A few weeks ago I mailed 21 of these cards for a Swap I joined with some Stampin' Up! Demonstrators. We had to use Occasions & Sale-A-Bration Catalog products. My pre-order had arrived by then and I didn't know where to start so I grabbed products that coordinated from both catalogs. What is neat about the Tea Together stamp set is that you can earn the dies to cut out all of the images for FREE! If you place an order for $100, they're yours for FREE!
When getting set up for a swap of multiples like this one, I always try to set up production style so I can quickly get my layers and stamping done. My Stamparatus Tool came to the rescue! Want to see how? Let's start by taking a peek at this photo:
I wanted to find an easy way to stamp all of my tea pots so that the sentiment was in the same exact spot each time. Follow along and see what I did.
Step 1:
Cut a piece of scrap cardstock to measure 5-1/2" x 4-1/4". Center the teapot die and cut out the shape using the Big Shot Machine. See photo above.
Step 2:
Place both pieces of cardstock on the Stamparatus Tool. Position the sentiment where you would like to stamp it on the teapot and press the clear plate over the stamp to grab it:

Step 3:
Go ahead and stamp the image onto the teapot and make sure it's exactly where you want it. Leave the cardstock exactly where you have it positioned and in place with a magnet for a later step.

Step 4:
Prepare the teapots by stamping and cutting them with the dies. Here I stamped 21 of them on Balmy Blue Cardstock with Memento Black Ink. Once they were all cut out with the die, I then used the Light Balmy Blue Blends Marker to add highlights around the edges
Step 5:
Remove the scrap teapot die-cut from the center of the frame, leaving the frame on the Stamparatus Tool. Add a Balmy Blue teapot diecut inside the frame:
Step 6:
Ink the sentiment on the clear plate and stamp the sentiment on the teapot. Remove teapot and add the next one. Repeat for all die-cuts.
This is what my pile of yellow roses looked like before I glued them all:
And here are all of my "piles" of goodies for all cards!
The Gingham Gala Designer Paper and Calypso Coral 3/8" Satin Ribbon were both perfect to add to my card and I also used the Dot To Dot Embossing Folder for my Whisper White Cardstock layer:
If you would like to create a card just like this one, here are my layers and measurements:
- Card Base: Calypso Coral Cardstock 8-1/2" x 5-1/2". Score and fold at 4-1/4".
- Layer #2: Whisper White Cardstock 4-3/4" x 3-1/2". Emboss using the Dot To Dot Embossing Folder. Glue to card front.
- Layer #3: Gingham Gala Designer Paper 4-3/4" x 3/4". Glue to the bottom of the Whisper White Cardstock layer.
- Teapot: Stamp the teapot image using Memento Black Ink on Balmy Blue Cardstock. Cut out using the die. Highlight around the edges using the Light Balmy Blue Blends Marker. Stamp the sentiment in the center using Memento Black Ink. Glue teapot to card front and to the right.
- Rose: Stamp the rose image on Daffodil Delight Cardstock using Memento Black Ink. Color the leaves using the Light Granny Apple Green Blends Marker and highlight the flower using the Light Calypso Coral Blends Marker. Color the whole flower with Clear Wink Of Stella. Glue the rose in place using Stampin' Dimensionals, overlapping the teapot.
- Ribbon: Cut a piece ribbon to measure about 2". Trim both ends at an angle. Fold in half using a Mini Glue Dot to hold in place in the center. Tuck and glue under the rose image.
I have just a few more photos that captured the detail of my layers:
