MFT Blog Hop!! Tea for Two

I'm so excited to be My Favorite Thing's Guest Designer this month and more thrilled about the set I am sharing with you!! I hope you came to my blog after visiting Toni, but if you haven't - please start at the beginning of the hop by visiting Kim's (MFT Mama) blog to make sure you don't miss any of the fabulous eye candy from the design team which will lead you right back to me!

I love coffee and I love my tea (but not all varieties, I definitely have my faves) but when I saw this set TEA FOR TWO, I knew I would adore it! I just adore the illustrator's artwork Stephanie Fizer (especially those made into stamps for MFT), and checked out her Etsy store which is where I drew my inspiration** for this gift set (for ME!) **I hand drew the little flowers on the cup, they do not come that way, I wanted to re-create her print better)

On the inside of my card, I made an angled pocket to house the 2.5x3.5 inch Limited Edition original print illustration of "I Heart Tea" (signed by Stephanie on the back 5/10). Inside the little take out box (which is a die cut box you can get at Taylored Expressions) is the mini print inside a keychain (I special ordered that from Stephanie since she did not have them in her store) she was so great to work with & even threw in a few freebie goodies!! sweet!! You can see all photos larger by clicking on them.

Here's a full size photo of the print, in a hard plastic sleeve to protect it. This keychain is adorable and this gift set will be reminder of my accomplishment of being MFT Guest Designer this month - woo hoo!!
