Tea Party Invitation by Sue Fields

You're invited to a Tea Party!
To make this invitation, you will need the following supplies:
1 Sheet White Cardstock paper
Moxxie Tea for Two Tea Party & Afternoon Tea papers (1 Sheet each)
Chipboard cup (Check your local scrapbook store)
Moxxie Tea for Two Cardstock Stickers
Adhesive
2 Small Brads
6" of patterned ribbon
Craft Knife

Lets get started:
1. Cut the white cardstock paper into a 5 1/2" x 12" piece.  Fold the 12" side over and make your card 5 1/2" x 6" tall.
2. Cut a 5 1/2" x 5 1/2" piece from the Tea Party paper to adhere to the top of your card.  Make sure you cut the piece so that the flower is in the top right on the 5 1/2" side.

3. Use your craft knife to cut around the chipboard cup.  I used the Afternoon Tea paper to cover my cup.  I chose to use a contrasting pattern for the inside, Tea Party, diagonal pattern.4.  Now it's time to put the stickers on the front of the card.  Place a photo corner sticker on the upper left corner.  Then add the yellow square (floral) "Tea Party" sticker on the bottom left and also add the  "You're Invited" sticker (See example).5.  Finally, adhere your cup to the card using adhesive.  You can tie some ribbon to the handle if you like.  Put a couple of small, pink brads on the ends of the "You're Invited" sticker and you're all done!  Sweet and Simple!
