Tea Tin of Cards - Artisan Design Team Blog Hop


The 3rd Wednesday of each month the Stampin' Up! Artisan Design Team creates projects to feature on the Stampin' Up! Facebook Page. If you are visiting the Stampin' Dolce blog for the first time ~ welcome! This is my second year as a member of this design team and I truly love to share what I create with you!



Today. this talented design team will be sharing projects on this blog hop using:
Do you not love the greetings in this stamp set? I instantly was inspired to create a stack of simple note cards.






As an avid crafter, I tend to hoard things that I am convinced can be upcyled into beautiful DIY projects. I have a closet full of empty tins, broken picture frames, old jars and other treasures.

I had an tea tin from Starbucks that was the prefect pairing for my note cards. I added a little Designer Series paper, a tag and a bow and it transformed into a fab giftable!



  



I created 16 note cards using WHISPER WHITE CARDSTOCK. Each card measures 3" x 4". (I decided on this size simply because they fit neatly inside my tin.)

With a custom card size I needed custom envelopes. Cut the BIRTHDAY BOUQUET DESIGNER SERIES PAPER to 6" x 6" and use the ENVELOPE PUNCH BOARD to create these beautiful envelopes. You will want to use FAST FUSE or TEAR & TAPE ADHESIVE to assemble the envelopes. It will give you more sticking power.



To finish the gift, I added a tag and some of the stunning POOL PARTY 3/8" GLITTER RIBBON.

I wanted to stay with the quick and easy theme so I colored the bloom with a SPONGE DAUBER using OLD OLIVE & BLUSHING BRIDE ink. The center of the flower sparkles with a touch of GOLD WINK OF STELLA GLITTER BRUSH painted on it.


I know you all are going to love this set of cards as much as I do. I will be having a class soon. Follow me on social media or my blog and watch for the announcement.
