Yay, it’s Tried & True’s 5th Anniversary this week and I’m throwing a virtual tea party! I am surround by boys and superheroes so this is the only chance I have to throw a girly party. Bring on the pink! There will be daily tutorials on fun tea party crafts and recipes for yummy finger foods. Also, don’t forget to come back each day for awesome giveaways from my favorite craft companies. How do you like that? It’s T&T’s birthday but you get the gifts!
Today’s giveaway is sponsored by the wonderful Consumer Crafts who donated a huge Scrapbooking Gift Basket! I love working with this company and their extensive craft website. Reasonably priced and quick delivery, Consumer Crafts should be your go-to store for buying craft supplies online! Scroll to the end of this post to enter.

“Smell The Roses” Tea Party Invitations
Materials
- Scrapbook Paper
- Silhouette Cameo
- Spray Adhesive
- Free “Smell The Roses” Tea Party Invitations Studio Files – (01, 02)
Instructions
1. Use the Free “Smell The Roses” Tea Party Invitations Studio Files – (01, 02) to cut the invitation from your decorative scrapbook paper. Consumer Crafts has so many scrapbook papers, you’re sure to find one to match your Tea Party theme!
2. Spray adhesive on the back of the invitation wrapper and glue in place.
3. Press down firmly on the entire card to make sure all the small corners and crevices adhere to the inside paper. Be careful with the smaller pieces of the letters. Not sure when I lost the little part of my “H.” 🙁
4. If you decided to use a dark paper for the invite, use a white gel pen or permanent marker to fill in the back. Hope you enjoy the tea party!
And that’s it! All you have to do now is buy some standard envelopes to fit a 4×6 card and you’re ready to invite the world to your party. Join us tomorrow as we work on the Tea Party Favors!
And to start off this week’s 5th Anniversary Festivities, I’m happy to offer this amazing Scrapbooking Basket graciously donated by Consumer Crafts! You can connect with Consumer Crafts via Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, Instagram, and Pinterest. Just follow the instructions in the Rafflecopter widget below to enter. Good luck!
