Last week I hosted my 4th Downton Abbey Tea & Crafts Night, and all attendees received the Artisan Embellishment Kit (from the Occasions Catalog) in their project kit for the night. It was the perfect bag of elegant goodies to make our decidedly feminine stamping projects for the event. My Downton Abbey Tea & Craft Nights combine two of my passions: all things English and stamping! Having spent 9 years living in England and being a from-scratch cook my entire life means that I love hosting teas with all the fun, frilly cakes, tea sandwiches, savories, and proper pots of tea served in china cups. This event is one that truly touches my heart:) OK, on to the projects!
We made 5 handstamped projects, each one incorporating the Artisan Embellishment Kit from the Occasions Catalog. The first 2, the Calypso Coral pair, were the quick and easy projects of the night. The bottom one is a no-stamping card! But we did get some ink on it:) Later this week, I'll show the remaining 3 projects from my Downton Abbey Tea & Crafts Night, the first for 2015…but not the last!
The Artisan Embellishment Kit has doilies, fancy buttons and resin roses, the scrummy, soft peach rose trim, doilies, rose red lace trim, and skinny blackberry velvet ribbon. Elegant goodies for crafting fun! And for just $9.95, it's an amazing value.
Here is the Stampin' Up! supplies list. Click on the photo of any item to get a full description and also to be transported to my online store! Gotta love technology:)
SAVE THE DATE for my next installment of Downton Abbey Tea & Crafts: June 4th. It will be worth waiting for! Along with fabulous teas and treats, gorgeous stamping projects, and the company of fine women, there may be an appearance of Carson, the butler from the blockbuster series Downton Abbey! Save the date and stay tuned!
