Tea & Sympathy Gift Tag


Hey Quietfire Fans! For today's project I'm sharing with you my Tea & Sympathy Gift Tag. I combined a variety of stamps and modern gilding powders which were all perfect for creating this tag. You'll want to grab a cup of your favourite beverage and learn how to recreate my Tea & Sympathy Gift Tag at home.

To start, you'll need a 2 3/8" tag. Using a blending tool with foam, blend Walnut Stain Distress Oxide Ink over the entire surface of the tag. Spritz the tag with water. Dry the tag.


Apply Emboss It Ink to the Grid Background stamp and stamp onto the tag. Reapply ink to the stamp and stamp on the remaining portion of the tag. Sprinkle Copper Scroll Modern Gilding Powders over the stamped stamp and tap off the excess powder. Emboss with a heat tool.


Trim the tag down to 4 1/8". Ink the edges of the tag using Walnut Stain Distress Ink and a blending tool with foam.


From the Tea Stamp Set, you'll need the tea stain stamp. Apply Potting Soil Archival Ink to the stamp and stamp onto a piece of cream cardstock. Reapply ink to the stamp and stamp onto a piece of kraft cardstock. Cut around the outside of the cream cardstock tea stain. Cut around the outside and inside out of the kraft cardstock tea stain. Ink the edges of the tea stains using Walnut Stain Distress Ink and a blending tool with foam.


From the Tea Stamp Set, you'll need the Tea & Sympathy stamp. Apply Emboss It Ink to the stamp and stamp onto a piece of cream cardstock. Sprinkle Kells Gold Modern Gilding Powders on the stamped sentiment. Tap off the excess powder and emboss with a heat tool. Fussy cut around the sentiment. Ink the edges of the sentiment using Walnut Stain Distress Ink and a blending tool with foam.


From the Tea Stamp Set, you'll need the Cup & Steam stamps. Apply Emboss It Ink to both stamps and stamp onto a piece of cream cardstock. Sprinkle Gothic Black Modern Gilding Powders on the stamped stamps. Tap off the excess powder and emboss with a heat tool. Fussy cut around the cup and steam. Ink the edges of the cup and steam using Walnut Stain Distress Ink and a blending tool with foam.


Adhere the kraft tea stain ring 1/2" from the bottom and 1/8" from the left of the tag. Foam square the cream tea stain ring 1 1/8" from the bottom and 1/2" from the left of the tag.


Use adhesive and foam squares to adhere the Tea & Sympathy sentiment 1 3/8" from the bottom and 1/2" from the right of the tag. Use adhesive and foam squares to adhere the steam and cup in the bottom right corner on the cream tea stain.


To finish the tag, tie a piece of twine through the top of the tag.


Here are a few closeup photos of the finished gift tag.
