Stampin Up Art Gallery Stampin Up Cup Of tea

February was my 15th anniversary as a Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator. I didn’t even realize it until yesterday when I got an email from Stampin’ Up! congratulating me. I knew my anniversary was in February but I didn’t realize it was a big one. Stampin’ Up! was very kind and even gave me a credit towards future purchases. They are such a great company.

I made this card using a few different products. The flowers and leaves are from the Art Gallery stamp set and the Floral Gallery Dies. This stamp set is a two-step stamp set which means two or more stamps create one image. I stamped the large flower background in Blushing Bride ink and the second stamp using Flirty Flamingo. I stamped the smaller flowers in Flirty Flamingo and the leaves in Granny Apple Green. Then I cut those images using the coordinating dies.

Next, I stamped the cup from the Cup Of Tea bundle in Smoky Slate ink and cut it out using the Tea Cup dies (you can save 10% by purchasing them using the bundle item number). I cut a 3.5″ x 4.25″ piece of Basic White card stock and embossed it using the Gingham embossing folder. I layered that on a piece of Granny Apple Green card stock that I cut out using the Deckled Rectangle dies and layered that on a Basic White card base.

The sentiment is from the Beauty Of Friendship stamp set. Lastly, I colored a piece of white Baker’s Twine using my Dark Flirty Flamingo Blends and tied it around the handle.

Here’s to another 15 years!

Stampin Up Cup Of Tea

I know people think I am crazy because I don’t drink coffee. Actually, I have never had a cup of it in my life. I never even tasted it. I just can’t stand the smell. My parents did not drink coffee at all either and neither do my sisters. I guess it depends on how you were raised. I drink a cup of tea every day, though, and I do get a little cranky if I don’t have one (unlike a certain person who shall go unnamed who gets violent with no coffee). Ask me how I know! 🙂

The Tea Boutique Suite of products is in the Stampin’ Up! 2022-2023 Annual Catalog. The suite includes the Cup of Tea stamp set, Teacup Dies, Tea Boutique Designer Series Paper and Tea Boutique Cards & Envelopes. You can order the entire suite using one item number (158670) or you can order things separately. If you order the stamp set and the dies using the bundle item number (158667) you can save 10%. The Suite order number includes the 10% discount too.

To make this card, I first cut a 3.75″ x 5″ piece of the Tea Boutique Designer Series Paper and layered it onto a 4″ x 5.25″ piece of Fresh Freesia card stock and a Basic White card base. Next, I cut out the tag using the Tailor Made Tags and the same DSP. I stamped the tea cup using Orchid Oasis ink on a piece of Fresh Freesia card stock and cut it out using the coordinating die. I stamped the leaves in Garden Green ink and the flowers in Fresh Freesia and cut them out too. I adhered the flowers using Mini Dimensionals. I stamped the sentiment from the Sending Smiles stamp set and cut it out using a die from the Sending Dies. Lastly, I tied a quadruple bow using white Baker’s Twine and adhered it using a Glue Dot.

Let me know if your parents drank coffee when you were growing up and whether or not you do too. I would be interested in knowing if my hypothesis is correct or not.

Stampin Up Cup Of Tea

I have to confess. I hate coffee. I hate the smell of coffee. I have never had a cup of coffee in my life. I know. Most people think I am crazy (right Buffy?). I think it is because neither of my parents ever drank coffee so I did not grow up with it. I have two sisters who don’t drink it either. Years ago, when I worked as the finance officer in a golf club, I offered to make coffee for the servers because it was so busy. It didn’t seem too hard to do since the coffee was premeasured so all you needed to do was open the pack, pour it in the coffee filter and turn on the machine. I did all that and then went back to my office. Later that day, the servers told me I was never allowed to make coffee again. Apparently, you also need to put the glass pot underneath. Oops. All the coffee when all over the floor. They were not too happy with me that day! As a side note, I am a one-cup-a-day hot tea drinker. It is just enough caffeine to get me through the day.

I love the Cup Of Tea bundle that is in the 2022/2023 Stampin’ Up!® Annual Catalog. This bundle, which you can save 10% if you purchase using the bundle item number, includes the stamp set called Cup Of Tea and a die set called Teacup. I knew I would order it the day I first saw it.

To make this card I first adhered a 4″ x 5.25″ piece of Design A Daydream Designer Series Paper onto a Petal Pink card base. You can purchase this amazing pack of paper with a $150 order. It includes 48 sheets of DSP in the pack! Then I cut out a piece of Petal Pink card stock using the Scalloped Contours die set. I cut three cups out of Basic White card stock and three of the design for the cups in Fresh Freesia card stock. I stamped the lemons in Daffodil Delight and cut them out using the coordinating dies. The sentiment is from the stamp set called Sending Smiles and was cut out using the Sending Dies.

Stampin Up Cup Of Tea

This is the last set of cards we made at my stamp camp meeting a couple of weeks ago. I gave each of them a choice of the colors and the stamps they wanted to use. We used the suite called Tea Boutique. This suite includes the stamp set called Cup Of Tea, the coordinating Teacup Dies, Tea Boutique Designer Series Paper and the Tea Boutique Cards & Envelopes.

