New Annual Catalog Launch Open House

It was awesome to hold my Tea Party and Open House Catalog Launch event over the weekend after two years of doing it in my garage due to pandemic restrictions. 

I love spoiling my customers a bit by giving a brand new Annual Catalog, two Make and Takes, a goodie bag, and refreshments all for FREE! It is my way to say I appreciate you as my customer and to thank them for their previous purchases. 

Each catalog included a Bookmark and Wish List.

The bookmarks contained the five new In Colors for 2022-24. 

Combined the new ink and cardstock in each color.

Here's the Goody Bag each attendee received. A teacup treat box and a pack of new embellishments.

Here's what was inside of the teacup treat box. Tea, Chocolate and Biscuits!

Those three items fit perfectly inside of the "matchbox."

Here's one of the Make and Takes using the Tea Boutique Cards and Envelopes and the coordinating Cup of Tea Stamp Set, Tea Boutique 6" x 6" Designer Series Paper, Rectangular Postage Stamp Punch, Sweet Sorbet Ink, and Starry Night Woven Metallic Ribbon,

The other Make and Take used the Tea Boutique Cards and Envelopes and the coordinating Cup of Tea Stamp Set, Tea Boutique 6" x 6" Designer Series Paper, 1-3/4" Circle Punch, Granny Apple Green Ink, Brushed Brass Butterflies, and Starry Night Woven Metallic Ribbon. The Tea Pots were fussy cut out ahead of time.

The ladies loved the Make and Takes!

A small display of cards from the Tea Boutique Suite, Hues of Happiness Suite and the Good Feelings Stamp Set. Other stamp sets I purchased on Pre Order were also on display.

My refreshments were Sweet Tea to drink, mini Cranberry and Orange muffins with orange glaze, Lemon pudding cake slices, honey roasted peanuts, and butter mints. The ladies loved the selection.

Maybe next year I can spoil you too!

Have a lovely day being creative!

Tea Boutique Suite and the Ladybug Punch

Did you think about CASEing yesterday's vertical scrappy card layout? Here's a horizontal stripe layout with a little more pizzazz that you can CASE too. The addition of the greeting stamped in Orchid Oasis on a Basic White scrap, die-cut out with the Stitched Rectangles, and backed with Tahitian Tide cardstock does wonders for this card. 

I love the look of a scrappy, strip technique. They are so easy to do! These strips were 1/2" and 3/4" arranged in an even stripe pattern with minimal spacing between each piece. This stripe technique can be done with any coordinating Designer Series Paper you have on a coordinating cardbase.

The Lady Bug Punch is still the fun accent on this card made with two of the new In Colors - Sweet Sorbet and Orchid Oasis. The Ladybug is raised up on Dimensionals along with the rectangular greeting.

The wait won't be much longer for you to be able to order these darling products. May 3, 2022 is when the new 2022-23 Annual Catalog goes live and these products will be available in my online store.

Ladybug Punch Paired with Scrappy Tea Boutique Papers So Fun!

Ok, I admit it, I can't stop creating with the Tea Boutique Suite! Today and tomorrow you'll have a couple more card designs you can CASE (copy and share everything.) The Lady Bug Punch is the fun accent on this card made with two of the new In Colors - Sweet Sorbet and Orchid Oasis. 

I love the look of a scrappy, strip technique. They are so easy to do! These strips were 1/2" and 3/4" arranged in an uneven pattern. Using the Ladybug Builder Punch made for a fast accent raised up on Dimensionals. This scrappy technique can be done with any coordinating Designer Series Paper you have on a coordinating cardstock base.

The sentiment is stamped in Memento Tuxedo Black Ink on the actual card base. Make sure to hold the stamp in place a few seconds to allow the ink to absorb into the cardstock.

The wait won't be much longer for you to be able to order these darling products. May 3, 2022 is when the new 2022-23 Annual Catalog goes live and these products will be available in my online store.

Notice in the photo below how great the Classic Matte Dots work for the ladybug spots. A little touch of black on a card helps things "POP".
