This is a fun set that I’ve had for quite a while that I’ve been dying to get inky! What clicked was this paper I recently purchased that reminds me somewhat of the blue and white china pieces similar to Wedgewood that I collect.. After looking at the pattern on the paper, I thought a-ha this would make a great “tea” card. I ran through quite a few of my ink pads to find a shade of blue that would work, but I’m happy :-)
I used two different Waltzingmouse Stamps sets on my card. Designed to match Spellbinders Labels Eighteen, I cut embossed a matching stamped image from Very Vintage Labels No. 18 and included a trimmed version of the teapots from the Afternoon Tea set. I simply stacked the two images and mounted them at the top the card. In love with those stamps!! To construct the card I simply cut a tall panel 4.5″ x 8″ and mounted a cross panel embellished with strips of gold and bordered with the double arches border punch.
Well, that’s it for me today!! This was pretty easy to accomplish and I just love the tall format cards – I wish I made them more often :-)
| SUPPLIES I USED |
| Stamps: Waltzingmouse Stamps – Very Vintage Labels No. 18, Afternoon Tea Paper: Die Cuts with a View, Gold Foil Ink: Ancient Page – Lapis Accessories: Spellbinders Labels Eighteen, Martha Stewart Border Punch, Jolees Lace Flower, Ribbon, Pearls |
Thanks for stopping by friends!! Working on more things – and having fun, I’ll be back soon!
This card is so beautiful! My mother collected Blue Willow and seeing the blue and white has me sitting back in the big country kitchen with her, smelling fresh baked molasses cookies and having a cup of tea in those special cups and saucers. You must have sweet memories as well with your beautiful Wedgewood china.
Thanks for sharing this beautiful card today! :)
Nice card So much detail. Thanks for sharing.
Absolutely beautiful card! For sure looks like the blue and white china that
is so collectible right now. Great job!
Oh the blues are just so stunning Becca…such a beautiful, beautiful card!!
You never cease to amaze me Becca.
Love Sheila xx
you are so creative. It is fun to see the layers and everything else. Thanks.
Hi Becca! It reminds me of Blue Willow too. So pretty, so crisp and clean. It has your “look”. I would know it anywhere. You know how some brands are just known for their excellence, like Wedgewood, Lenox, Rolex, Rolls Royce, etc , I’m sure some come to your mind, well I think someday we’ll say ” O that’s a “Becca”. ; ) You’re already known by so many, but I think that God will open doors for you, because you glorify His name and you are serving Him in your generation. I would love to own a “Feeken” : ) Take care Becca. Iris, Saved by Grace
I love it! Blue and white are a favourite combination of mine. One could even say that this card, the blog and blogger are my cup of tea. Thanks for sharing. Cheerio and well done, Becca. Again.
Beautiful card, I love the blue on white, and the tea set stamps are one of my favourite sets.
This is just beautiful. I love the colors and paper.
Becca,
Your card is one of the most beautiful I have ever seen. The colors and details are gorgeous!! It’s time for a cup of tea!
This looks amazing and I love how you layered the two images. The color combo is very striking as well.
This is absolutely gorgeous, Becca! Every detail is so amazing!
Love the tall card (really shows off your art work. I’m a tea toddler so this stamp really works for me. Beautiful card Becca, love the background paper.