So let’s talk about the Tea Boutique Cards & Envelopes first. The pack includes twenty card bases that use the new InColors as a background. As a reminder, the new InColors include Orchid Oasis, Parakeet Party, Sweet Sorbet, Starry Sky and Tahitian Tide. Each card base has a different design on it. For example, the Sweet Sorbet card bases have little white flowers. It also includes twenty coordinating envelopes. These cards and envelopes are great for making quick and easy cards because half the work is done for you.

To make these cards, I first cut out two pieces of Basic White card stock using the Scalloped Contours Dies and layered each one on one of the Sweet Sorbet card bases. Next, I cut out a Sweet Sorbet teacup using the Teacup Dies and the leaf part in Tahitian Tide and adhered them together using Multipurpose Glue. Then I cut out the Sweet Sorbet hearts. The Teacup Dies has two larger hearts and then one die cuts out three of the smaller hearts so you have the run the dies through your Cut & Emboss machine once instead of multiple times. I stamped the sentiment from the Cup Of Tea stamp set in Tahitian Tide ink, adhered the tea cup using Dimensionals and the hearts using Multipurpose Glue.

For the other card, I stamped the leaves in Parakeet Party ink and then the flowers in Tahitian Tide. Next, I stamped the sentiment also in Tahitian Tide ink. I stamped the striped tea cup in Sweet Sorbet, cut it out using the coordinating die and adhered it to the card using Dimensionals.

Both card were very quick and easy to make, yet I think they are both very pretty.

Stampin Up Cup Of Tea

Here is another card where I let Stampin’ Up!® beautiful Designer Series Paper do all the talking (I did another one last Monday). DSP is a perfect way to make a card when you are in a hurry but still want to send something nice. This time I used the Tea Boutique 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper. I love that lemon pattern. I remember when Stampin’ Up!® had a lemon stamp set during Sale-a-bration that I used a lot and still have. The Tea Boutique Designer Series Paper is part of the Tea Boutique Suite in the Stampin’ Up!® Annual Catalog. The suite also includes the Cup of Tea stamp set, Teacup Dies and the Tea Boutique Cards and Envelopes. You can buy the entire suite with one item number or buy each item separately. If you just want the stamp set and the dies make sure you use the bundle number so you can save 10%. By the way, if you do buy the entire suite, it includes the 10% discount on the stamps and dies.

Again, this card was super easy to make. I just adhered a 3 7/8″ x 5 1/8″ piece of the Tea Boutique paper onto a 4″ x 5.25″ piece of Garden Green card stock and an A2 (4.25″ x 5.5″) Basic White card base. Then I added a 1″ x 5 1/8″ piece of Daffodil Delight and a 1/4″ x 5 1/8″ of Garden Green card stock. I like using 1/4″ strips of card stock when I don’t have ribbon in a particular color. I stamped the sentiment from the Cup Of Tea stamp set in Garden Green ink and cut it out using the Beautiful Shapes die set. I layered that on top of a another hexagon in Garden Green. I layered that onto the card using Dimensionals. Lastly, I cut out the little lemon slice and flower by hand to add a little accent to the sentiment

I am very excited that a few ladies from the stamp club I used to have when we lived in New York year round are coming tonight for a stampin’ get together! I. have three projects I have designed for them to put together. They are such a great group of ladies and we always have such a good time. I’ll show you the projects we make over the next week or two.

Stampin Up Cup Of Tea

I remember when my mother was selling her house to move into Independent Living. My sister, Emily had to do all the packing and moving because she lived near my mother and the whole sale of the house, closing and move happened really quickly. My mom kept asking me is if I would like some of her things. Honestly, there was very little I wanted. My mother was a little beside herself because both of my sisters and I did not want much of anything. She has china that had busy patterns and I am more of a plain china person.

When Rob and I moved to Nashville we asked our kids if they wanted anything. They did not. What? We have some beautiful things that we just did not have the room for. I couldn’t understand why they would don’t want it. Then I remembered how I felt about my mother’s belongings. I guess they felt the same way I did but my things are so much nicer than my mother’s! Ha!

Tea Boutique is a suite of products in the 2022/2023 Stampin’ Up!® Annual Catalog. It includes the stamp set called Cup O Tea, Teacup Dies, Tea Boutique Designer Series Paper and Envelopes. If you purchase the stamp set and dies in a bundle, you can save 10%.

To make my card I decided to use the Hues Of Happiness Designer Series Paper. My Mom had some tea cups (that I did not want!) that looked like this DSP so I decided to use the tea cup die and cut it out of this paper. I stamped the leaves in Granny Apple Green ink on a piece of So Saffron card stock and cut it out using a new set of dies called Deckled Rectangles. Then I cut out a piece of Granny Apple Green card stock and another piece of the Hues Of Happiness DSP using larger Deckled Rectangles. I layered all of these onto a So Saffron card base.

After this I stamped the flowers in Blushing Bride ink on Blushing Bride card stock and cut them out using the coordinating die. The flowers are all on one stamp and there is one die that cuts out all the flowers at once. Lastly I stamped the tea bag using Granny Apple Green ink onto Granny Apple Green card stock and cut it out. I added a bit of White Baker’s Twine from the Essentials Pack and adhered it with a Dimensional.

So, if your parents offered you possessions they own, would you take them? Would your children take yours? I am thinking you would agree with my decision and your kids would agree with my kid’s.
