Tea Shoppe Easel Card

Some more retiring products to show you today.  I made an easel card using the scallop square die, punch and Tea Shoppe Stamp set.  The colour scheme is certainly celery and riding hood red, not a combination I would usually put together but I like it. I also used the simply scored borders plate (not retiring!) if you look carefully.
Here is my card:

Faux Tile Effect with Simply Scored

Hi, just thought I'd share a card I made a few weeks ago using the simply scored tool to make a tile effect. Just score a grid on your whisper white or very vanilla card stock, I think I scored every one inch, you could also use the diagonal plate for a different look.  Then stamp your image on the side where the lines are indented, it needs to be quite a big stamp I used the medallion background stamp. I then used a sponge dauber and some scrap paper to ink the edgesd of the 'tiles' but this is optional.
Here is my card.

The sentiment and little flower is from the tea shoppe stamp set. I used quite a few rhinestones for a bit of bling, I think this makes a quick stylish card.  Sorry the photo isn't brilliant it,s a quick one I made from when I did an inspiration station on the simply scored.

Stampin" Up tea shoppe

This is the other card we made at class, sorry I'm a bit late posting it, time slips by! It uses the tea shoppe stamp set from the new summer mini catalogue.  I love this stamp set and I'm sure you will be seeing a lot of it on my blog.

The colour scheme is baja breeze and blushing bride and the designer paper is it twitterpated. We used a mask to make the flowers look as if they are coming out the tea cup.  Stamp the tea cup image on your card then stamp it again on scrap paper.  Cut the tea cup out, just cutting inside the line otherwise you will get a shadow effect.  Now place the scrap tea cup over the one on your card and stamp the flowers so the stems are in the tea cup.  This is a really easy technique and great for adding dimension to your cards.  The sentiment and label stamp stamp from the set fit perfectly with the modern label punch so you can quickly punch it out. The flower is made using the boho blossom flower punch and topped with a pearl.

This is the tea shoppe stamp set, it costs £24.95 for the clear mount set and £30.95 for the wood mounted set. just contact me if you would like to purchase it.
