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!

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). Direct the heat over your image and watch as your image is transformed (it will be shiny)!

The Specialty Plate is used with 3D Embossing Folders.
Measurements
- Thick Basic White cardstock: 11″ x 4-1/4″
- Petal Pink cardstock: 5-1/4″ x 4″
- Texture Chic Designer Series Paper: 4″ x 3-3/4″ place the die in the right hand corner (on the shorter side) and the opposite left bottom corner
- Basic White cardstock (sentiment): approx. 2-1/4″ x 2-1/4″
- Gold Foil (circle): approx. 2-1/2″ x 2-1/2″

Today I have four cards to share with you. After making the first card, I decided to try several different color combinations using Butterfly Kisses 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper and Stylish Shapes Dies.
For this first card, I used the Fern 3D Embossing Folder for the first layer. I layered the Butterfly Kisses Designer Series Paper with Parakeet Party cardstock (one of the new In Colors) and the squares were cut out using the Stylish Shapes Dies. The sentiment was stamped in Starry Sky ink using the stamp set, Cup of Tea and also cut out with the Stylish Shapes Dies. I used Stampin’ Dimensionals on the back of the Parakeet Party square. To complete the card, I added three Iridescent Rhinestone Basic Jewels to the front of the card and a piece of Basic White cardstock to the inside.
Bundle Alert: The Cup of Tea Bundle (currently on the Low Inventory List) includes the stamp set, Cup of Tea, and the Teacup Dies.
For this next card, I used Fresh Freesia ink for the sentiment and added three 2022-2024 In Color Matte Decorative Dots.
For the next two cards I used Fresh Freesia cardstock and Fresh Freesia ink for the sentiment. The first card was made using the Fern 3D Embossing Folder, just like the first two cards but for the second one I used the Stripes & Splatters 3D Embossing Folder. Because of the size of the embossing folder, the entire piece of cardstock isn’t embossed but I felt it looked fine if the unembossed side was over to the left. For both cards, I added three 2021-2023 In Color Opal Rounds to the front.
You can find the measurements I used below the Supply List.

I love using Designer Series Paper to create my cards and my favorite in the new catalog is Hues of Happiness. I love flowers and the colors used in this paper are so vibrant and beautiful plus you can cut many of the flowers out using the coordinating Blossoming Happiness Dies. Today’s card combines Hues of Happiness Designer Series Paper with the Tea Boutique Cards & Envelopes.
I started with one of the card bases in the Tea Boutique Cards and Envelopes Pack (you can see another card I made with a different card base here). Then I stamped the teacup in Starry Sky ink (one of the new In Colors) using the Cup of Tea stamp set and cut it out using the Teacup Dies (these two products can be purchased together in the Cup of Tea Bundle).
Next I cut two flowers and three sets of leaves out of Hues of Happiness Designer Series Paper using the Blossoming Happiness Dies. These dies can be purchased separately but the Happiness Abounds Bundle is available which includes the Happiness Abounds stamp set and Blossoming Happiness Dies. I used Multipurpose Glue to adhere the bottom flower and popped the top one up with Stampin’ Dimensionals. I tucked the leaves in around the flowers.
I stamped the sentiment in Starry Sky ink using the stamp set, Cup of Tea, and cut it out using the Layering Circles Dies. I popped it up with Stampin’ Dimensionals. To complete my card, I added three 2022 -2024 In Color Matte Decorative Dots to the front of the card.
