Today’s card was created using the Tea Boutique Cards & Envelopes and the Cup of Tea Bundle which includes the Cup of Tea stamp set and Teacup Dies.
I started with one of the Tahitian Tide card bases included in the Tea Boutique Cards & Envelopes. Then I used the Scalloped Contours Dies to cut a scalloped rectangle out of Basic White cardstock. I stamped the sentiment in Sweet Sorbet ink using the stamp set, Cup of Tea, towards the bottom of the scalloped rectangle so I’d have plenty of room for the teacup and greenery.
I used the Teacup Dies to cut a teacup out of Sweet Sorbet Designer Series Paper found in the 2022-2024 In Color 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper Assortment pack. Before adhering it to the front of the card, I stamped the greenery using Granny Apple Green ink and for the flowers, Sweet Sorbet ink.
To complete my card, I added three Fine Sparkle Gems around the teacup. I love the decorative envelopes that are included with the card bases!

Today’s card was created using Texture Chic Specialty Designer Series Paper and the stamp set, Speedy Recovery (this stamp set will be on sale Thursday). I also did some embossing which always takes a card up a notch!
I started with a piece of Petal Pink cardstock for the base of my card. Then I cut two pieces of Texture Chic Designer Series Paper and a piece of Petal Pink cardstock, all the same size (you can find the measurements below the Supply List). I placed the Petal Pink inside the Timber 3D Embossing Folder and ran it through the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine. Next, I adhered all three pieces to a piece of Basic White cardstock and then adhered that piece to the front of the card.
I stamped the sentiment onto a piece of Basic White cardstock using Versamark ink and the stamp set, Speedy Recovery. I sprinkled gold embossing powder over the sentiment and then heat embossed it (you can find directions for heat embossing below). I cut the sentiment out using the Stylish Shapes Dies. I used the Painted Labels Dies to cut the decorative circle out of Gold Foil and then adhered the sentiment to the front. I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it to the card front.
To complete my card, I added three Festive Pearls, in gold, to the front.
How to Heat Emboss
Prepare your cardstock by rubbing the Embossing Buddy (an anti-static pouch that can be found in the Embossing Additions Tool Kit) over the surface of the paper as it helps keep away stray particles of embossing powder. Stamp your sentiment or image using a Versamark pad. This is very sticky ink and your embossing powder will stick right to it. Sprinkle embossing powder over the stamped image and then shake off any excess. Before applying heat to your paper, heat the Heat Tool first so your paper won’t warp (about 10 seconds). Direct the heat over your image and watch as your image is transformed (it will be shiny)!

Today I have another treat holder to share with you today that was made using the Stampin’ Up! Fresh Cut Flowers Bundle and the Mini Pocket Envelope Dies. The Fresh Cut Flowers Bundle includes the stamp set, Fresh Cut Flowers and the Fresh Cut Stems Dies. During the month of September (or while supplies last) you can purchase the Fresh Cut Stems Dies or if you don’t have the stamp set, the bundle is available with a savings of 10%. This bundle is part of the Perfect Partners Promotion. Six current stamp sets have coordinating dies that will only be available this month!
I used the the envelope die in the Mini Pocket Envelope Dies to cut a piece of Gingham Cottage Designer Series Paper. Then I folded on all the score lines and added Mini Glue Dots to the side and bottom tabs BUT I would recommend using Tear & Tape or Multipurpose Glue. When I made the one I shared last week (you can see it here), I added Baker’s Twine and I noticed no puckering. When I made this one, I did notice puckering. I could have added more Mini Glue Dots but next time, I’ll just use Tear & Tape.
Next, I stamped the flowers from the stamp set, Fresh Cut Flowers, onto a piece of Basic White cardstock using Memento Ink. Then I colored the flowers using my Stampin’ Blends: Fresh Freesia (Light and Dark), Old Olive (Light and Dark) and So Saffron (Dark). I cut the flowers out using the Fresh Cut Stems Dies, added adhesive to the back and adhered it to the mini envelope.
I stamped the sentiment onto Basic White cardstock using Fresh Freesia ink and the stamp set, Soft Seedlings. I cut the sentiment out using one of the dies in the Mini Pocket Envelope Dies, added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it to the mini envelope.

Last week I featured the Basic Borders Dies and I couldn’t help but play with them again using Texture Chic Designer Series Paper. I have two cards to share with you.
I started with a piece of Thick Basic White cardstock for the base of my card. Before adhering it to the front of the card, I placed a piece of Petal Pink cardstock (you can find the measurements I used below the Supply List) inside the Timeworn Type 3D Embossing Folder and ran it through the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine. I like using bright colors and Petal Pink isn’t one of my favorites but I have to say I love it with this paper!
I used the Basic Borders Dies to cut a piece of Texture Chic Designer Series Paper and then adhered it to the front of the card. Next, I heat embossed the sentiment onto Basic White cardstock using gold embossing powder (found in a set called Metallics Embossing Powders), Versamark ink and the stamp set, Cup of Tea. If you’ve never heat embossed before (you’ll love it and it’s easy), you can find the directions below. I cut the sentiment out using the Stylish Shapes Dies and then cut another larger stitched circle out of Gold Foil. I adhered the sentiment to the foil circle, added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it to the card.
To complete my card, I added three Festive Pearls to the front of the card. These pearls have been on backorder but are now back in stock!
Here’s one more card I made and although you might think it’s the same card, the design of the paper is different.
How to Heat Emboss
Prepare your cardstock by rubbing the Embossing Buddy (an anti-static pouch that can be found in the Embossing Additions Tool Kit) over the surface of the paper as it helps keep away stray particles of embossing powder. Stamp your sentiment or image using a Versamark pad. This is very sticky ink and your embossing powder will stick right to it. Sprinkle embossing powder over the stamped image and then shake off any excess. Before applying heat to your paper, heat the Heat Tool first so your paper won’t warp (about 10 seconds).

Today I’m sharing a treat holder I made using the Stampin’ Up! Mini Pocket Envelope Dies. If you need little treat holders, these dies make it easy to create them really fast! Since school has started up again, my mind went to teacher treats. I was an elementary teacher for 22 years and it’s hard not to think about the beginning of a new school year. I have a Ghirardelli chocolate inside and what teacher wouldn’t enjoy one after school? Yes, please!!
I made my Pocket Envelope using Gingham Cottage Designer Series Paper and the Mini Pocket Envelope die. After cutting it out, I folded along all the score lines and then added Mini Glue Dots along two of the edges and assembled the envelope. Really easy!
Next, I used the Apple Harvest Bundle to stamp the apple in Memento ink onto Basic White cardstock and cut it out using the Apple Blossoms Dies. Before cutting it out, I colored it using Real Red, Granny Apple Green and Crumb Cake Stampin’ Blends. I added my chocolate to the envelope and then wrapped White Baker’s Twine around the envelope three times and tied it off in the center of the envelope. I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the apple and placed it on the envelope.
The Apple Harvest Bundle includes the Apple Harvest stamp set and the Apple Blossoms Dies. This bundle is part of the Perfect Partners Promotion. The stamp set can be found in the Annual Catalog but the dies (and bundle) are only available until September 30 or while supplies last. To download the flyer for this promotion, click here (there are two pages).
I stamped the sentiment in Memento ink onto Basic White cardstock using the stamp set, Lovely You. I cut it out with the Playful Piggy Dies (another set of dies in the Perfect Partners promotion and only available until September 30th or while supplies last) and adhered it to the envelope.
