The other week, I used the last pennies of an Amazon gift card to order this stamp-and-die set, the Tea Time set from Gemini by Crafter's Companion in the UK. This set was intriguing to me because the die comes in two parts, so that you can cut out the complete design of the teacup stack or simply cut out one side and let it serve as the edge of a card. Could I do it?
Why yes! Yes, I could.
Actually, I had a few flubs along the way. First, I colored with alcohol markers, which I absolutely love, but …
It didn't dawn on me that they would bleed through. So, alcohol markers will need to be saved for when the full design is cut out and I'm adhering it to a card in a way that the back doesn't show. Lesson learned.
So I turned to my colored pencils and went with fall tones on another card. I've had fun creating a few of these teacup stack cards so far, and I decided I would offer some as a giveaway this month, but I couldn't decide which color would be most popular. A fall palette? Pinks? Blues? And then it occurred to me …
I'll let YOU decide!

I really like that idea. I won't enter your giveaway since I won recently (can't wait to put my sweet ornament on my tea-themed tree!) but that stamp and die set is probably going on my Amazon wish list asap. (I use that wish list as my shopping list for future orders.) Thanks for letting us know about it!
