heARTful Teacups

 Valentine's Day is definitely on my mind lately and I like to send out a few Valentines whether they're cards, tags , or ATCs. This year I chose to use a tea cup shape to make simply sweet Valentines. Here are the first three I made today. The template is one I found when I googled tea cup templates. They are approx. 4 1/8" at the widest part and 3 1/4 " in length.









 The beautiful vintage faces are from Paper Whimsy , the words and German dresden borders are from ARTchix Studio, Ranger Vintage Photo Distress Ink  was sponged on edges, glitter felt heart stickers were purchased at a $ store.

  Here's another Valentine card too:

 

  Products: pale blue, white card stock, patterned paper (Paper Studio); vintage image; banner (ARtchix Studio); white organza ribbon (Hobby Lobby); felt heart (Martha Stewart); Grand Calibur die cut machine and Floral Doily Motifs die (Spellbinders).

 Please join me at T Stands for Tuesday with Elizabeth and Bleubeard and Inspiration Avenue (whose theme this week is "Hearts and Flowers".

    These are fabulous tea cups. I was really impressed with the tea tags. Your attention to detail showed through in all the cups. Of course, the card was beautiful, too. I'd be hard pressed to pick a favorite.

    Thanks for joining T(ea) this week.

    The tea cups are so clever. They stand out from the usual type of Valentine. I'm sure they will make someone happy.

    Sorry I'm so late for Tea, but had to recharge my batteries in order to make the rounds of T-day players and WOYWW players today.

    Your tea cups are sensational, and such a clever idea.
