Tea Time Card with Nancy Nickel

Hello, everyone! 
It's Nancy here with a fun new project share!

I've combined the Large Tags, 
and some pieces from the Tea Time Set.

Here's my card:

My card is an A2 size. 

Here's a look at the pieces before I got started. 

The tag measures 4 1/2" x 3".

The Tea Time set has lots of elements. 

I used the "Tea Time" and one cup with saucer.

I made my card base from white cardstock, and covered it with a striped paper.

The I covered the tag with the pretty floral paper.

I added a white ribbon to the top of the tag,

and adhered the tag in place on the card base.

I then inked the chipboard pieces; first with yellow ink, and then with embossing ink.

I sprinkled everything with clear embossing powder, and heat set it.

I added a little piece of doily to the bottom of the tag,

and then adhered the chipboard pieces in place on the tag.

Here you can see how shiny the pieces are

with the floral design showing through nicely!

Finally, I added a few white sequins to the tag.

This would be such a fun card to send to a friend,

inviting her over for tea!

Keep Calm Card with Emma Ivemey

Hello crafty friends! Today I would like to share a fun card I made with the help of Southern Ridge Trading Co.

Us English people have a love-hate relationship with football (soccer), which has been going on for quite a while. Every four years, there is a World Cup competition, and it tends to make us all go a bit crazy for a few weeks. Usually our team plays badly, and goes home in some sort of disgrace. This year however, we actually did get through to the semi-final. We lost, but it was still a huge improvement on previous years.

With this in mind, I decided to use the Southern Ridge Trading Co “Tea Time” set to make a “Keep Calm” card. We may have lost the football, but at least we still have tea!

I used Tonic Studios Nuvo Drops in bright white on the milk jug, which gives it a ceramic look. (Allow to dry overnight for best results!) The teapot and teacup have been painted white and decoupaged with chintz-style patterned paper to remind us of those happy days when tea was always served from pots.

I guess we’ll have to wait another four years for another shot at the World Cup, but in the meantime, we’ll just have a cup of tea and everything will be right with the world.
