A Colorful Tea Party!

July 30, 2010 by Robin

Aloha, all!

     I am just blown away by the fabulous new colors that Stampin' Up! has provided for me (you, too!) to use this year!  And what a great way to show a group of them off than with a stack of tea cups from the New Stamp Set, Morning Cup.  When I have a tea party, I love to use all different kinds of tea cups – just makes it feel as if I've raided my grandmother's kitchen cabinets for all those odd cups from old sets of family dishes.  What memories!

Tea Cup Get Well Card

     But I digress – this stack of tea cups is what most recently brought that memory back to me – and look at those colors!  Poppy Parade, Daffodil Delight, Peach Parfait – all just so enjoying being together on one card, don't you think?  I got the idea for using this group of colors from fellow Stampin' Up! demonstrator, Connie Babbert, who does just wonderful design work.  I sketched in the colors for my card with Stampin' Write Markers, and used some sheets from the new Designer Series Paper set, Sunny Garden.  Hmmm.  Tea Party, Garden Party – well THAT all works well together!  And the papers work well with this color scheme because they included the very same new colors.  The final touch is a luscious piece of Daffodil Delight Taffeta Ribbon, and a base card of Daffodil Delight Card Stock.  I may have to go make myself a cup of mango-flavored tea and go out into my Hawaiian Garden (yes, that's a piece of it peeking out from behind the picture!) to enjoy a beautiful day.

    And there I go digressing again!  Before I go out for that cup of tea, I want to share the sketch for this card with you.  I have to tell you that I tried layering up the two layers of Designer Series Paper.  But I always ended up going back to the simplicity of just having those two complementary strips of printed paper accent each other – which I think they do nicely.  Have fun with this sketch!

Robin Messenheimer

I have been stamping and paper crafting for over 30 years, and have been an Independent Stampin' Up! Demonstrator for 14 years.

My favorite part of being a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator is teaching others to enjoy crafting themselves. Not only do I conduct classes in person, I write tutorials for teaching anyone who has internet access. No matter if you're in my area in The Villages in Florida or anywhere else in the world, let me know if there's something you'd like to learn! Read More…
