St. Patrick's Day A Nice Cuppa

This is totally a case from Maria Fennelly's video, but just had to make one to show you how beautiful this card is using A Nice Cuppa stamp set in the 2016 Occasions catalog.

• The base of the card is Mint Macaron cut at 5-1/2" x 8-1/2" and the front of the card inserted into the Woodgrain TIEF and run through the Big Shot.
• With the Big shot, cut out two Whisper White and two Cucumber Crush cups and also two of the tea kettle.  Trim off the handle and top and bottom of the Cucumber Crush cup and glue it to the white cup. For the other white cup, you will have the handle on the left.  
• For the kettle, do the same as you did for the cups, and handle will be on the left.
• Punch out an Extra Large Oval of Whisper White and a Large Oval of Cucumber Crush to represent the saucer.  Glue cup to the saucer and insert them into the Elegant Dots TIEF and run it through the Big Shot.  Attach to the bottom right side of the card. 
• Punch out 4 or 5 of the flowers from Itty Bitty Pack Punches.  With the Paper Snips, trim the leaf to represent a stem to create a shamrock. Attach to the top of the cup. Add the Gold Wink of Stella to the shamrocks.
• Attach a Doily in the top left corner and trim off excess to square with the card with Paper Snips.
• Tie a 1" Dotted Lace Trim bow to the corner of the Doily.
• Stamp with Versamark ink "Happy St. Patrick's Day" on the Botanical Gardens Vellum (SAB)
• Sprinkle Gold Embossing Powder on it and heat set with the Heat Tool.
• Use the Note Tag Punch to punch it out as well as from Cucumber Crush cardstock.  Attach vellum tag to green tag and adhere underneath the ribbon with adhesive.
• With the Big Shot, cut out a spoon from the Gold Foil. Attach to the front of the card.
• For the inside, you need to cut Whisper White cardstock at 5-1/4" x 8" and folded in the middle at 4".
• Using the Paper Trimmer, put the folded edge up to the Trimmer, and at 1-1/2" cut 1" vertically, then at 2", cut 1" vertically, then 3" at 1" vertically, then 3-1/2" and cut 1" vertically to create the slits of your pop up.  Attach the kettle on the top left side of the slit with adhesive so to appear as it is pouring.  Glue the cup to the right of the bottom slit.
• Stamp "You are Tea-riffic" in the top right corner with Cucumber Crush ink.
• Attach the pop up to the card on side at a time with adhesive making sure it will open, then glue down the other side.

A Nice Cuppa Tea Bag Holder Again

It was time to make another tea bag box holder for a friend who is convalescing in a nursing home after breaking her leg.  I wanted to take her something I made, so created this one using Wisteria Wonder card stock and using the Have a Cuppa DSP Paper Stack.  My friend was thrilled to receive this and I'm hoping she will recover soon.  She says she'll be there for a month!  I made the same style box on February 16, just different colors.

A Nice Cuppa Tea Bag Holder

This is my Cucumber Crush tea bag older made with the new set A Nice Cuppa from the 2016 Occasions catalog. I used the 2015-2017 In-Color Collection DSP in the Annual Stampin' Up! Catalog..  It holds at least four tea bags and makes a nice little gift to give to someone who really likes tea. I found this idea from a video I saw on YouTube by Angie Amore.

• The Cucumber Crush DSP is cut at 10-1/4" x 3" and scored at 3-1/4", 6-1/2" and 7".
• Fold on score lines and use the ribbon slide of Curvy Corner Trio Punch  #139683 to slide the 1/2" Whisper White Seam Binding Ribbon through to tie it together.
• Ink up the Photopolymer cup stamp from A Nice Cuppa stamp set with Cucumber Crush ink on Whisper White cardstock.  Stamp "You are Tea-Riffic in Basic Black on the front of the cup.
• Use the Cups and Kettles Framelit Dies that you can purchase as a bundle with this set to save 15% to die cut your cup with the Big Shot.
• Place Dimensionals to attach to the front of the tea bag holder and to hold the ribbon in place.

Tea Bag Box Holder

This little tea bag box holder holds about six tea bags.  It flips up to see the tea bags inside with a little message that says ""You are Tea-riffic" and it was made using the Gift Bag Punch Board.  I saw how to make the little box tea bag box holder from a video I saw made by Maria Fennelly.  I used fun foam to cut out the Cups and Kettle Framelits Dies.

• My box was made with 8-1/2" x 10" So Saffron cardstock.  I inserted it into the Gift Bag Punch Board at the Start Line. I then used the "small" but I did not use the triangle on the board, but did use the Side and do the Horizontal Line. Give a punch at each scored line for the bottom of the box.
• I used the Simply Scored Scoring Tool to finish scoring my lines since the Gift Bag Punch Board was not as long as my card stock. I also scored at 2" and 4" for the top of my box.
• I folded each scored line and used the Bone Folder to crease each one.  I did remove two top sections opposite the short end Paper Snips. I also removed the top second of the short end and cut off the bottom end of the short end. 
• I cut two of each piece of the Have a Cuppa DSP at 3" x 2-1/2", 3" x 1-3/4", 2-1.2" x 1-3/4" and 1-3/4" square and attached with adhesive.
• I cut out the tea kettle and cup after adhering the DSP to fun foam with adhesive.  
• The flowers are from the Bloomin' Love stamped with Melon Mambo and with a It's My Party Enamel Dot for the center and for the top of the tea kettle lid.
• The little tea bag was stamped with Basic Black ink on Whisper White and attached with White Baker's Twine.
• For the inside:  Stamp the "You are Tea-rrific" on Whisper White with Basic Black and punch out with Oval Punch.  Adhere to a Melon Mambo Scallop Oval.  Attach with Dimensionals
