I cut it in such a way that it makes an intact flap on the card front, but it could be cut as a separate border, too. Embossed using the tan mat after cutting, I touched up the embossed parts with a Copic BG0000 marker, which helped bring out the white on white pattern.
The cute Stampendous Teapot Border has survived many purges because I still adore it after all these years. The swirls in both the stamp and the die cut look like they were made for each other, and the Power Poppy sentiment fit perfectly. Polka dot hearts in matching colors add a little love to the design.
Vacations are wonderful, but I sure get to missing my stamp room. I'm having fun now! I'll be back Friday with flowers. Hugs to all!

Thanks for the brightening my day with another pretty card.
The teapots are adorable and so beautifully colored! Glad you're back, coloring and posting Leslie!
What beautiful coloring (your photo staging really brings it to life) and that swirl is perfect with the tea pots & cups! Beautifully crafted as always! Such a sweet sentiment too ... what a fun creation! Thanks Leslie for always inspiring me!
I love the contrast between the white swirly textured border and the beautiful and colorful teapots. Fun using an old loved stamp set in a new trendy design. TFS Leslie. Hugs...
How cute, Leslie! I love your bright, cheerful, ultra-happy colors with the pretty white embossed background. I especially like your layering technique, and the cute little hearts from dotted paper! Don't you love that sentiment? I've not seen it before - fantastic! hugs, de
cute stamp, pretty card. Have a great day
Besides pansies I love teapots!! This border is so cute - which is why you still have it! It goes perfect with the die cut!! It kinda of reminds me of my favorite book when I was little - Alice in Wonderland! Have a great day!
Beautiful card and I love those teapots. Great colors on them too.
Fabulous border stamp and great sentiment-love the new flourish die

Wonderful card, Leslie. If you ever tire of that great teapot stamp, I'll be more than happy to buy it from you. Hard to find good tea things - more coffee drinkers than tea drinkers I guess. Keep them coming!
Oh wow that is a lovely, fancy swirl die isn't it! like the soft blue to it, great touch! Fun tea cup border and fun sentiment! Love your addition of the sweet hearts to it all!!
You will have to take along some goodies to do in the trailer when it rains :)
What a brilliant use of the die! And of course the tea cups are adorable!
Hugs,
Lena
That is a cute stamp...I like the swirls..so pretty. One of my goals this winter is to get out some of my dies that I just love and use them again. I have a swirl that I really like. After seeing your card I think I will dig my swirl out NOW instead of winter!
Just darling! I'm not sure how you did the die edge .... I need to read up on embossing with dies, I guess. Anyway, I can see why you keep the teapots; they are so cute. And your coloring.... I've run out of adjectives. :-)
Great sentiment! Enjoying life sip by sip is also what I do when I come visit your blog. One pretty thing after another. Sunny colors, daisies, polka dots and teapots! All the things I love best. Thanks for bringing such delight to us!
