Teacup Tea Holder for My Sheri Crafts

This week's theme at My Sheri Crafts is "Warm Wishes", basically anything to keep warm in this cold wintry months--hot cocoa, warm soups, baked goods, and in my case, a favorite brand of tea to share with a friend.

I used a 5"x7" blank piece of card as my base. The papers are from DCWV's Linen Closet and Martha Stewart. I used an eyelet border punch from Martha Stewart to mimic a tablecloth. The alpha stickers are from Webster's Pages, and the die cut for the background was made using a Spellbinder's die. I used a border embossing folder from Cuttlebug to add dimension to the extra space beside the word "enjoy". The teapot was cut at 3" and the teacup which was cut at 1 1/2" were images cut using the Cricut cartridge A Child's Year.
The teacup on the inside page was cut at 3", and it's the perfect size to hold a packet. A gift card could also fit in the space. I glued down the saucer and pop-dotted the teacup to make a pocket for the packet (pun intended). :-) I used a Viva Decor Pearl pen to add swirls and pearl dots on both the cover and inside page.
