This is the second card I have made using this pretty Woodware Stamp from OZPOM (Jayne).
My collection is Teacups and Mugs and I do have an impressive collection. A friend was visiting and I was making coffee. I asked her to get down a couple of coffee mugs and told her where they were all kept. She opened the cupboard and there was a loud gasp. I forgot to mention that I had a few. She has never let me forget the day she had coffee with me and actually saw my collection. She is the type of person who has one mug to use, one in the wash and a spare. I mean variety is the spice of life isn't it.
I have a very pretty set of tea cups that I bought in Hay on Wye in Wales - there were six of those precious teacups and I carried them all around England and Scotland. They flew with me to Canada and travelled across the country and then flew across the Pacific home - in my hand luggage. All arrived safe and sound and in one peace. Have I used them - NO - they are too precious and pretty to use - ha ha ha. My other favourite would have to be my little raccoon teapot and matching cups - enough said about my addiction.
Hope you enjoy.

Oh, I'd love to see the raccoon teapot! I have some good ones which I don't use, mostly antiques - everything else, I reckon if it breaks it breaks. And, TBH, I like drinking from a mug, so the cups are probably pretty safe. Lovely collage stamp. Earl Grey is my favourite, then probably Lapsang Souchong.

What is extremely wonderful about your collection is that you actually USE it! Love this collage stamp, and while shades of purple is usually my go to color, today this yellow / green / aqua combo really speaks to me.

What an interesting stamp with that pretty teacup and all the other details. Both cards are lovely, but the colors of this one really drew me in. And I’d love to see your collection - sounds fabulous!

Wow Helen your collection sounds wonderful. I used to collect gravy boats and jugs lol. I can picture you carrying your precious teacups back from England and around the world. Now on to your fabulous card. It made me smile today to see that you had used the stamp set. It’s gorgeous but I love DD stamps. You have highlighted it so well with your BG. Stunning. TFS. Keep safe and well over East dear friend. Hugs

OH my I bet your friend was shocked to see your collection. Great image for your mug collection. My MIL collects mugs too but she has been pairing down her collections recently.

Such a pretty card! I would love to come see your collection! Variety is definitely important. Who wants to use the same mug every day? I'm using my Wyoming mug this morning.
