Birthday Wishes
This beautiful card was created using several of the images from the Tea Time Favourites set of digital stamps, perfectly coloured, and arranged onto a fabulous die cut mat. Carla added a mix of sentiments from different sets to fill the remaining spaces and complete her design.

More Treats!
To make my card a little more quirky and fun, I used a black pen to add wobbly lines around the border and some die cut letters!

For A Sweet Friend
Scones with jam and cream is a welcome addition to any afternoon tea. I prefer strawberry jam, but raspberry is also lovely. And speaking of jam, don't forget to add some nice bright highlights when colouring to give it a lovely, sticky look.
Here's a quick tip:
Joined images can be cut apart so that you can add foam tape to the back of one for more dimension.
Just overlap them a little more to hide any missing parts.

For her first card, Anesha combined the empty jar from the new Jam Jar set of digital stamps with a bunch of flowers from Daisy Elements for a bright and happy greeting card. It's always a great idea to have a number of blank cards in your stash for occasions that pop up suddenly. A quick sentiment stamp and a hand-written greeting will have you ready to go in no time!
For her second card, Anesha layered the sentiment over the top of the jar image before printing and colouring. She added some soft blue ink around the edges of the jar for some extra colour and depth.
Her final card was created with a combination of three images from the new set, as well as a length of actual twine to embellish.

Baked Goods
Karin has created these two cute projects using the images from the new Tea Time Favourites set of digital stamps, coloured with pencils. For a coordinated look, she used the same cardstock for each and kept the colour palette to a minimum.

Tutorial - Triangle Trifold Card
Triangle Trifold cards fold to a standard size and shape, but twist out as they're opened to reveal a longer than usual card with plenty of space for people to add personal messages. Despite the extra length, they can still be created from a single sheet of A4 cardstock.
1. Start with two pieces of cardstock measuring 101/4" x 4". Place each one horizontally on your scoreboard and score at 51/2".
2. Working on the short side of the cardstock, score a line starting 3/4" from the first score line, down to the bottom corner. (If you have an angled attachment for your scoreboard, simply place the top edge along the 45 degree angle and score from the bottom corner to the top edge.) Repeat for the second piece of cardstock, remembering to work on the short side.
3. Fold along the score lines. Spin one piece of cardstock 180 degrees so that the triangle is at the top. See the photos below.
4. Add glue or strong double sided tape to one of the large rectangles and secure the two pieces of cardstock together to form the card base.
5. To decorate the outside, you'll need a 33/4" x 33/4" piece of contrasting cardstock, cut diagonally in half; a 31/2" x 31/2" piece of patterned paper, cut diagonally in half; and a 3" x 3" image (mounted on cardstock, if desired).
6. Secure the triangles to the card base first, then secure the image to the top triangle.
7. If desired, cut two 5/8" x 37/8" pieces of cardstock and two 1/2" x 33/4" pieces of patterned paper to decorate the sides of the card. See below.
8. As you open the card, you'll notice the image flips to the side, which means the open orientation of the card will be vertical. (If desired, decorate the inside of the card with a 53/8" x 37/8" piece of cardstock and a 51/4" x 33/4" piece of patterned paper.)
9. Complete the card by adding embellishments to the front as desired.
