to pull it out when I am using Trinity Stamps. The stamp is always beautiful and crisp with just one stamp! 

The stamp set is a nice combination of beautiful and adorable. It features some lovely flowers to place in the tea cup or anywhere else on your card front. There are also a few single flowers and leaves that can be added to the bouquet or used on their own. 

The tea cup and saucer feature a filler stamp to fill your cup with tea (coffee), and a cute little tea bag as an add on to your cup. 

I paired up with the Punny Cup of Tea sentiment set to choose

 the perfect greetings for my card. 

I've made a few cards with this stamp, die, and sentiment set from Trinity Stamps. 

However, this card features mostly the stamp set. 

I stamped the cup and created a mask for the cup using a sticky note, placed it, and then stamped the flower and leaf to appear they were laying behind the cup. 

I removed the mask, colored the images, created a heavy shadow where the cup would be sitting on it's imaginary counter or table. 

I felt red was a beautiful and bold choice for the tea cup, and ended up loving it!!

The end card front was splattered with a coordinating red water color paint combined

 with a few drops of water, this added just the perfect touch to highlight the "so glad we are best teas" sentiment. 

I had a little ladybug embellishment in my stash, so I added on of those to the card.

I added just a touch of the same splatter to the card inside with a chosen greeting, as well as a few splatters for a coordinating envelope. 

I will be sharing a few cards that I have created with the above products that I will be sharing in the future, so I will just let you know there are a set of dies to go with this set. 

Using the Tea Cup Blooms Coordinating Dies to create your projects leaves you with plenty of time for sipping tea while admiring your finished cards. 

I will be using all three of these products in future projects. 

If you would like to craft along I have linked to the products to make it easy 

for you to find them. 

Happy Crafting!! 

As we roll into the new year, we will find some changes coming to the way this page works.

We will still be creating some fantastic projects, however they will focus around the same chosen products to make our craft time more productive and cost effective. 

I will be posting in advance the products I will be creating with. 

Also most projects will be going out on the Paper Adventures newsletter, so you might want to be sure you are signed up for that at the top of this page. 

This blog space has been great, however I find there are many visitors, and many downloads for the projects, but very few responses or comments. So much so that I have started to question my purpose on this page. As much as I love to create and share with everyone so that you can also create and share - the limited contact, encouragement or lack of a simple thankyou have become stifling. 

I take many hours away from my family to craft and complete projects to share here in the hopes of creating a bit of a little community , find out what you like, what you don't like. What kind of projects you would like to see? Despite posting and asking these questions, I get very few replies in comparison to the numbers of visits to each tutorial post.

So again, the New Year will bring a lot of changes.
