Look's Like It's Tea Time!

Hi There Crafty Friends!!!

This is the first project I've done since being selected as a Junior Design Team Member for Getting Cricky!!! I absolutely LOVE her stamps, did I mention that they are made in the USA and Kristal donates $1 from each set to charity!  More importantly I LOVE how kind and generous and the wonderful person that Kristal is!

I made 2 projects to enter into the current Simply Sunday Challenge which is to create something with a hot beverage!! While I'm not a coffee drinker, I do ocassionally like to partake in a nice hot cup of tea. My latest tea indulgence has been peppermint tea!!! I love all things mint and when I found this tea, while sick and grocery shopping, I discovered that it was a match made in heaven,. LOL!!!

Well enough of my babbling about mint tea, of all things, here are my projects!

I think this card definitely reminds me so much of a perfect autumn day drinking a cup of tea. What do you think? The solid paper is Recollections and the patterned papers are from a DCWV autumn stack that I got on clearance last year. The sentiment is from K. Andrews Designs- Coffee & Tea for You & Me

The coffee up and plate are cut from the Smiley Cards cart and I welded the steam from Winter Frolic

Here is a close up of the sentiment. I think this is absolutely perfect! I am planning on virtually sharing this with my close gal pals, because we are definitely the perfect blend! :)

Since I was really feeling the tea-bug, I couldn't stop at just making this card. I've really been dying to make a gift card holder and was able to find a great tutorial on how to make one at Jan's Stamping Creations. After looking at her tutorial I just had to give it a try. I am so happy with how this turned out. See for yourself!

This is the holder completed. The butterfly is from K. Andrew Designs- Winged Things and the sentiment is from the Coffeee & Tea for You & Me set.

Here it is again with a gift card in the second pocket

This is the insert in the 1st pocket that can be used for a message/note. The scrolls are from the K. Andrew Designs - Winter Wishes set

And here it is with nothing in it.

Well that's all I have for today. Thanks so much for stopping by and I hope that you have enjoyed what you have seen. Be sure to stop by again real soon to see what other crafty things I have up my sleeves!

Until Next Time...

Birthday Wishes for a Very Special Lady

Greetings Crafty Friends,

I'm back again to share yet another creation. As many know I am very much into making cards and I'm finding that lately my inspiration has been to make some Cricut-less cards. This card is one of those and it was also my 2nd time trying a gate-fold style! I LOVED making this card. I thought it was so very easy to put together and absolutely fun to make! Did I mention that I made it for my wonderful and amazing grandmother. She is my role model and someone that I absolutely admire. She does so much for everyone in our family and never gets the attention that she deserves. So in honor of her and her birthday, I cooked her dinner brought it to her house and served her, which I'm so surprised that she actually allowed me to do! :) It was a fun night and something that not only she needed but I needed to spend the time with her and my grandfather as well. It is a memory that I will NEVER forget!

Now on to the simple yet elegant card that I made for her!

Her favorite color is purple so I had to be sure that I implemented it into the card somehow. I think I did a good job of that! LOL

The stamps were mixed and matched from two of the K. Andrews Design sets, Winter Wishes & Coffee and Tea for You and Me

The inside sentiment is by My Pink Stamper

Thanks so much for stopping by! I hope you have enjoyed what you have seen today! Stop back again soon to see what I've been up to!

Until Next Time...
