I love this bundle from the Stampin' Up 2016 Occasions Catalog. I fell in love with it from the minute I saw it and couldn't wait to get it and use it. The stamp set is "A Nice Cuppa" and the Framelit set is "Cups and Kettles". I bought the bundle, which saves you 15% on both. The matching paper (DSP designer series paper) is "Have a Cuppa" stack.
This is my first card from it.The base of the card is "Melon Mambo" card stock and the background layer is some DSP that I have from last year that went with the "Painted Petals" stamp set. I sponged it with some "Melon Mambo" ink.
I used the tea cup framelit and cut out the tea cup and then used the bottom of the tea cup and cut a sliver out of white and attached it with a glue dot to the bottom of the back of the tea cup.. For the saucer I used the Large Oval punch.
It was calling out for some silverware and a newspaper. So I cut out a small square from the 'Typeset" DPS and lightly folded it and secured it with a glue dot.
The napkin is just a small square cut from some paper towel and folded. The silverware, was a puzzle. I couldn't think of any paper that I had that would work, for me anyway. Then I remembered I had some tape that I found in my late husband's garage stash. Not sure what it's called, it's found a your local Home Depot or Lowe's. It has adhesive on the back so I cut a length of about 2" from it, attached it to a scrap of cardstock and ran the pieces through my Big Shot.
There were marks on the silverware from the holes to separate the paper from the framelit. I liked them on the handle to give it some texture, but didn't want them on the tines, blade or bowl so I took my bonefolder and just smoothed them out.
The teabag I stamped in "Tip Top Taupe" then found a heart that was small enough in my "Just Saying" stamp set and stamped it in "Melon Mambo" in the center of the little box.
The steam heart I cut out of velum, but white would work too. It would be nice with a little "Wink of Stella" to give it some sparkle.
The sentiment, I stamped again in "Melon Mambo", stamping off once and the again used the "Large Oval" punch.
Any of the products that I use can be purchased in my store:
