Hello! I am delighted to be part of today’s blog hop featuring the Cuppa Coffee, Cuppa Tea Collection by Sharyn Sowell for Spellbinders.
For the hop, I created two cards of the same design showcasing the Robin and Rosy Mug die set. I used different materials and color palettes on the two versions to illustrate the versatility of the set.
On my first card, I created a textured background using the Circles and Diamonds embossing folder. I die-cut the mug in the Robin and Rosy Mug set, with the floral insert, from red cardstock, which I backed with white cardstock. I cut the bird from light-blue cardstock, which I backed with white (for the wing detail) and black cardstock (for the eye). I attached string from an actual tea bag with a small staple to the die-cut tea bag (crafted from kraft and red). I stamped the sentiment in black ink on white cardstock.
On my second card, I die-cut the tea mug with the floral insert from glossy white cardstock (to look like a china cup), which I backed with cardstock to which I had applied red microfine glitter.
I cut the bird from cardstock to which I applied black microfine glitter. The bird is backed with red glitter (wing detail) and glossy white cardstock (eye). The tea bag is crafted from cardstock, to which I applied sand and red microfine glitter. I heat-embossed the sentiment in white on black cardstock.
Same die set, same design – two different looks!

The use of red makes the bird and cup just pop. Love both cards but that blackbird caught my eye.
what sweet cards – love the design on the cups:)
The pairing with the Circle and Diamonds EF is perfection. The use of the bright yellow and baby blue with bold red makes a dramatic impact! Love th grey with black as well. Gorgeous cards and fabulous inspiration.
these remind me of an outdoor cafe in Hungary, the birds were welcomed guests to eat your crumbs. <3
These are just darling!
Love the bird sitting on the cup,I had a cockatiel that did that on my popcorn bowl
Both cards are lovely!
Cute cards! I love that you took the time to make a second card in a different color scheme. The difference is amazing!
Cute and clever with the birds on the cups.
Thanks for showing the versatility of the die sets — and I like that you used the rose inset into the mug, I wondered how that would look — beautiful is the answer! I also didn’t realize how striking the bird was! Thanks for sharing your work with us!
Darling cards! Love the mug and bird! Great details with the tea tag hanging out of the mug! Super cute!
I really like this sentiment! It really says volumes. Your cup and bird are very cute.
Both cards look
lovely.

Very nice card. The sentiment says so much, even when a person might not know what to say. 🙂
The bird is a great touch….
Very pretty cards.
Thanks so much for sharing…
Jean,
My sentiments exactly and what a beautiful way to say it!
Hello Jean,
Thank you for showing two versions of the same card. They look totally different and it’s nice to see how changing the color scheme, or dry embossing, etc can really change the look and tone of a card. Love them both, but my fav is the black & grey.

Love these dies and cute sentiments! I really like your black, red and grey card- those are my favorite colors!
I like it. Too cheeky as a sympathy card? Probably. Shame though. I’ll think about it.
Love those flower details on the cups! So creative.
