I am so sad....I cut into my last piece of Tangerine Tango today. I know I can get more....but don't know if I can justify it when it will be gone next month! Anyway, I needed a quick little gift for a customer this morning, and the Project Tuesday challenge interested me, so I thought I would give it a try.
The challenge was to make a peek-a-boo treat holder; directions are here. This is another Papertrey set that Shawn lent me and I thought it would be cute made into a teabag holder. It's called Tea for Two!!! So very cute. I got a K&Co "recycled" pad yesterday (on sale!!) in these wonderful summery citrus colors, so that drove my color selection. I inked the teapot in Apricot Appeal, then used a dauber to add some shading around the edges with Tangerine Tango BEFORE I stamped it. I then stamped it on WW and stamped the outline in Really Rust....I think I am in love with this set!!! I just adore how it turned out! Anyway, I added a little MS scallop and popped up the teapot on dimensionals.
Here are a couple inside shots:
You get the picture! I tied it all up with pretty melon-colored twill from Taylored Expressions! Very easy, fun project! Thanks for visiting today!

This is so pretty done in that Tango color! I love how it holds the tea bag! What a thoughtful way to pass the tea:)

LaAnne, this is so pretty!
How clever of you to color Apricot Appeal with Tango Tangerine. I love that orange and you made me realize that I don't use it as much as I should. Thanks for the reminder and thanks for sharing your lovely card!! It's yummy colors and tea -- what more can a girl ask for?!

Oh! This is so CUTE!! I love this set, too, and think I may have to "spring" for it. That's really hard for me to buy non-SU! stamps, but this one is adorable. Good for you to use up your Tangerine Tango, too! That's on my "to do" list - and not to reorder. I know we'll love the new In Colors, too! Thanks for sharing this little treat - it is lovely :-)

This is SO pretty LeAnne! I love that DP with the Tangerine and the apricot elements. I may have to try that combo.
How cute and what a great project! I love the way that color really pops and orange spice tea is my favorite, so perfect!
Hi LeAnne :) I LOVE the fun design and adorable teapot image! Let me know if you need more TT cardstock, I hardly dipped into mine!
