Cut cardstock and designer paper pieces to the following sizes using a Paper Trimmer:

- 4" x 5-1/4" from cardstock (I used Sweet Sorbet, Parakeet Party, Starry Sky, Orchid Oasis, Crumb Cake, Garden Green, Petal Pink, and Basic White)
- 3-3/4" x 5" of choice of design from Tea Boutique 6" x 6" Designer Series Paper, if there is a pattern with a definite direction, cut so the pattern is correct on the horizontal rectangle
- 3-1/8" x 4-1/8" from cardstock (I used Sweet Sorbet, Parakeet Party, Tahitian Tide, Starry Sky, Orchid Oasis, and Crumb Cake)
- 3" x 4" from Basic White Cardstock
- 1-3/4" x 2-1/2" from cardstock (I used Sweet Sorbet, Parakeet Party, Tahitian Tide, Orchid Oasis, Fresh Freesia, Crumb Cake, Petal Pink, and Basic White)
- 3/4" x 4" of choice of design from Tea Boutique 6" x 6" Designer Series Paper, if there is a pattern with a definite direction, cut so the pattern is correct on the horizontal rectangle, you can use the same or a coordinating pattern
- 1" square from Basic White Cardstock
Adhere the large rectangle of Tea Boutique Designer Paper to the 4" x 5-1/2" piece of cardstock. Then, adhere it to the card front.
As you are ready to stamp using the Cup Of Tea Set, place the cardstock on the Stampin' Pierce Mat. Using the mat will help you get a cleaner image each time you stamp.
Mount the bunch of stems with tiny leaves image from the Cup Of Tea Set on Block D. Ink it up with the Parakeet Party Ink Pad. Stamp it on the top of the horizontal 3" x 4" white rectangle so the top of the leaves almost touch the top edge and the right edge of the leaves are about 5/8" from the right edge.
Mount the "thank you" or "Let's get together soon" sentiment from the Cup Of Tea Set on Block B. Ink it up with the Ink Pad of choice (I used Sweet Sorbet, Parakeet Party, Starry Sky, or Orchid Oasis). Stamp it on the left side of the horizontal 3" x 4" white rectangle at a slight angle so the bottom of the sentiment is at least 1" from the bottom edge and it is just to the left of the stamped leaves.
Adhere the thin strip of Tea Boutique Designer Paper to the bottom of the stamped 3" x 4" white rectangle so the left, bottom, and right sides are even.
Adhere the stamped white rectangle with designer paper attached to the center of the 3-1/8" x 4-1/8" rectangle of cardstock.
Adhere the stamped and matted white rectangle to the center of the card front.
Mount the striped cup image from the Cup Of Tea Set on Block D. Ink it up with the Ink Pad of choice (I used Sweet Sorbet, Parakeet Party, Tahitian Tide, Starry Sky, and Orchid Oasis). Stamp it on the 1-3/4" x 2-1/2" rectangle.
Pick out the matching, open tea cup die from the Teacup Dies. Put it on top of the stamped cup image on a platform on your Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine so the image is centered in the die. Run through the machine.
Mount the tiny tea bag tag with leaves image from the Cup Of Tea Set on Block A. Ink it up with the Ink Pad of choice (I used Sweet Sorbet, Parakeet Party, Starry Sky, and Orchid Oasis). Stamp it in the center of the small white square.
Pick out the matching. tiny tea bag tag die from the Teacup Dies. Put it on top of the stamped image on a platform on your Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine so the image is centered in the die. Run through the machine.
Cut a 2" piece of the color of twine of your choice from the 2022-2024 In Color Baker's Twine Pack.
Use small pieces of Tear & Tape Adhesive to adhere the ends of the twine piece to the back of the tiny tea bag tag and the back of the cup so the twine arcs over the side of the cup.
Add Stampin' Seal to the back of the cup and adhere it to the card front as shown so it overlaps the top of the designer paper strip and the bottom of the stamped leaves. Use the Tear & Tape on the back of the tiny tea bag tag to adhere it in place near the base of the cup handle.
Use the mini spatula on the Take Your Pick to carefully peel up 1 large dot in your choice of color rom the sheet of 2022-2024 In Color Matte Decorative Dots making sure that you get the adhesive backing as well. Adhere it to the matted white rectangle on the front of the card just above the stamped sentiment.
