I am still playing with my new set called Tea Shoppe from the Stampin' Up!™ Occasions Mini. The colors are Baja Breeze, Rich Razzleberry and Blushing Bride. The ribbon is Baja Breeze seam binding that I ruffled by pulling a thread from the middle of the ribbon. I love the look of the ruffled ribbon but I have to say it was not the easiest thing I have ever done; I kept losing the little thread. Ugh! The sentiment is from a Stampin' Up! hostess set called Happiest Birthday Wishes. I cut the stamped teacups out and attached them with dimensionals (love those things!).
How about another cup of tea? This time I stamped the tea cup with Riding Hood Red on Whisper White and used Gold Lame' Smooch Pearlized Accent Ink™ for the gold trim. The paper is Twitterpated from Stampin' Up! Occasions Mini. Card base is Island Indigo.
We
are having the craziest weather this winter. I am not really complaining
'cause we've had very little snow or ice. However, Monday it was 67 and
then Tuesday night it was 18 degrees. What a difference
a day makes huh? So how's your winter????
As soon as I saw this set in the Stampin' Up!™ Occasions Mini I knew I had to have it as well as the Paper Doily Sizzlets die-perfect combo! I stamped the tea cup with White Craft Ink onto Island Indigo paper and cut it out. The card base is Riding Hood Red. The Designer Series Paper is Twitterpated (ok isn't that a cool name?). I trimmed the doily to make it fit the card.
The Paper Doily Sizzlet is awesome. I did learn a little trick from my fellow 
demonstrators. To make it easier to remove the doily and to keep all the little
pieces from sticking in the die; first
stick packing tape or clear contact
paper over the die. Run through the
Big Shot with a piece of copy paper.
The tape/contact paper will stay on
the die and most of the little pieces will not be stuck in the die.
