 Hello ladies. All right, I'm gonna show you some fun things with one of my very favorite sets and framelits and that's the tea together set that's in our occasions catalog and then our tea time framelits that you can get free. I've had so much fun with this set and I don't even drink tea but I love the set. All right, I'm just gonna show you a few things and give you a few pointers of some things I how I did some things. First I'm just gonna show you this card right here. Anything with a framelit makes me happy and this one really made me happy and really easy. Notice I use the pedal promenade DSP which is on celebration now but first you have to get the framelits that's number one. Then worry about the paper but first you have to get the framelits. Okay so there's one. Here's another one with the same paper. This one I use the doily framelits and put it down and used it as a stencil at the bottom. It works better than the I was playing with that lacy the laser cut paper. It's so fine I couldn't get a good stencil out of it but the the doily framelits work great for stencils. Here's another one. Here's one with the laser paper and then I just kind of rounded the cup with my bone folder you know. Okay and then I put double dimensionals in the middle so it would go stick out higher in the middle just to give it a little bit of dimension. And here's one I just kind of hung the hook on or the cup on the ribbon at the top and notice this paper right here. This is the back of this and I kind of inked it around the edges and I'll show you that in a second. Alright here is my cup of tea. Here you just pull this little thing out and all that is is folded up you know your cardstocks folded up at the bottom that's all we really did all I did on that one. And here's another one just kind of positioned a little bit different from that one. And then this one is using our little envelopes our little square 4 by 4's or whatever those are 3 by 3's whatever they are and I just put the tea inside the cup inside the little envelope. I'll tell you the thing about the if you want your things to look good you go buy your tea and then you find a color we have that matches it. It has to be color coordinated ladies you know. Alright and this one is using the little long envelopes that we have right here and oh this little cup right there it pulls out. They're just really basic simple and easy to do. Here's one with the tea cup stacked so you just have to cut the tea cup out so you cut the plate off and then I just put a slit there and stuck my little cup in and then of course use the folder at the top. And here's one where I just used I cut two teapots out and cut one up glued it on top of the other one just to give a little bit of different look. Okay and then I love this little Mrs. Pots pot Isn't that cute and all I did on that was I took my teapot and I cut my lid off. I just took the scissors and just cut like that so there's my top and then cut down here a little bit and just cut across it so it looks like this and then I just put the little baby dimensionals back there and just put my little dimensionals right on top of there. So it's a Mrs. Pots pot isn't it cute? So that was really fun and easy and then also I used the laser paper on that one too. Here's another little Mrs. Pots pot out of the foil. Okay I'm just gonna really quick show you the easy way to do did you notice most of them I just kind of put a little bit of color around the outside I didn't color it in and it's really fast that way to do it and you can use the back of your paper like this one or I like to use watercolor paper because it's very forgiving and I need things that are forgiving and I like to use the aqua painter I tried using the stamp and blends and even when I use the lightest lightest color it's just a little too dark for me and it leaves a line I want it to blend a little bit more so I like to use the aqua painters and I just use my I just use my stamp pads like this and just you want it really light because you can always go darker got that ladies you can always go darker and all I do is just kind of follow the line around just like this it's really easy for you know you don't have to be artistic anything like that it's kind of like I just want like this and you can go back and add some more color if you want it darker if it's like too light like I could go back like this I want this a little darker like that and if you're using your watercolor paper you know you can take the ink off your paper and then just blend this see if you want a softer thing and then when I do the handle I usually do the handle a little bit darker so I like it that way I love aqua painters I'm sorry I just love aqua painters they are just really fun and really easy to do and like I said you can do I can do the same thing on this one but it's not gonna be quite as forgiving because it's not you know but yeah it's not the watercolor paper so it's not quite as forgiving but you still can go down and do a little bit of blending see but if you play with regular paper too much you know what happens to it it starts beating up and peels off and looks terrible so you don't have quite as much the way when you're using the regular paper but it works it works too you just don't want to play with it too much and you know when you're doing watercolor you can mess it up it can be dark here and light here who cares it's watercolor that's not supposed to be so it doesn't have to be perfect that's what I love about it I mean you can even go over the lines and just pretend like you meant to you know even if you didn't so anyways so that's basically just what you do you just go around like that I had so much fun with this set let me tell you it was like put me down with an aqua painter and some watercolor paper and anything with the framelets and I'm happy oh I want to show you these oh yeah thanks these are you know our little boxes our little clear boxes my teabags were too big to go in there I wanted to fill it up with teabags but you might be able to find small teabags but I didn't have any so I put a little tea strainer in it for like a little gift and I just stuck them on there with glue dots guys can get any easier than that I put a little bit of DSP in the bottom and then here's one that I just did with both the pots tipped like that all right ladies
