Tea For Two

Well, it's snowing again here...

cold and very dreary....

what better way to let it not get to me then to be in my creative room...

This week at The Shabby Tea Room the challenge is "warm and cozy"

using the inspiration photo and the colors white/cream and teapots and/or cups!

I have a love for any tea/coffee dies and stamps...

have a nice "hoarders" collection of them...

the "almost" hardest part of the challenge was choosing which one to use!!

and I wish you could see  this is person...all the cups, teapots and banner

pieces are "popped" up....so cute and is much more delicate then it shows!!

Just before Christmas, Cottage Cutz had all their dies at half off.....

I have had this die on my wish list for sometime....

the super adorable teapot and cup border die.....

I first cut out a base and then 8 more times with various DS paper to piece!

I topped each little creamer and pot with a pearl for the lid..

I added pretty cream roses trim, a paper bow  and a tiny "tea 4 2 banner" ...

I couldn't decide if I wanted to use the border die in all it's length or cut it in half

...

I left it as is, but now have another one in mind for cutting in half...that will come later,

I am making this a fast post, as my hands are so cold it's hard to type!!
