Here is a quick little tutorial with the measurements - thanks Connie, for this darling idea!
Step 1: Cut Blushing Bride 8 1/4" x 3 1/2" and score on the 8 1/4" side at 3/8". Stamp with Blushing Bride ink with the Mixed Bunch Stamp Set all over
Step 2: Cut to the score line as shown in picture. Add piece of Sticky Tape to the right inside as shown in picture
Step 3. Fold up and adhere to make your tea cup shape
Step 4. Punch out 2 - 2 1/2" circle in Pretty in Pink. Add Anywhere Glue (104045, page 206) to one side of each 2 1/2" circle. Adhere to bottom of cup and to inside of cup
Your Tea Cup is made
Handle
Step 5. Cut Blushing Bride piece 5" x 3/4" and score one end at 3/4". Stamp with Mixed Bunch flower
Step 6. Curl bottom end with Paper Piercing Tool and add piece of sticky strip as shown in picture
Step 7. Attach scored end over top of cup and remove sticky tape and attach to bottom creating curved handle
Step 8: Run piece of Sticky tape over 8 1/4" piece of Blushing Bride 3/8" Pleated Sain Ribbon and attach to bottom of cup.
Step 9: Punch out Paper Doily in Crumb Cake and attach to bottom of cup with Anywhere Glue Stick
Step 10: Stamp flower with Mixed Bunch on Crumb cake and punch out with Blossom Punch. Punch another flower in Blushing Bride and adhere both together. Stamp "You Suit Me to a Tea" on Blushing Bride and cut out with 1" Circle Punch. Adhere to front of above flowers and attach to cup with Dimensionals
Step 11: Stamp "Stay is a charming word in a Friend's Vocabulary Louise May Alcott" on Blushing Bride Card Stock and punch out with Extra Large Tag Punch. Cut a piece of Crumb Cake 1 1/2" x 1 3/4" and frame saying cutting of top corners to back tag punch. Adhere to tea bag and inside in cup.
I added some goodies in the bottom of the cup and then some "filler" and then the tea bag!!
You could make it for Easter and add candies, or even make some pretty paper flowers and put them in the cup with tea bags!!
A fun gift to brighten anyone's day!
