Tea-rrific Card

These coffee/tea cards are addictive.  It must be the caffeine!  I am trying to prep for a class on Monday and had one lonely strip of double sided paper leftover.  Not any more!

The tea pot die cut is from IO; the sentiment stamp is CTMH.

Mother's Day tea cups

This coming Sunday is Mother's Day.  Last week I mailed off all the Mother's Day cards I had made to SAS4K.  This set of cards will be set aside for next year.  
 I have absolutely no clue where I got the tea cup stamp. 
I stamped it on 3 colors of cs, fussy cut the cups, and stacked them.    The sentiment is definitely a CTMH stamp.
The papers are from Stampin Up.
(I received several comments on the background paper on yesterday's card.  
It was part of this same paper pack.)

Tea Time Card

In a set of miscellaneous stamps, a freebie from my Cardmaking and Papercraft magazine, I noticed a simple little stamp perfect for the current Coffee Lovers Blog Hop.  
And once again, a card is born....
This fun background paper is from Stampin Up.

CTMH Spring Fling

Today was Joyce Houck's annual Spring Fling, 
a day to get together with friends, make cards, see and try out some of the products in the new CTMH catalog.  Circulating from table to table, we each made four different cards, stopped for lunch, and then made four more cards.  And there were door prizes, raffles and wonderful desserts.
Here are the cards we made:







A fun day was had by all 
except Joyce.
She was home sick! 
Thanks for a great day, Joyce.
Hope you feel better soon!

******************
I have one more card to show you today.
It's a CAS card, not my forte. 
 The stamps are CTMH.  The actual card measures 4 x 5.25 and is mounted on a 4.25 x 5.5 of brown cs.  This gives you a nice contrasting border when the card is closed and when it is open.  The little hearts on the top right are stamped and have just a drop of Liquid Glass on them to make them shine.  The scallops are a stamp, too.  I can't believe I got them straight!
