Description

Tea & Tidings

This design is part of a collection called “Tea & Tidings,” a series of cards featuring tea imagery combined with desserts, small animals, and seasonal settings, sometimes in humorous juxtapositions or with puns: Gingerbirdhouse, Cornucupia, Teacupcake… Each design has a written piece on the back side that accompanies the artwork on the front. I hope your “cup runneth over” with comfort, joy, and love, but also bunnies, cupcakes, rainbows, butterflies and bird’s eggs, depending on the design!

“Teacupcake”

If cupcakes were baked in teacups,
you’d eat them with a spoon,
with frosting froth and sprinkles
for the perfect birthday brew!

If cupcakes came with chinchillas,
like ketchup comes with fries,
its fur would be vanilla,
with a twinkle in its eyes,
a strawberry nose and tiny toes
to grip the handle tight
(it may share if you’re polite!)

When the cake is all gone,
the cup is still here,
to hold birthday wishes
throughout the whole year!

Eco Clearbags Compostable Sleeves

If you bought one of our cards in a brick and mortar store, it came in a protective clear sleeve made of plant-based polylactic acid (PLA) and is certified compostable and food safe (Eco Clearbags). In Northwest Arkansas where Ripples Greeting Cards are designed, you can compost these “bio plastic” sleeves through Food Loops in Rogers or drop off the sleeves at Ozark Natural Foods Co-op in Fayetteville where they will be sent to Food Loops for composting. This may not be available in your area, but you might find a commercial composting facility near you.
