Tea Party!

Claire of Waltzingmouse Stamps is hosting a tea party to celebrate her company's second anniversary! And of course she is holding a fabulous contest and one winner will be in stamp heaven! Read all the details here .



Using the free tea holder template, I made this fun bag! The patchwork layer is made up of Emma's Shoppe papers from Crate Paper. I also used a magnetic closure to keep the bag shut. The sentiment comes from Say It With Style. I just may make up a bunch more of these and be ahead of the game for end of the year teacher gifts!


Thanks for looking!

Candy Cane Favor Box

Happy Saturday!

I'm recovering from a super busy week that included several halloween parties! I may have one more halloween card to share tomorrow, but today I thought I'd show a simple and cute favor box I made recently.



It uses the Favor It Box 2 die, and the little candy cane image from Tiny Treats: Christmas. I colored the red portion of each candy cane, and some grey for shadows.

Have a great weekend!

Happy Holidays

I made this box very quickly as I wanted to try out some new goodies!



I used Favor It 2 Box, Tiny Treats: Christmas, Mat Stack 1 and the new color, Blueberry Sky.



Here's a close up of the front focal image. I colored the penguin with Copic markers, and the ribbon is 1/4 " silk ribbon. The pink ink and cardstock is Hibiscus Burst.

Baby gift box and card

So this project is one I made almost a year ago and I just now found the pictures in my file and realized I never posted! This little guy is already one year old, but this was a gift for him when he was born.

First up is the card using Polka Dot Basics: I, Fresh Alphabet and a Martha Stewart Little boys set.



I found the box in the unfinished wood section at AC Moore and sanded it a bit and painted it. I then covered it in some of my favorite paper from Basic Grey called Oh Baby!

I cut out some of the elephants and popped them up with foam tape for dimension.



And a final view with contents:



Thanks for coming by!
