STAMPIN' PRETTY TIPS:
-
SNEAK PEEK ALERT! I used the Tea Shoppe rubber stamp set for my "thank you" card. The stamps will be available January 4, 2012 in the Stampin' Up! Occasions Mini Catalog. - The big tea cup was heat embossed in white for a "fancy china" finish!
- The Holly Berry Bouquet Designer Buttons (Wild Wasabi) are a delightful stand-in for steam rising from the cup. A touch of Baker's Twine makes them look stitched.
- I layered the sentiment with three punches and added the sophisticated touch of pearls!

Hi Betsy: The tea cup is from Tea Shoppe rubber stamp set and will be available in the Occasions Mini Catalog Jan. 4. It is not a die . . . but was easy to snip out! Hugs, M
Maybe I missed it—is the tea cup a die? I really like it!!!
Great card! I love the way you layered the sentiment, and the steam buttons are a cute touch!
Dear Mary,
I absolutely love the clever use of the buttons for the hot steam ! The teacup is divine and already on my wish list. Great card. 🙂
