Altered paper tea cups

Who doesn't drink a cup of tea now and again? If you are not a tea totler then you don't know what you are missing. Tea is a comforter when you have a problem, many things have been discussed, problems solved, secrets revealed, friends made over a cup of tea. Teas come in all flavours offer soothing results when you are cold or help settle a stomach after a heavy meal.

Tea cups come in all shapes, sizes and patterns and here I want to share these paper tea cups I conjured up after seeing some inspiration in the latest Stamper's Sampler magazine I recently purchased. Every magazine they have a template and then ask you to use that template in a challenge. Well I didn't get the magazine with the tea cup template so I searched after oohhing and ahhing over the eye candy in the magazine and here are a few to share with you and the template I found if you care to make some of your own.

These can also be made into a card if you just cut them with the fold at the top of the cup but I just made my cups so I can add my info on the back and maybe give along with any swaps I make or to even just add the cup to a regular card with a little message. These would be great to trade as well or in a challenge. HINT HINT

So first of all here is the template you can tweek to the size you would like to make for yourself.

And here are 4 examples of what I did. Of course I had to do a couple Asian themes, remember these were just quick  to show you but I have many other ideas that I think would be great to trade or give. Again HINT HINT.

I hope you would like to share any altered tea cups with me. I would love to see what you come up with and if you would like I could make up a challenge page....again HINT HINT.

My friend Jeanie got me thinking about templates and many are free and online so what a great way to even make up little books or whatever you like to do.

Thanks for dropping by again friends.
