My Review on this Tea Crafting Product:
First let me start by saying I already have LOTS of plans for this set! I think it’s wonderful and VERY easy to work with! What I did here is just open a free program like Picasa and so a simple color edit and insert text. This specific project I did all digital and will use as web buttons and logos, but I am also looking forward to printables, too!
I could probably work a reverse digi stamp or silhouette and craft with that or try some paper piecing even.
I really like the pastels! Eventho I am not usually a fan of the color pink it works really well here and often very popular for Victorian Tea Parties – so I completely understand the color choices! I, for one, am excited to use the greens for my projects. What I did here, tho, is tweak the color a bit, which, again, is VERY easy to do in many free programs.
I think this set is very versatile! Perfect for any tea lover, party planner, crafter, girlie-girl, kids crafts, digital divas, and otherwise!

Artist’s Review:
I am creating an altered book for a friend, and for the first spread in the book, I used these two digital stamps from Floppy Latte Designs at Stitchy Bear Stamps. 
To create my spread (you can get a sneak peek of it below), I first created my collage/mixed media background using patterned paper, vintage text, gesso, Golden Acrylic Paints and Lumiere paints … and a whole lot of layers! Then I let it dry overnight.
I printed the two images onto vellum paper, and then I colored in the images using colored pencils. Then I tore around the edges of the images, and adhered them to my dried background. I then chose a quote from Ralph Waldo Emerson, and embellished with ribbon, fabric flowers, sequins and brads.
It was a pretty simple collage, really, but I’m really happy with the way it turned out. The photo doesn’t reveal how sparkly the collage really is (from the Lumiere paints). I just hope that my friend that I’m sending this book to will enjoy the book as much as I am enjoying creating it… and how much I am enjoying using these digital stamps. They add the perfect touch to my project, don’t you think?

Tasters/Crafters Review:
I’m so happy the owner of MyGraficO is a tea drinker!
Here is one of the recent TEA RELATED Clip Art Sets she gave us to work with. I have been a fan of Designs by Cupcake Cuties for a while and haven’t worked with too many of her clip art sets yet – compared to the other Digi Stamp Sets over at MyGrafico – so I was super excited to work with this one!
MY PROJECT:
This is the outside of my project using an image from this set. I have done many of these little tea bag holder books or envelops in the past and thought this image would fit nicely on the front of another one. Not only is the set tea related but as you can see it’s Alice In Wonderland Themed!
All I did was use cardstock, various paper scraps, and I had some adhesive fabric I used on the side (the brown strip on the right with white dots). I LOVED that the clip art image already said DRINK ME. I didn’t have to any anything.
And here’s the inside of the envelop or book. It has a little pocket for an individually wrapped tea bag of your choice.
I decided to use one from Yogi Tea called Hibiscus Paradise. No real reason…it was just something I had on hand and close by.
You can also decorate the inside more but I left this one blank. You could also write on the inside if you wish. I will probably do that down the road before sending it out in a swap. It’s really easy to do these little holders and there are various templates online or you could easily come up with your own.
You will probably see many more of these from me. I enjoy making them because they are quick and easy and with all of the tea swaps I do they are fun to send to people too! It’s was even more fun to use this clip art on my project, too! It did shave off a few minutes of creating time with the sentiment already in place. I like to print up a few sheets of these to have on hand – ready to cut – at any moment! If you would like to purchase this set it’s only $4 and available HERE. You will receive all 20 clip art images pictured at the top of this review! This set is a STEAL for any TEA LOVER, Crafter, and/or Alice In Wonderland Fan!
PRODUCT REVIEW: Alice Patchwork from Tainted Sweets & MyGrafico
Designer: Tainted Sweets
Where to Buy: MyGrafico
Product Description:
Alice in Wonderland Patchwork!
Nine seperate 8×8 cute and colorful Alice in Wonderland squares!
Great for quilts, wall art, glass blocks and so much more!
Artist’s Review:
When I received this Alice Patchwork set created by Tainted Sweets, I was thrilled! I love Alice in Wonderland, and this was such an adorable interpretation.
After giving it some thought, I knew just what I wanted to do! I decided to make a greeting card set with them. The graphics are large (8×8), so, I had to adjust the size on them. I used the image of the Mad Hatter, The Dormouse, and the Teapot/Teacups for a set of three.
I printed the adjusted squares onto cardstock which I then cut out. I ran my Krylon Gold Leafing pen around the edges of the square, and then I layered the square onto some coordinating scrapbook paper that I had on hand. I used some foam mounting tape for the printed images to give the card a little dimension, and added a few rhinestones to each card for some sparkle.
These were a lot of fun to make, and I really like how they turned out. I will be sending these out to some on-line Tea Friends, but, I think a full set (using all 9 images!) would make a great gift for someone special!
MyGrafico is a great website – loaded with tons of images. Check them out for your next artsy project!

Artist’s Review:
Well, now that I have tried using digital stamps, I’m really loving it. They’re not only simple to use and much easier to store than rubber stamps, they’re also quite economical! This lovely image is just $3.00!
About my project: This is a very simple card, using some left over scrapbook paper (over the years, I’ve amassed a LOT of paper). The kraft cardstock is made from recycled paper and I acquired it from my favorite art supply store, Collage! 
I printed the image on pink vellum and then colored in the image using colored pencils. It’s hard to see in the image, but I also added a few tiny heart-shaped rhinestones to embellish the card a little bit.
It’s a pretty simple design but I’m happy with it. I hope that my SweeTea likes it too!
This was an incredibly fun digital stamp from Freshly Brewed Designs! Perfect for Valentine’s Day, or for any occasion when you want to celebrate your love of tea (or… coffee, I guess). Even if you’re an “old-school” artist/crafter like me, I think you’ll find that you can easily incorporate digital stamps into your repertoire. They’re so versatile and simple to use, once you’ve tried them, you’ll probably wonder “what took me so long?” I know I did!
