INSPIRE: A Colorful Mad Hatter Paper Teacup How To

Hello Creatives!

Welcome to INSPIRE & the

Rita Barakat Designs & Marvy Blog Hop!

The product showcase today, is the fun

and GORGEOUSLY colored Bistro Chalk Markers by Marvy.

For my project, I chose to use the Mad Hatter Die Cut

from Rita's Fairytale Collection, available at her Etsy Store,

along with the Chalk Markers, to create this bright & beautiful project, a paper teacup.

I first used my Cricut machine, to cut a paper tea cup design. Using double sided tape, along with a glue, I assembled the tea cup layers.

I then cut "panels", from Chalkboard Cardstock fromCanvas Corp Brands, to be added to the teacup after decorating with Marvy Chalk Markers.

I decided to use a variety of small floral & other designed stamps for the decorating of the "panels".

Instead of using ink pads, I used the Marvy Chalk Markers to color each stamp, and then stamped upon the surface of each "panel".

I also used the Chalk Markers directly to enhance etched stamped image.

Following the same design concept as the panels, I also created a "sign" with one of the most famous quotes from Alice In Wonderland~We're All Mad Here.

Once the stamped "panels" had dried, I added them to the teacup, using glue. I had also stamped the teacup base to match the panels, and added dots of with the Chalk Markers before adhering the handle to the teacup.
