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 cup with leaves on it image from the Cup Of Tea Set on Block D. Ink it up with the Orchid Oasis Ink Pad. Stamp it on the bottom of the vertical Orchid Oasis rectangle. Leave room at the top to stamp the flowers in the next step.
Mount the spaced apart set of 5 small flowers image from the Cup Of Tea Set on Block D. Ink it up with the Orchid Oasis Ink Pad. Stamp it on the top of the vertical Orchid Oasis rectangle, leaving a little space between the bottom of the flowers and the top of the cup.
Pick out the matching, open tea cup die and the matching set of 5 small flowers die from the Teacup Dies. Put them on top of the stamped images on a platform on your Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine so the images are centered in the dies. Make sure the dies do NOT overlap. Run through the machine.
Mount the bunch of stems with tiny leaves image from the Cup Of Tea Set on Block D. Ink it up with the Garden Green Ink Pad. Stamp it on the bottom of the vertical Pear Pizzazz rectangle. Leave room at the top to stamp the sentiment in the next step.
Mount the "thank you for your friendship" sentiment from the Cup Of Tea Set on Block G. Ink it up with the Orchid Oasis Ink Pad. Stamp it on the bottom of the vertical Pear Pizzazz rectangle. Leave space between it and the stems with leaves.
Pick out the matching stems with leaves die from the Teacup Dies and the shorter, skinny label die from the Sending Dies. Put them on top of the stamped images on a platform on your Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine so the images are centered in the dies. Make sure the dies do NOT overlap. Run through the machine.
Use the brush tip of the Orchid Oasis Stampin' Write Marker to color in the leaves on the teacup cut out.
Put a thin line of adhesive along the back of the top of the teacup cut out. Adhere the stems with leaves cut out to the back of the cup cut out.
Place a doily from the Square Vellum Doilies on the Silicone Craft Sheet.
Adhere the teacup with stems attached to the center of the doily.
Put more adhesive on the back of the doily where it is hidden by the teacup and stems cut outs.
Adhere the doily with teacup and stems attached to the front of the card so the left edge of the doily is about 1/8" from the left edge of the card and the bottom of the doily is about 1/2" from the bottom of the card.
Use Multipurpose Liquid Glue or Fine-Tip Glue Pen to adhere the sentiment cut out to the front of the card so it overlaps the bottom of the cup just below the handle and the right edge is about 1/8" from the right edge of the card.
Use Multipurpose Liquid Glue or Fine-Tip Glue Pen to adhere the three tiny partial flower cut outs to the front of the card as shown.
Use Mini Stampin' Dimensionals to adhere the two larger, fuller flower cut outs to the card front as shown.
Use the mini spatula on the Take Your Pick to carefully peel up 2 tiny jewels from the sheet of Iridescent Rhinestone Basic Jewels making sure that you get the adhesive backings as well. Adhere them to the centers of the larger flower cut outs.
Use the mini spatula on the Take Your Pick to carefully peel up 1 large jewel from the sheet of Iridescent Rhinestone Basic Jewels making sure that you get the adhesive backing as well. Adhere it to the upper right corner of the card.
