I used to buy a LOT of stationary and cards, back before I made all of mine (hard to remember back that far). Therefore, I have stacks and packs of pretty cards that I never use. SO...I decided to fussy cut this pretty tea cup and upcycle it into a birthday card. The tag card die is by Die-sire, and the pretty lilac icon is by Spellbinders. The sentiment is by Jennifer Ellory. I added some seam binding and inking to pretty it up. I think it has a nice, vintage romantic look that would be nice to add to my nursing home donation pile.
One person who comments on any of my coffee themed cards by May 20 will receive a small blog candy from me.

Hi Karen!

What a great way to up-cyle old cards -- that teacup sure is pretty! Such a lovely shape card!
ReplyDeleteThat is a beautiful cup and I can see why you'd want to upcycle it. This card is really pretty and does have a vintage, shabby chic feel to it. Someone is going to be so tickled to receive it.
