Stacked Teacups

“It’s a Tea Party” was the theme of the June card class and the Tea Boutique Suite was perfect for creating cards to fit the theme.  One of the cards, stacked teacups, is cut using the Teacup Dies from the Cup of Tea bundle.  The Tea Boutique Designer Series Paper inspired the color selection for the card base and layering panel.  The combination of  the 2022-2024 In Colors, Parakeet Party and Starry Sky, makes a stunning card.  To add additional textural interest, the Starry Sky layering panel is texture embossed using the Gingham Embossing Folder. You can find a list of materials and an assembly video below.

Focus on Sweet Sorbet In Color

This month, the Simple Suite Stampers Creative Team is focusing on the new 2022-2024 In Colors and the Tea Boutique Designer Series Paper. These products are in the Stampin’ Up! 2022-2023 Annual Catalog which launched in May. The creative team consists of twelve Stampin’ Up! demonstrators from across the United States and I am honored to be a member of the group. Each month, we create a project focusing on a particular suite of products. We strive to keep the projects simple so you can complete beautiful projects in a short time frame. 

For my June project,  I chose to focus on the Sweet Sorbet In Color.  The floral background panel and the small floral panel are from the Tea Boutique Designer Series Paper.  Don’t you love that Stampin’ Up! coordinates the inks, cardstocks & designer series papers? I do! It makes designing projects so much easier!!!

To make it easy for you, a tutorial consisting of the twelve projects has been created.
