Just Because Card - Teacups


This adorable teacup stamp and doily embossing folder came with the Quick Cards Made Easy magazine back in the June issue and they go together so beautifully.


I inked the inside of the embossing folder with "Tattered Rose" Distress ink before embossing the cardstock.  That is how I got the effect of the light pink background with white doilies.  I will be sharing that technique in "Distress Ink Techniques Part 4"  later this month on my YouTube channel jjgz4ever and it will also be on Scrapbook Blessings Club .

 I had that corner piece that was a leftover scrap and it fit perfectly so I had to use it.  I stamped the teacups on glossy cardstock and colored them with Spectrum Noir markers and then cut them out and used foam tape to adhere them to the card.  For fun I added sequins to make it appear that tea is spilling out of the tilted teacup.  On the side I embossed a strip of white cardstock and attached ribbon and a bow to it and attached that to the card.  It all came together perfectly.

HAPPY CRAFTING!!!

    Gorgeous tea card! I got that same set in a card making magazine, but I never thought to put the ink on the inside of the embossing folder! Great idea and looks amazing!

      Hi Lisa....yes it is an awesome embossing folder and works great with the Distress Ink technique. It is called "Time For Tea" from Quick Cards Made Easy and designed by Jenny Ellory. The embossing folder and teacup stamp set came with the magazine as a set. Thank you so much for your sweet comments :) Hugs...Janie
