Waltzingmouse May Previews – Day 1

This month there is a lot of excitement around the Waltzingmouse Stamps Design Team.  We are all just giddy with anticipation as we share with you, over the next four days, samples using Claire’s newest sets that will be available on May 1st.  With Waltzingmouse Stamps celebrating its first birthday, we are all so happy to share with you more awesome goodness that is coming soon!

In-Hot-Water I have made these paper bag tea-bag gift card thingies before, but when I saw Claire’s new Afternoon Tea and Afternoon Tea Sentiments, I immediately knew that her stamps would be a wonderful addition to this design.  I have combined 3 of Claire’s new sets to create this project; in addition to the Afternoon Tea and Afternoon Tea Sentiments I also used images from Asian Garden and Vintage Labels 10.

The paper bags that I used for this are small and just the right size to create a wonderful presentation for a refreshing cup of tea.

Along the inside cover I have stamped an image from the Asian Garden to the Orchid cardstock and colored the pansies in a teacup with Copic markers and applied it to the inside of part of the bag that holds the teabag which was adhered onto another piece of stamps orchid cardstockIn-Hot-Water-OPENCU In-Hot-WaterBag
