Tea Time Vintage Cards and Tags
Hello Craft Friends!
I'm so glad you are here! Today I'll be creating some Vintage Tea greeting cards and Tags. I'm using the Tres Jolie March Cards Tags and More kit! I think you're going to love this paper collection from Ciao Bella called "Timeless Moments" you will receive 8x8 designed patterned papers in addition to 8 doublesided 6x6 papers with fussycut elements on one side and design pattern on the backside. Also included in this kit are Tres Jolie Chipboard Teacups, Lace trim, 49&Market flowers-Enchanted Petals Flamingo 7 piece, Finnibair Clear Stamp- Timbre Transparent, 3 white card bases, Journaling cards and sentiment phases Here's a photo of this month's kit:
From my stash, I am using Stickles Diamond glitter, pearl gems, sequins, Pink and White Tulle, foam dots/tape, light blue acrylic paint, purple ink, and Finnibair Sparks paint-Butterfly Spells and Distress Ink Gathered Twigs. I also will be using 2 of the small size Tres Jolie Chipboard Tags. You can find them in the shop here:

Our card bases measure 4 & 1/4 x 5 & 1/2 inches.
Card 1: I cut out a 4 x 5 & 1/2 journal card and adhered it on the front of my card along the left fold line. See photo:
I fussycut a butterfly, cup of sugar with spoon and button. Using foam dots I adhered the button on the top left corner, the fussycut butterfly over the matching butterfly images on the upper right corner, my sugar bowl on the bottom left corner and one of the small 49&Market flowers on the bottom right corner. I applied some Stickles Stardust glitter on the butterfly wings, sugar in sugar bowl and white rose on the flower on the teapot! I added some pink pearl gems on the right side of my card. Here's a few photos:
Card 2: I tore 3 pieces from the floral/wreath paper, inked along the edges of each piece. See photo:
Glue the 3 torn pieces onto the front of your card leaving space between them. See photo:
Take your lace trim and cut apart two of the flower shapes. I fussycut out the teapot/books, sugar cube jar, and tea tin. I also chose one of the larger 49&Market flowers from the kit. See photo:
I glued my flowers on the bottom left corner. I glued one of the lace flowers in the center of my large pink flower. With foam dots, I adhered the tea tin behind my larger flower. I did add some pink sequins scattered in places. See photo:
Using foam dots I adhered the teapot/books on the bottom right corner and the sugar cube jar next to the teapot. I took a tiny piece of jute cord (my stash) and glued along the top of my jar and added a small flower button. Here are some photos:
Card 3: I cut a piece of paper from the pocket watch and florals paper to measure 5 & 1/4 x 4 & 1/8 inches. Ink edges and glue on the front of your card. See photo:
Cut 3 lace flowers leaving them intact. I also did some more fussycutting of the bird, teacups, 3 small buttons, small teapot and I cut apart one of sentiment phases. I ended up not using the cupcake. I cut out the welcome circle emblem instead.You can save for another project. See photo:
Glue the 3 lace flowers on the right side of your card. See photo:
Next with my xaco knife (my stash) i cut a small slit on the top inside teacup. I slid the birdie inside the teacup. See photo:
Using foam dots I adhered my teacups towards the left side. With foam dots I adhered the Welcome circle emblem at the top of my card. I glued the 3 tiny buttons onto the center of each lace flower. Here's some photos:
On the inside of my card, I glued my sentiment phases and with foam dots added the tiny teapot. Here's a photo:
Tag 1: these tags measure 3 & 1/4 x 4 & 3/4inches. I took some Folkart Vintage white acrylic paint (my stash) and applied 1 inch around the edges of my tag. Let dry. See photo:
My first patterned paper i cut to measure 3 x 5 & 1/4 inches. Glue onto your chipboard tag. See photo:
Next layer of patterned paper (teacups, clocks and Roses) cut to measure 2 & 3/4 x 4 & 3/4 adhere with foam tape. This adds dimension. I covered the backside of my chipboard tag with the same teacups paper. Be sure to punch your hole at the top before adhering to the backside of your tag. Here's a photo of the front of my tag.
Take out your Finnibair Stamp. Using white ink and a piece of vellum (Both in my craft stash) stamp your image and sprinkle with white Embossing powder. Heat emboss. See photos:
Then cut your stamped images in half. Save one half for the additional tag we will make. I did some more fussycutting of Butterflies, pink bow, sentiment and teapot. Glue the other stamped doily half onto the chipboard tag on the left side. See photo:
With foam dots I adhered the sentiment at the top and added the pink bow. The Butterflies i glued scattered onto my tag, the teapot with foam dots on top of my stamped doily. I glued one of the small pink flowers along the bottom right corner. Added a few sequins too. I took some pink Tulle, and thread through the hole on my tag and tied into a bow! Here's some finished photos!
Tag 2: I cut 2 pieces measuring 3 & 1/4 x 6 & 1/2 inches from the backside of the Wooden cupboard paper. I marked and punched my holes and glued each piece to the front and back of my chipboard tag. See photo:
I cut a bird/teacups paper to measure 3x5 inches. Add on top of your previous layer using foam dots. Glue a set of lace trim flowers along the bottom edge. Then take your leftover piece of stamped vellum and glue on the left side of your tag. Set tag aside. See photos:
Take your Tres Jolie Chipboard Teacups and and using light blue acrylic paint, i applied this over top of the first teacup. After drying, i applied some Liquid pearls White Opal on the dots on my teacup. The second teacup i applied Finnibair Sparks paint-Butterfly Spells paint. The bottom teacup i applied purple ink. I left the handles plain. You can use a variety of different mediums to decorate your chipboards. Glitter, ink, paints, etc...here's how mine looks:
After your chipboard teacups have dried you can glue them above the lace trim. I fussycut out 3 butterflies, see photo:
bent their wings upward to create movement and applied some Stickles Diamond glitter on the wings. and glued them scattered to above my teacups like they are flying out of my teacup.
To finish my Tag, I tied and Knotted some white Tulle through the hole at the top of my tag. I glued the large 49&Market cluster of flowers and leaves on top of my Tulle. Here's a closeup photo:
You can make additional tags or cards with your leftover scraps. I think these would be a nice surprise for any crafty friend or family member!
