The Tea-rriffic Stamp of the Month can be used to create some sweet scrapbook layouts. On this week’s project, I used the stamps to create a border and title, then used watercolors on the images. The layout is bright and cheerful just like my daughter when she had her weekly tea parties. (Now I need to get those photos printed.) At the very bottom of this post, I’ve included a list of the products I have used to create this layout.
Paper Needed: 12″ x 12″ Pixie Cardstock, 12″ x 10″ White Daisy Cardstock , 12″ x 6″ Watercolor Paper, 12″ x 6″ Black Cardstock, 12″ x 3″ Crystal Blue Cardstock
Here are a few techniques I used on this layout:
- The Pixie Cardstock background was splattered with White Watercolor Paint. I used a medium watercolor brush, lots of water, and tapped the brush to create splatters.
- The Teacup Border was created by randomly stamping the “Teacup” and “Flower” images with Black Pigment Ink onto Watercolor Paper, then heat embossed with Clear Embossing Powder. I used Watercolor Paints on each of the images, then splattered Black Watercolor Paint onto the border with a medium watercolor brush. The image was hand-cut, placed onto Black Cardstock and hand-cut again to create the matting.
- The photo mat was created by welding an Art Philosophy border onto the top and bottom of a 12″ x 4½” rectangle.
- The “Tea Party” title was created on Cricut Design Space using the layering and
flattening techniques. I used a system font called Curls MT, so the file can’t be shared. I will be teaching this techniques to make titles like this at my summer Cricut classes.

LOVE it! How did you get a system font to shadow so well?

Thank you Cathy! This is a technique where you “print” your font in Design Space to create the shadow. I am planning on teaching a class this summer on fonts, titles, and writing. You can search it on YouTube.
