Yellow Teacups with Red and Vellum

After the pink teacup cards, I tried some in yellow. The note card on the left is more my style, simple and crisp. The card on the right is for a friend's birthday, and I tried to make it more in her style. Yellow is her favorite color, and her kitchen has lots of red accents, beautiful vintage fabrics, and a teacup collection. I especially like the white floral ribbon band and the "happy birthday" teabag label. I know she'll enjoy the card, and I enjoyed making it for her.

Card details:

Card stock is My Favorite Things (MFT) red hot (red) and Papertrey Ink (PTI) bright buttercup (deep bright yellow), lemon tart (light yellow), white shimmer, and stamper's select vellum.
Patterned paper is the leaf print from PTI pure poppy pattern pack (tone-on-tone prints - retired).
Embossing folders are Lifestyle Crafts diamonds and dots and Cuttlebug Swiss dots.
Ribbon is two widths of 3/8" white Offray fleur pattern.
Embroidery floss is three threads of DMC #349.
Dies are from PTI fancy tea cup (I trimmed off the saucer on the vellum layer), PTI eyelet lace, PTI tiny tags, PTI mix & mat: scallops, Memory Box fancy blossoms, and MFT layered labels (retired).
The pearl dot in each flower center is Viva Decor pearl pen, ice white.
The sentiment "happy birthday" on the teabag tag is from PTI fill in the blank (retiring 2018), stamped with PTI pure poppy ink cube.

Operation: Quiet Comfort

Starting in early 2016, most of my cards are now made for Operation: Quiet Comfort.
As explained on their web site, "Operation Quiet Comfort exists solely for the purpose of honoring and comforting America’s military men and women who become sick and injured while serving in harm’s way. We also provide support to those who care for them. We collect, package and ship supplies for U.S. Military men and women receiving care at medical facilities abroad." These packages also include cards with messages of support and encouragement ... "thinking of you, patriotic, thank you, cheerful cards." I'm happy to have the opportunity to support our troops in this way.

About My Cards and My Blog

Unless noted otherwise, all my cards are A2 size - 4.25 x 5.5" when folded.

I was making cards long before I started stamping, so for my card images, I sometimes will do my own line drawing, then color it with markers. To use it multiple times, I scan it before coloring, then computer-print it. For more on my drawing process, see "How I Draw," and also "Anybody Can Draw."

I use Copic markers (I prefer "original" and also have some of the "sketch" type), Copic multiliner pens, and the Copic airbrush (airbrushing with my markers). See "About My Tools and Materials" for my Copic colors and other tools, materials, supplies and sources. Techniques and materials may also be noted in the blog post.

I will post a few times a month, whenever I have a new card to share. For cards before 2012, the date on the post is the approximate date of the card, not always the posting date. Reference posts like "About My Labels" are filed together as 1973, but are much newer.

See "Blog Help" if you have problems with viewing or printing.

Unless otherwise noted in the blog post, this is my original creative work. All of my cards, drawings and text are copyright, and are shared only for your personal, non-commercial use and enjoyment. Copyright © CPOvermyer 2009-2024.
