A Cup of Thanks

Here is another of our card class makes for the month. This card was inspired by a card and technique I had seen over on the fantastic Monica Gale's blog earlier in the year. This uses the fab Tea Shoppe stamp set which was a popular feature of our Spring Summer Catalogue. Now a little bird told me this may be returning in the new Annual Catalogue so I don't mind sharing a project made with the set.

The colours are our new In Colours Midnight Muse and Raspberry Ripple (with added Crumb Cake and Very Vanilla for extra flavour- sounds like a rather delicious ice cream sundae if you ask me!). The technique is the faux tile effect created using the scoring board and stamping over the scored tiles. I created the background using the En Francais background stamp with Crumb Cake ink.

 

I hope your week has started well. Lots of exciting things happening here on the Isle of Wight. I have been making final preparations for a Pinkies team blog hop which is happening on Saturday morning. Please pop back then to see all the lovely projects made by the team ;0)

 

In the mean time, happy crafting ;0)

Tea Shoppe Thank You

Woohoo!! I finally have lots of lovely things to share with you. I have been busy beavering away for classes and workshops which hasnt left too much time for blogging. So I am attempting to catch up with all the photos I have been taking by scheduling some posts for the upcoming week.

Here is the hostess gift and card from Wednesday's party with Charlotte. I made another of the fab teabag holders I found on Pinterest using the exclusive Everyday Enchantment Designer Series Paper (only available for another 4 days so get your order in asap!). I've shared that project before though so I thought I would highlight the card I made instead.

                                                                                                                                                           

I love this stamp set from the Summer Mini, Tea Shoppe and I'm keeping my fingers crossed that it carries over into the new main catalogue. The colour scheme is Very Vanilla, Lucky Limeade, Soft Suede, Poppy Parade & Peach Parfait. And do you notice the ingenious placement of the sentiment to cover up the fact that the teacups were stamped super wonky? ;0)

I'll be sad to see this designer series paper retire (again) but I'm definitely stocking up before the end of this month.

And in other news, I got my new Autumn/Winter Seasonal Catalogue in the post this morning. It is FANTASTIC!!! I cannot wait to share all the new items with you on September 1st ;0)

Happy Crafting ;0)

An Everyday Enchantment Hostess Thank You

I just wanted to share with you today a Hostess Thank You gift I made for my lovely hostess Andrea last week. I had seen this set on Pinterest and wanted a good reason to recreate it. So when I set about coming up with a Hostess thank you I thought this would be perfect, and it fits perfectly with this months Everyday Enchantment promotion.

Here is the thank you card I made using Tea Shoppe stamp set and the Everyday Enchantment papers. The colour scheme is Peach Parfait, Calypso Coral and Lucky Limeade.



I created this teabag dispenser and filled it with calming fruit teas. This again is focused around the colours in the Everyday Enchantment paper and the stamp is from Tea Shoppe. The ribbon is Peach Parfait Poly Stitched.

 Here is a close up of the tea bag dispenser details. The flower on the top is made from two paper daisies stamped with Calypso Coral and Peach Parfait and sponged around the edges. The centre of the flower is an Antique Brad.

 If you have any questions or would like to take advantage of this months fantastic free ribbon and brad promotion please get in touch directly on poulton_sarah@yahoo.co.uk or 01983 609249.
