Thank You Nordic Tea Cup

Hi Crafty Friends,
I have an elegant cup of tea for you today from Poppy Stamps NEW Spring Release. This is the Poppy Stamps Nordic Cozy Tea Cup Die with Poppy Stamps Thank You Tender Script Die. It's perfect for a Mother's Day Card, Thank You Card or Sympathy Card.

Make Crafty Friends Q & A:
Q: What would you put in this cup?
A: Me? Jasmine Pearl Loose Leaf Green Tea

Step #1: I started my card by cutting the Nordic Cozy Tea Cup layers from purple and gold cardstock. I glued the layers together to make the elegant cup.

Step #2: I die cut a gold and purple pattern paper with Poppy Stamps Scalloped Pinpoint Frames Die 2751 center and the scallop frame part out of gold cardstock, then I mounted them on a white card base.

Step #3: I die cut the Poppy Stamps Thank You Tender Script out of matching purple and gold cardstock and glued the gold script to the purple shadow.

Step #4: I finished my card by mounting the tea cup and thank you in the center, adding the steam and the sentiment "You are Amazing" from the Poppy Stamps Sentimental Banners Stamp and Die Set. 

 

Supplies:

2751 Scalloped Pinpoint Frames
