I do like a pun, and this weekend I needed a card for my uncle's 80th Birthday and I thought of a fun way to make a card to "spell out" his age that you could apply to other ages too....
I used the new Tea Party Die-namics set from MFT to create the tea elements and stacked them to match the height of their large number 8 from the Decor and More range which I just love for big in your face milestone birthday cards.
I decorated them using the new Lined Up Dots Background stamp and embossing it in white before inking ombre style using just Blue Yonder ink for a kind of a nod to delft pottery. For the little tea bag, I used the tea bag die in the tea party set and cut it twice from vellum. I used a thin line of glue around the bottom and sides to create a little bag and once dry I added some real tea from an actual tea bag before sealing the top and adding some twine for string. Using real tea adds an extra bit of fun and a talking point for the recipient.
NEWS FROM THE STORE
It will be slightly quieter this week but we will have the following in store this week:
That's all for today - I'll see you on Tuesday!
