I have received so many positive remarks about this card I designed using the Tea Together stamp set that I thought I’d share the directions on how to make it. It’s perfect for a Mother’s Day card or birthday card for a special lady in your life. The colors are so soft and the design so feminine that it’s sure to bring a smile to whoever receives it!

Assembly:
Snail a piece of Petal Pink cardstock to the card front.
Use a sponge brayer to apply Petal Pink ink to the top inside of the Lace Dynamic Embossing Folder (the side with the ‘Sissix’ name on it).
Place a 5 3/8″ x 4 1/8″ piece of Whisper White cardstock into the inked folder and run through the Big Shot to transfer the ink and design onto the cardstock. Snail to the card front.
Using Smokey Slate ink, stamp the teapot from the Tea Together stamp set onto the 4″ x 4″ piece of Whisper White cardstock, then cut out with the teapot die from the Tea Time framelits.
Using Smokey Slate ink, stamp the small flower from the Tea Together stamp set onto the teapot and stamp three flowers onto a scrap piece of Whisper White cardstock. Cut out the three flowers using the coordinating die from the Tea Time framelits.
Transfer a small amount of ink from the Petal Pink Stampin’ Pad onto a clean acrylic block. Use a blender pen to pick up the ink from the acrylic block and color the flowers. Scribble a small amount of Pear Pizzazz ink onto a clean acrylic block, pick up the color with a blender pen and color the leaves on flower images. If you don’t have the Pear Pizzazz marker, you could also use the Pear Pizzazz Stampin Pad and place it on an acrylic block and use the blender pen to color the leaves. Use a Pineapple Punch marker to color the flower centers.
Center and cut the strip of Whisper White cardstock with the Delicate Lace Edgelit. Refer to photo for the edgelit used on this card. Glue this onto the 4″ x 1″ strip of dotted Petal Pink DSP. Adhere this finished strip onto the card front about 1/3 of the way up from the bottom of the card, refer to photo for placement.
Attach the teapot to the card front using dimensionals. Adhere the three cut out flowers to the top of the teapot – I used a snail for two of the flowers and a dimensional for the top flower. See photo for placement.
Tie a small bow with a piece of White Baker’s Twine and use a glue dot to attach to the teapot near the flowers.
Inside:
Snail the remaining 5 3/8″ x 4 1/8″ piece of Whisper White cardstock to the remaining piece of Petal Pink cardstock.
Snail the 1/2″ strip of dotted Petal Pink DSP near the top of the Whisper White cardstock.
Tie a piece of White Baker’s Twine around the strip of Petal Pink DSP, making a small bow.
Using Smokey Slate ink, stamp a small flower near the top left corner of the inside card piece. Color the flower as you did for the card front. Stamp your greeting using Smokey Slate ink. For this card I used a greeting from the Forever Lovely stamp set. Use whichever greeting you prefer, or leave it blank to write your own message. Snail the completed piece to the inside of the card.
Envelope:
Decorate the envelope by using Smokey Slate ink to stamp the small flower in the lower left corner. Color the flower as you did for the card front.
I hope you enjoy making this card as much as I did designing it, and I hope it inspires you to play with the Tea Together stamp set and design something lovely as well!
