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!
A close up of the tea jar lid…is this not gorgeous?
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!

Oops…forgot to say great post! Looking forward to your next one.
Hello from Germany!
That looks so fantastic! Love the colors!
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
