A Spot of Tea Anyone? by Carol Hintermeier

Hello Ai Fans!

I have this sweet card today that uses the Tea Time PopCard set.  The stamps in this set are so beautiful and could be used on a card for many different occasions.

The images were stamped with a Copic safe ink and colored with my Copics (colors listed below.)  All of the dies that you need are included in the set.  You do need the PopCard Template die that is sold separately. Also, all the directions to assemble this card are on the back of the packaging.  If, however, you are a bit more of a visual learner like I am, I found a video on Scrapbook.com's YouTube channel that Kate did that shows all of the steps and is so helpful.

For my inspiration in coloring, I did a web search of "china tea sets" and saw so many beautiful sets!  Almost all have some gold edges.  You can see the shine of gold where I used a gold gel pen to go over some stamped lines and I drew in a few more lines.  I used a white gel pen to add some highlights to the teapot and cups.

If you are wondering about the beautiful gold on the card front, I used the new Foil Quill Heat Pen by We R Memory Keepers.  The design is from Cricut's Design Space.  Those that know me well, know I do love the latest gadgets!  LOL!  I used two of the Double Stitched Rectangle dies to create a frame for the card front.  I cut it twice and adhered the two together for a bit of dimension.  These two butterflies are also part of the set so I added them to embellish the card front.

This card was so much fun to make and I hope you will give a PopCard a try!  Thanks so much for stopping by and have a fabulous crafty week!

Tea Time Bunnies!

Happy Easter Weekend Ai Fans!

For today's post I'm sharing with you my last Easter card for the year! When I saw these 2 bunnies I absolutely fell in love with them! There is something magical about dressing up and having a tea party when you are little. I'd even like to do it now LOL! The image I used is called Tea Time (sku#4114).

This time I stamped my image using Memento ink but in the colour London Fog instead of Tuxedo Black. It's a little softer around the edges. Not sure I am totally in love with it but I wanted to try this after seeing a few posts that used this colour instead. For this card I decided to go try a gate fold card. This paper is by Docraft and is called "Tea Party". Perfect to go with these images. I've had it in my stash for a while now just waiting for the perfect card to use it on.

On the inside I used the sentiment called "Basketful" (sku#4014)

Copics used:

Bunny: E41, E43, E44, R02

Green parts:YG11, YG13

Pinky red parts: R20, R21, R22

Purple parts: Rv91, RV93, RV95, RV99

Yellow parts: Y13, Y15, Y17

Tea cups: B000, B01

Table: T1