Becca,
All your cards are lovely but this one made me gasp. It is gorgeous!!!!
Love it! Love it. I love anything with tea on it.
It is absolutely beautiful. Just like every card you make. I was just looking at that stamp set yesterday, now I know I must have it.
Oh, lovely card! I have this WaltzingMouse stamp set – never inked it up! Now I may have to… but then I’ll have to invite folks over for tea….. more work than I can cope with right now. :-)
WOW…the only thing I can say. You amaze me Becca.
LOVE your blue & white card. I have a collection of misc. blue & white in my kitchen mostly on top of my many cabinets. Have always been drawn to blue & white. I admire your cards & learn SO MUCH from your cards especially about layering spellbinders. It brings so many options & wonderful creations. Thank you for helping all of us improve our card making.
As always Becca another beautiful card. Love the colour you used very bright, ready for spring. Dianne
This takes me back to when I was a little girl. I received a tiny tea set of Blue Willow pattern dishes, and that’s exactly what this looks like. I still have one of the little cups. I would get Mom to put some coffee in one of the little cups, and then I would spit it out. I still hate coffee, and have never learned to like it. I have other vices though, so don’t feel sorry for me!
Beautiful card. When I first looked at it it reminded me also of the blue/white china! Great card!
I LOVE that card. BEAUTIFUL
Very Beautiful! Edna
So pretty! Love the look you achieved with the blue and white paper and ink. Yes it does remind me of blue patterned china.
Love it Becca!!
Really reminds me of the dishes you referred to.
Hugs, Candy
Dear Becca
A most beautiful card with the colours of the wedgewood blue and the invite to tea —
Will look for similar paper at the store.
Simply Stunning.
Hugs Joyce from SA.
Becca, I LOVE your tea party card, and the cobalt blue and white!! So, so pretty! Sending you some virtual Earl Grey and scones!
Hugs, Harriet in NC
What a lovely card you have made. Becca you are such a blessing
Oh Becca, this card is incredibly beautiful and elegant! I inherited my Grandmother’s tea cups, which I absolutely love, [although no Wedgewood : )] and I love the patterns, but you have truly captured the beauty of the patterns. Thank you so much for sharing. I also have to thank you for all of your wonderful tutorials! I have learned so much!
God Bless,
Lisa
Beautiful card Becca, love it done in the blues. Your card if I might add has a porcelain feel to it to match the tea pot. Beautiful work Becca. As always Becca, TFS!!! :-D
Beautiful card!! I love the blue and white. And tea is my favorite beverage… hot or cold so I’m off to make my daily iced tea right now! LOL!!
Beautiful! Love the color!
Oh my but this is such a beautiful creation, Becca. Your colors are so perfect, just like some china my grandmother used to have. Fantastic card!
Utterly beautiful!! Love the blue – reminds me of my Aunty’s china!
Very nice Becca,
This is stunning Becca. I love the colors and this tea set is beautiful.
Your work always leaves me speechless. Thank you for sharing all your knowledge. I learn so much from you.
ooh, how could anyone not want to have tea with an invitation like this. love all the details. i have to keep looking back at it to take it all in. gorgeous.
Becca, this is a beautiful detailed card. I’m going to try it.
Beautiful! I love blue & totally agree it reminds me of Wedgewood too. Really lovely!
Beautiful! I love blue and totally agree- it reminds me of Wedgewood! Love all your little extras and dimension. Just lovely!!
Wowee! So spectacular! I think that blue that you found is perfect! Love all of the rich patterns on this, too…so elegant!
Stunning, Becca!!! LOVE it ALL!!! ;-)
Another wonderful creation Becca. The blue and white reminds me so much of the dishes my Gran had. I think they were called Blue Danube.
Thank you for sharing.
That explains so much and I think you for showing the video. I did order the cutters, I got them at JoAnns they were on sale so that is a plus, did online so should get any day. Thanks so much for the videos and your thought.
Love the blue and white.
Becca,
This is a Beautiful Card. I was wondering if you could tell me if this is a pieced card to make it 8″ tall. This brings back many memories of Tea with my Nana. Thank you.
That is just beautiful, Becca. The blue and white is such a pretty combination – always a winner in my book – and with the charming stamps you used it is a perfect card.
WOW! gorgeous, love the blue and white!
Oh Becca, this is gorgeous and I love the stamp set from WaltzingMouse. I never heard of them, but now I think I will be adding to my long list of “wish” items. I have my own collection of teacups and pots and also my Mother gave me her collection. This set will be a truly enjoyable one to have and use. Thanks so much for sharing.
so when can i come over for a cup of tea??? i am a confirmed tea drinker, never touch coffee, seldom dring soda. so to share a cuppa with my inspiration would be fantastic. guess i’ll settle for finishing my cup beside the puter.. beautiful card
It does look like china. It reminds me of some of my grandmother’s plates.
Beautiful, the first thing I thought of was the wedgewood china :)
Another gorgeous card in my all time favorite color. I am off to check out this stamp set!
Beautiful card, thanks so much for sharing with us.

So beautiful ! My favorite R&R is to have tea ( and cakes ) with a good friend ~ I want this stamp set so badly !
Oh Becca, you always outdo what you’ve done before. This is absolutely stunning! I love the blue & white. Blue is the color I went with in my kitchen since I had some cobalt blue bottles. I love everything from the papers to the button embellishment on your bow, especially the frames around the stamp. I just love your style, it’s just my style!
Becca:
I think your cards show such fun and whimsey. I love all the little details that make your cards so special. Look forward to more, more, more.
God bless.

I love, love, this!
Oh, this card is fantastic! The colors are so vibrant and I love those Waltzingmouse stamps, especially the tea set! I love her vintage label look, it works perfectly with your style! I only wish that someone sold the stamps here in the states – I really don’t want to order from overseas!
