Royal Tea Bridal Shower Blog Hop

Welcome to the Royal Tea Bridal Shower Blog Hop and to my blog!  If you came here from Christel's blog, then you are in the right place.  If you stumbled upon my blog and want to play along, you can start at Ellen's blog!

In honor of the Royal Wedding of Prince William to his lovely Kate Middleton, we are celebrating with papercrafts appropriate for anything royal and tea related. Be sure to hop at all the stops, for there will be CANDY to go along with this tea!!

I have a passion for making invitations and all things party-related so I decided to create a Tea-Party themed Bridal Shower Invitation and a matching Thank You Party Favor to match!

The Invitation
It's a tea-bag shaped bridal invitation and I just love it!

The Royal Recipe:
Cricut Winter Frolic cartridge
Grey and White cardstock
Tim Holtz Tiny Attacher
The Twinery Pink Sorbet Twine
Fuschia Satin Ribbon
I-Rock
Fonts used on invitation are: Futura and Lainie Day

The Favor



The Royal Recipe:
Tea Bags
Grey and White cardstock
Scor Board
Fuschia Satin Ribbon
I-Rock
Fonts used on the Favor are: Futura and Lainie Day

For blog candy, I am giving away a Martha Stewart Elegant Ocassions Cake Art cartridge (once I hit 500 followers) which can also be used on your Cricut Create, Expression and Imagine!

To be eligible to win, please follow my blog and comment on this post on what your favorite bridal shower theme is.
