October Sneak Peek

Q Tea on Etsy

Check it out here!

Q Tea are now on etsy - remaining kits from previous months will be added here, and every now and then I will be making very limited and one-off kits to sell in the etsy shop, perhaps even a supplies sale... watch this space :)

Purple Onion Designs and Gallery

Heads up to customers who purchased either the Summer add-on kit 'QT Phone Gnome' or the Winter add-on 'Moulin Rouge' - both these kits included small unmounted rubber stamps from Purple Onion Designs, who are currently searching for a creative design team. So if you enjoyed using the stamps from the kits, why not give it a go :)

I have had an early play with September's kit, this layout features the Danyeela patterned paper, the lace and the fabric.

Don't forget, projects created with Q Tea Kit contents (all months) can be found in the flickr group Q Tea Kits Gallery - anyone can contribute, we'd love to see your work!

Once Upon A Time

It's no surprise that I love a bit of whimsy, so this month's fairytale theme is right up my creative alley - unicorns, toadstools, poison apples and possibly a dwarf or seven...

This month I am also very excited to introduce Danyeela patterned paper to Q Tea Kits. Made in Germany, these gorgeous papers are designed by Daniela Schulz and there will be a different design in each of the next four monthly kits.
