You're My Cup of Tea Card

I'm a tea drinker and so I created this "You're My Cup of Tea" Card. My fav tea is Luzianne Decaf tea.  The hard part is finding the individual tea bags in the decaf variety. A lot of stores sell the regular Luzianne Tea but only one store here sells the Decaf. There use to be nan English breakfast tea made by a company in PA that I liked but I do not believe it is made anymore.

Used a new set of dies & stamps, Die-namics Always Time for Tea, that I bought at overstock.com.

Used DCWV Nana's Kitchen Matstack patterned cardstock that has glitter on it. Used Stampin' Up Bitty Banners for sentiment tag. Stamped sentiment "You're My Cup of Tea." Embossed the top portion of the green layer with Cuttlebug D'vine Swirl for a steam swirl look. Added some pearls.

    1. I know another person called me Michelle and was confusing me with a blog site that had a similar name. My name is not Michelle; my name is Melissa. Glad you were able to get to my blog & become a follower. I drink Luzianne Decaf Tea.

  6. Does anyone know why blogger is acting up. I cannot get to 2 blogs: Crafting Sentiments & Craft Your Passion. When I type in those 2 site names it does not bring up much of anything of the blog (some top line info ) and nothing else). Not seeing this happen for other blogs only these 2. Also, noticed blogger is very slow in loading up spome blog sites.
