I hope you had a good weekend and are easing nicely into the new week. We went out for a meal with our eldest son on Friday evening but then spent the rest of the weekend quietly at home for a change. We got some plants for the garden and my husband spent the time planting them and tidying up the garden, whilst I got lots of time to craft.
Waltzing Mouse stamps are going to be 2 years old on 21st May and Claire is holding a birthday tea to celebrate. You have to use a tea baggie or cup template and come up with something partyish. I decided to make up an afternoon tea party basket as a thank you gift and this is what I made:-
I printed the tea baggie template onto double sided card and before I put it together, I cut an aperture from the front with a Nesties Labels Four die.
I then stamped one of the Rescue Remedy stamps onto acetate with black stazOn ink (I hope this doesn't damage clear stamps) and stuck this behind the aperture.
I used a Marianne Creatables leaf die to provide some foliage and cut some flowers with a Cuttlebug die.
I then cut a smaller Labels four die and stamped Enjoy from Rescue Remedies Additions, and a few leaves from Tiny Trees. Tea bags in a white bag were placed inside the baggie and it was sealed with a silk flower and the label.
I had some homemade strawberry jam and made a label from Nesties Labels fourteen and stamped it with an image from Holiday Labels and a sentiment from Frame It.
The top label was made with Papertrey Ink My Punny Valentine stamps and punches. It was finished of with some net and a bit of blue ribbon around the lid. I finally took a white napkin and stamped the chevron design from Off Beat Backgrounds onto it (a great idea stolen from Kate Whelan who does it so much better), to line a little basket for some homemade scones and these little goodies.
Whew - way to mix lots of different stamp set and make a complete mess of the desk!
So Happy Birthday Waltzing Mouse and may you have continued success.

Such a lovely tea gift basket.
The window and the sentiment make that baggie look so wonderful. those die cut leaves are fab.
What a great gift you've put together. I have the balm stamp set but haven't used them yet. I use stazon on clear stamps but use stazon cleaner straight away and then wipe any residue off with a baby wipe.
Oh wow! This is just fabulous! I love it
Very pretty! I'd love a pretty gift basket like that! I've just spotted the scottie dogs too, they are fab!
Yum! What beautiful things for a birthday tea. Such a pretty flower and leaf die.
A gorgeous gift set, love the tulle dec on the jam, and the baggie is gorgeous, love that deep blue card. Good luck!
