Hi there sweet and crafty friends! It’s Wanda here! Today is my turn on The Greetery Blog! (And of course here too!) Hope you’re having a wonderful Summer and enjoyed a fun 4th of July holiday! We had such a nice long holiday weekend. Lots of time at home, great church, fireworks, hamburgers… It was all good. And, now the year is half over!!
To share with you today, I made a sweet Summer tea party card! I used a fresh color palette that inspired me from an Instagram post with some cool graphic art. I am always inspired by color palettes! These happy teacups are perfect for a “just because” card. I love the blues together with that pop of orange and stripes for good measure.
My finished card is a cream A2 card base, layered with blue and white stripes, then a cream layer to feature the teacups. I used the Sips Tea Dies set to die cut three teacups. I gently inked the edges of the cups with darker blue ink. I also splattered on some white paint. I used the Lemon Blossom Die set to die cut two oranges and two leaf clusters. I inked and splattered those too. On the cream panel I used just a small portion of the Flourished Phrases Merry Stencil to add a little flourish to that top left corner. I used the small flowers from the Sweetest Corners Stamp Set to add flowers to two of the cups. Be sure to look at your stamp and supplies in new ways!!

The sentiment was stamped in black ink onto cream cardstock. I used the Sign Off Sentiments stamps and matching dies for the sentiment. I stacked the teacups and affixed them to the card with foam tape. Then I tucked in those little sweet oranges under the stack. (My favorite tea is the Good Earth Sweet and Spicy tea which has orange on the package!) What is your favorite tea? A few tiny orange hearts complete my card.
