Introducing Tea Time & Tulip Bouquet!

Good morning, Friends, and welcome back for the last day of our Spring 2026 Release introductions! We have one final day of pretty things to share with you before the release goes live tomorrow, Saturday (2/21) at Noon EST. But first, I want to remind you that I will be going live on Instagram this evening at 8pm EST to answer any questions you might have about today's introductions. Now let's get started!

We have two new dies to share with you today, but one of them is the largest die we've ever done outside of a kit so it feels like a pretty big day.

First up, we have the Tea Time Die (retails for $70)! This is a large die that celebrates tea and tea parties.

Care for a spot of tea? No matter your flavor preference, you’ll be ready with this adorable tea set. This die features a tea pot and stack of petite cups along with design motifs to make customization a snap! Choose between a chic medallion and classic eyelet band design to make these tea accessories truly yours.

Our second die for the day is the Tulip Bouquet Die (retails for $36).

Tulips are a mainstay of every Spring garden (assuming you aren’t plagued by herds of deer). Their cheerful, brightly-colored blooms dance like lollipops in a gentle breeze to remind us that a new season has begun. The Tulip Bouquet die showcases a single stemmed tulip that you’ll love so much, you’ll have bunches of them popping up before you know it!

Now that I've made the introductions, let's see what the ladies have done with this die today!

Audrey's garden tea party ensemble is making me swoon! I love how the pieces coordinate without feeling too matchy-matchy. That also means that the pieces will look beautiful independently as well. Gorgeous! Check out her Instagram for more!

These ladies have truly blown me away this week. Please make sure to visit them and leave them some encouraging words thanking them for all of their inspiration and hard work!

It's my turn! Tilly has always loved a tea party and I'm a fan of them as well, so the Tea Time Die holds a special place in my heart. I thought I would make a little mobile to hang in her room. 

I used a bamboo embroidery hoop for the frame. I simply cut it in half and drilled through the center and ends to make holes to accommodate the strings.

I didn't use a specific Color Story for this, I just wanted to play with colors I thought our girl might enjoy. I used Hydrangea (she has told me how much she loves this color), Pistachio, Chantilly, Sea Spray, and Tundra.

There are two design motifs that are included in this set. They come in two scales so you can add them to either the cups or the teapot.

These colors are soothing together while still being interesting. I added bits of sparkle here and there too.

It's so fun and playful as it spins around. That makes it a devil to photograph, but it will be a wonderful addition to our home. And I really want to make more with this die. I'm imagining get well soon cards, thinking of you cards, and ornaments for sure! I bet it would make a really cute wall hanging too!

Lastly today, I have a card and bookmark ensemble that I made with the Tulip Bouquet Die.

I started by die cutting everything from cardstock. I thought cardstock would make a better bookmark because it would be slimmer profile and potentially nicer for tucking into a book.

I stitched a Plaid Coverall pattern for the card front. I used all white thread, but I varied how many strands to give some texture. I added the flower and the stamped greeting using foam tape before embellishing with a sprinkling of sequins.

For the bookmark, I sewed the tulip to a base and tucked a tassel between the front and back before stitching up the perimeter (I followed this tutorial on YouTube to make my own from baker's twine). I kept things pretty simple, so I wouldn't damage a book with bulky embellishments or ink/chalk that could transfer to the pages. I think this would make a lovely gift for a book-loving friend.
