For this special blog hop, I chose to work with a set called coffee4two. I've always wanted to own a stamp set involving coffee and I'm so happy to have one by The {Stamps} of Life! I love this set and it's going to get a lot of use! When I first saw it, I knew right away that I would be able to turn it into a tea set as well which is perfect because I love both coffee and tea!! Here's the card I made using Honeydew baker's twine and coffee4two:

You might notice that there's no tea sentiment in this set. I made my own! To create the cardboard sleeve/clutch/jacket/holder, I curved the "take a break" sentiment on my acrylic block and stamped it repeatedly so it follows the shape of the sleeve and looks realistic. To create the sentiment on the tea bag, I used the t from "thanks" and both the e and a from "a latte". I stuffed the vellum tea bag with tiny punched circles before stitching it closed with the Honeydew baker's twine in place.

I hope you like my versatile take on this fabulous stamp set combined with The Twinery's luscious baker's twine! Maybe you would love to own coffee4two and some baker's twine? Be sure to hop along and leave comments on all the blogs to increase your chances of winning one of today's amazing prizes! Thanks for stopping by and have a lovely day!!
