Tea's Up

Good Morning everyone from a lovely wet Cornwall.

So today im sharing the card i made for my mum for Mother's day.  I went with a tea theme this year as she does love her cup of tea!




First i made the table/table cloth using patterend paper and curved border die, cut some table legs from dark green card.  Die cut and paper pieced the cups, teapot and jug from various papers and dark green card to match the colours in the tablecloth. 
I added glitter glue accents to the flowers.  6x6" size.


This shows the dimension i added to the table cloth, and as i wanted the china to be sat on the table i used lots of glue gel,  I die cut a small spoon and fork in silver mirror card and placed on the top top. 



Again showing the table top, also as the front was quite heavy to counter balance i used the same papers to layer up for a matching insert. 

Im pleased to report mum loved it. 

Items used:  Patterned papers B&M 'springtime bouquet'
Joy crafts teapot & cups die set
Xcut 'tea party' die set
Spellbinders scalloped borders 2 (S5202)

LittleEm's Thank you cards.

 Good Morning everyone on this grey day.

So today Im sharing a batch of 'littleem's' cards, using the piece left after making 5x5 cards, apertures and curved borders (again!)




These are all approx 3.5x6" in size.  I first cut a curved edge on the front of the card, then an aperture, covered the inside with patterned paper to show through the aperture and edge.  You can have great fun with the die you use for the aperture and the patterned paper. 




Simple stamped greeting. 



And below a get well version



Umbrella die, stamped get well and floral paper, i also edged the umbrella with glitter glue on this one. 

this design is an update on the one in the link below if you fancy a peek

Thank you for looking and all your amazing comments so far. Emma
