I hope you get inspired and join the caffeinated fun with fellow tea & coffee lovers.

I used my Silhouette Cameo to make this pair of cards.
The design is the "3 Piece Tea Cup Card" by Samantha Walker purchased from the Silhouette Design Store.
I enlarged the file so that I could insert gift cards inside, so with the handle, it is 7 1/2" wide and stands 4 1/2" tall.
I also flipped the file, so that I could have the cups with handles on opposite sides, just in case I give them to a couple ... they can be his and hers :)

This was my 1st time using this design, they're so quick and easy to make, very handy for a last minute Thank You, Hello, Get Well, even a Hug-In-A-Mug.
... I'm used to lots of layers and embellishments, so this CAS design is calling for some flowers & bling, maybe even a dangling teabag or sentiment tag.



The textured cardstock is from the American Crafts 100sheet value pack.
I thought the aqua and teal looked cheery and "springy", keeping with the Blog Hop theme.
