The new catalogue is out and there are some lovely products in it. One of my favourites is the Tea Boutique suite, which includes the Cup of Tea bundle of stamp set and teacup dies, Tea Boutique DSP and the Tea Boutique cards and envelopes.
I couldn’t wait to make some cards and gifts with this set, so here they are! You can see all I’ve made on my Craftalong video. There are separate accompanying videos for the double flap card and the tea bag gift pouch.
These cards use the Cup of Tea stamp sets and dies, other suite products and the new In Color and Tea suite DSP
There are two separate videos available soon on how to make the double flap card and how to make the tea gift pouch.
Don’t forget to decorate the insides of the cards and decorate your envelopes (where you need to!)
