Now that I've made all of the formal introductions, let's get onto the projects!

My first project is super simple and only took a few minutes to put it together.  I used the large cup die to create a shaped card that opened from the top.

The front is stamped with a floral pattern in bright retro colors.  There are SO many opportunities for color combinations here since there are multiple stamps!  I added glossy accents to the centers of the flowers.

I added a strip of Pure Poppy cardstock through the middle and heat embossed it with one of the "feel better" sentiments from Keep It Simple: Get Well.

My next project demonstrates how you can adapt the large cup die to a standard A2 card.  The cup was die-cut and stamped, then added to an angled piece of Simply Chartreuse cardstock.  This was adhered around the edges with foam tape to create a dimensional pocket.

This pocket can then be inserted with a tea bag.  I dressed up the tea bag a bit by creating a custom accent for it with the coordinating tag die.  This was stamped with one of the gorgeous round senitments from the set.

The background was created with Soft Stone cardstock and stamped with Polka Dot Basics II using Fresh Snow ink.

For my last card, I created another shaped card, this time allowing it to open at the side for a different look.

The front is stamped with a vintage inspired medallion pattern in Berry Sorbet and Terracotta Tile.  The pretty "Cuppa Love" sentiment was heat embossed in White Filigree Embossing Powder.

On the interior I used the coordinating pocket die.

It's just the right size to add a little tea bag.  Again, I finished off the string for the tea bag with one of the custom tags from the set.
