I recently purchased a stamp set from Layers of Color and I follow their blog and a while back they offered a cool template to make a teacup and saucer. Well, you know me, I grabbed onto that and today I'm showing you what I made!
The template printed out on an 8 1/2" x 11" piece of card stock. I chose white for my first attempt. Boy, that was a LOT of cutting! I used 2 TAC (The Angel Co) sets called Petal Pack and Fancy Curls. Next time I make this I'll double the handle, 1 layer just isn't very sturdy.
Here's the saucer. You can see the seam at the back and I kinda screwed up in stamping the swirls along the bottom. Other than that it turned out pretty good.
It took some finagling but I got the bottom piece inside where you don't see the edges. Not bad! I'll try this again some day. Wouldn't this be a great little gift with a couple tea bags inside??
