***Scroll down for my Kraftin' Kimmie Hop project***
Friendship and coffee are a good blend to send greetings near and far. Torico has created a darling set to perk up the one "mug" you’ve been missing. An absolute must for those sweets and treats without all the calories!
I went for a Shabby Tea Room kind of look...damask, crochet trim, doily border, pearls, botanicals, fine china... those sort of lovelies;)
I decided to try my hand at a Criss Cross Pocket Card (you can find the tutorial here, in the SCS resources). I was inspired by Jody Morrow for this one:)
Here is a pic with the insert removed:
The 'bits and pieces' all separated:
Here is the beck, decorated, so you can write a message here as well, or if nothing else, it's pretty to look at...I have stamped my TSG signature stamp on the back.
And you can see that the smallest cup was popped up on dimensionals....
The front, when the belly band is removed and the insert is out.
Paper-pieced tea/coffee cups, with some fancy pearl accents....
And everything all put together again.
Perk Up! is a 4x8 set that includes a total of 36 stamps and will sell for $18.00.
