tea time

Today I have a very special tea set to share with you.  I did not make these projects…they were a gift to me a few months ago.  Heidi Johnston, owner of Stampavie sent this to me for my birthday.  Wow!  Can you imagine my delight as I opened each piece that was carefully packaged up and sent from France?  I am still so amazed at all of the thought and details that Heidi put into this! 

My first thought when I opened it up was “I can’t wait to share this with Linda“.  And I am so thankful that I had the opportunity to do so before she passed away.  Linda loved to have tea.  One day another friend and I went to her house to help her plan her last workshop and then we had tea.  I took this set along and we had a nice time.  It will always be a great memory.  Thank you again, Heidi for such a wonderful gift and one that was so perfect and fitting for a time I really needed it!

Sorry for such a long post today but I wanted to share several pics of Heidi’s amazing talent of 3D crafting!  Check back tomorrow…hopefully I’ll have a sneak peek of some of the soon-to-be-released sets for June at All That Scraps.

This first pic is a decorated bag that held some of my DT images…check out the tiny braided handle!

Here’s a close up of the bag…

And here is the birthday card Heidi sent….I love that vintage image!

This is a box made of chipboard, covered and decorated.  The lid is kept closed with a magnetic snap under the half circle flap on the side.

A close up of the box lid…notice the stitching, the pearls, the glazing on the die-cut flowers…

The inside of the box was lined with such pretty paper….and it held truffles!  :0)

And to finish the set, Heidi decorated a jar and filled it with loose tea from France.  So perfect!

I can’t wait for Heidi to share more of her work on the Stampavie DT blog!  Be sure to stop by and say hello!

Have a wonderful day (even if it’s rainy like it is here!)

    I love these!
    Could you please tell me, I know that’s a cuttlebug embossing folder but what tool was used for that beautiful scallop border I see on all of these projects?
    I just love it!
    Thanks
    Linda H
