This teacup pincushion was inspired by one of my favorite bloggers, Kris Dickinson, who creates the most beautiful pincushions out of real teacups. After receiving Eileen Hull's Teacup die, I couldn't wait to try making one from paper!
I am absolutely in love with how this turned out and have to give a huge thanks to Kris for the inspiration - she is truly amazing. If you'd like to see the full, step-by-step tutorial, you can purchase Paper and Pixels here for the insanely low price of $1.50. It features over 100 pages of projects from cards to scrapbook pages with lots of great tutorials for both paper and digital artists. It's a steal at that price!
Most of the supplies I used can be found at Inspiration Emporium via the links below. Don't forget to use my coupon code - stamptramp - to save 10%! The adorable 'hello' rubber stamp is from The Stamps of Life by the wonderful Stephanie Barnard. It is from a set called tinytitles2stamp.

Hi Shelly, what a beautiful project, I love that teacup die and it produces a wonderful result which looks so realistic. Love the soft colours of the papers you have used. I am going to check out Kris's site as I would love to make pincushions with some lovely teacups that my Mum left me. Thanks for the inspiration. A x
