Celebrating Six TEA: 3 Card Making Ideas
When I saw the Wildflower Birthday Suite, it was truly love at first sight! The timing couldn't have been more perfect—I was just weeks away from celebrating my 60th birthday. Initially, I planned to feature these gorgeous products in my Aloha Card Club, but once I completed the designs, I knew they deserved to shine at a larger themed event. That's how my "Celebrating Six TEA" was born, and I'm thrilled to share all the details with you!
The three make-and-take projects showcased the stunning Wildflower Birthday Specialty Designer Series Paper with its elegant gold foil accents and soft pastel colors. While each project utilized Memories and More Cards and Envelopes, I incorporated them in creative, unexpected ways. Want to recreate these designs?

The celebration unfolded in the exquisite ballroom at Oahu Country Club, where over 70 guests arrived dressed in their tea party finest!
I was deeply honored that some attendees even flew in, especially for the event, including this lovely group of ladies who joined us from Maui.
When hosting events, nothing brings me greater joy than seeing guests smile. I love planning delightful surprises! Since our featured collection was Wildflower Birthday, I thought floral corsages would be the perfect touch. The night before, Cindy from Zoe, Hawaii, and I crafted 70 wrist corsages—one for each guest. Seeing everyone's faces light up as we placed them on their wrists was priceless! Some even exclaimed, "I feel like I'm at the prom!"
There was something magical about watching everyone craft while adorned with these elegant floral wristlets.
A true highlight came at the beginning when guests opened their kits and gasped in unison upon discovering the exquisite cookies crafted by Cindy from Zoe, Hawaii. She created special three-tiered cake cookies—a miniature masterpiece for each attendee. The intricate designs showcased Cindy's remarkable talent and dedication. Witnessing everyone's genuine appreciation for this thoughtful surprise filled my heart with joy!
The day radiated with special moments from the first welcome to the final farewell.
The Oahu Country Club deserves tremendous praise for its impeccable service, and the tea bentos were absolutely divine—both visually stunning and delicious!
As hosts, we rarely get to sit and enjoy our own events, so having a precious moment to relax with my leaders amidst such a creative, festive atmosphere made the celebration even more meaningful.
The day overflowed with creativity, inspiration, laughter, and...
SO MUCH LOVE!!!
My heartfelt thanks to everyone who celebrated with me! Each of you contributed to making this day truly unforgettable. I'm so inspired by this experience that I'm considering making a celebratory tea party an annual tradition! What do you think?

With love and blessings,
