Everything stops for tea...especially in a giant teapot!!!!!

I really like making shaped cards and they are so easy to do with the Cricut, AND you don't need a Gypsy/Craft Room/Design Studio! I cut this teapot out out 3 times- twice in card and once in patterned paper. I scored one of the white pieces across the top where the lid joins the body of the teapot then adhered the other white teapot to it above the score line. I always use wet glue when sticking the cards together as double-sided tape perishes over time. The patterned paper piece was adhered, again with wet glue, to the shaped card. The sentiment was computer-generated onto white textured cardstock, trimmed to an oval, matted onto a pink oval, then adhered to a scalloped oval. The completed sentiment oval was adhered to the centre of the teapot body with foam pads. A WOC floral arrangement and a bow completes the card.
Carts used:
