Time for Tea

This was another series of cards that I put in the gift for my Aunt as she is a huge tea lover.  When she opened them she called me to say that this stamp set alone might get her interested in making cards!! Yahoo another one possibly converted.  I am not sure of the stamp set and die cut used as I borrowed it from Lisa but all the paper's are Stampin' Up along with the ink and ribbons.

Gift for my Aunt

The above cards are using Elements of Style stamp set and all Stampin' Up supplies. 

This will be a few posts under the same heading....I did up a box of cards for my Aunt as a Christmas gift.    There was a wide selection of cards for different events.

Snowflake Card

I just love how this snowflake card turned out.  It measures 5-1/2 x 5-1/2.  I don't usually make cards this big but this one seemed to work.

Recipe:

~ all Stampin' Up card stock (night of navy, bashful blue, and white)

~ the snowflake is a die cut but I used the wood sheet material by Stampin' Up

~ inked snowflake then added dazzling diamonds also by Stampin' Up to give the sparkle

~ the sentiment is embossed in a Zing color - gun metal

~ large silver brad in the middle of the snowflake

Enjoy, Cheers,
