Tea Party for The Paper Players

It’s Sunday and time to play with The Paper Players. This week, the talented Nance Leedy has an adorable sketch for us.  I decided to pair the new Tea Party stamp set with the delightful Plaid Pattern from the Birthday Basics Designer Series Paper Collection.  I hope you enjoy today’s card.

The Stampin’ Schach Design Tips
This finished card measures 5-1/2″ wide x 4-1/4″ long.

  • Deco delight! The new Deco Label Framelits provide the perfect canvas for a Raspberry Ripple Pitcher with Flowers from the Tea Party stamp set. Of course, every flower deserves the perfect Pearl center!
  • Button basics! A Raspberry Ripple Hexagon anchors one of the new Very Vintage Designer Buttons.  
  • Doily and banner! A Tea Lace Paper Doily provides a quick and easy backdrop to the So Grateful banner.  This sentiment, from the Apothecary Art set, was stamped in Raspberry Ripple.

Little Lexi Wins Big

Saturday found little Lexi and I in sweltering Iowa City for the Hawkeye Kennel Club dog show, Day #1.  And who should emerge victorious? Why, luscious Lexi herself.  Lexi garnered the Winners female title, and took her place right behind the Best of Breed winner, having been named the Best of Opposites.  Woo hoo, Lexi Lou!


I hope you enjoyed today’s card.  Won’t you let me know in your comment?  And remember, if you have any questions about the cards I create or the techniques I use, I am only an email away!  Until next time…
