A Gift of Tea

It is Tea Time again, my favorite time of day. I really like this cute Tea Bag Envelope file, the flowers are so sweet.

You can find this file here: Ewe-N-Me Printables. You get 2 Tea Bag Envelopes on a sheet and you can print as many as you need.

I thought this was perfect for giving a gift of tea.

 

I paired it up with this cute flower tea cup I received as a gift from a very good friend and this sentiment:



After cutting out my Tea Bag Envelope I ran the card base though my Cuttlebug with a cherry blossom folder, then I stamped tea pots onto a piece of pink cardstock and layered them up. I also added a few jewels to the Tea Bag Envelope, put in a tea bag of Irish Breakfast Tea (my favorite) and adhered it with foam pads.

Note Cards With a Japanese Flair

I have more flowers for you today as well as some Japanese papers my son and his beautiful wife brought me from Japan. I was able to play with this cute file this week which you can find here: Ewe-N-Me Printables

You get 2 different size tags and 3 different designs for a total of 6 tags per sheet and you can print as many as you want to.

I really liked the colors on these tags and I thought that they looked great with some of my Japanese crafting papers. I used the 3 small tags for these cards. I also added a little bit of twine to the fold side and a few jewels and my note cards were finished.

I made a tri-fold card using the 3 large images.

I added some flowers to the inside and you can't tell from the pictures but I also added jewels to the flower centers.

Thank you for stopping by and taking a look.

Kindness Matters Note Cards

In an effort to restock my note card supply I have made a few more this week using this file:

 

I really love the pretty spring colors, you can find this file here: Ewe-N-Me Printables  You get 2 each of 4 different designs for a total of 8 hang tags per sheet and you can print as many sheets as you need.

 

 

I used a couple of different ways to decorate these, I used burlap on a few and a cute spring embossing folder on a few.

 

After adhering some thin chipboard to the images I cut them out, inked the edges, punched a hole in the top of each one and added some twine then a couple of sequins for a little sparkle.

 

Thank you for stopping by to take a look.

Lilac and Lavender Bookmarks

Happy Monday all!

I have to keep reminding myself it is Spring, especially since we had snow this weekend. After the mild winter we had here, it's a bit dispiriting to see snow now. Hopefully, this is last of it until next winter!!

In the meantime, I'm keeping myself focused on Spring and what better way to do so than with Deena's cheery Lilac Lavender Bookmarks!

The size is 2.25" x 6" and you will get four images to a page (there are two different images). I just love the color and vintage look.

After printing the bookmarks on white cardstock, I cut them out and backed them with blue cardstock. It's hard to see in the photo, but the blue paper has a bit of sparkle! I punched a hole at the top of each and threaded a piece of twine through each. It doesn't get much easier than this!

I love the color of the lilac and lavender flowers against the blue background. And the newsprint gives them a lovely vintage look!

These bookmarks would make a great gift set -- perfect for a gardener or anyone who loves flowers!

For more bookmarks, please visit the Ewe-N-Me website here.

Thanks for visiting today -- see you next time!

Mother's Day Cards with an Old-Fashioned Flair

Happy Monday everyone!

Mother's Day is such a perfect day to pay tribute to moms everywhere -- with beautiful spring colors, gorgeous flowers and all things feminine! Today I'm featuring a couple of cards I made from Deena's Cocoa/Treat Envelope - Mom that really captures the essence of Mother's Day.

I printed this downloadable on white cardstock and then cut out the front and back of the envelope to use them on my cards. I love the colors in this downloadable -- so soft and pretty.

One of my goals this year was to make better use of my craft room supplies. I have a large supply of fabric squares that were given to me, and because I don't sew it's been a challenge to make use of them. Well today's cards presented the perfect opportunity to do so. This image is amazing without much embellishment but it looks great with the fabric square background. I simply stapled the fabric to a piece of cardboard and then glued that to the card. I then adhered the image onto the fabric panel and decorated it with a metallic embellishment.

I did the same with the second image and added a flower and "Happy Mother's Day" tag. I think the patterned fabric gives these cards an old-fashioned flair which is so sweet and charming for Mother's Day.

While I didn't use this downloadable as an envelope, I like the versatility of it. And, with one downloadable, I was able to make two cards!

I hope I've given you some inspiration when it comes to working with downloadable images. Please visit the Ewe-N-Me Printables website for this and more great images.

Thanks for stopping by today!

All you need to do is cut it out and do the very easy assembly.

 

I started with a 5 x 7 blank card which I covered with some Bazzill Basics paper and washi tape to the sides. I added the sentiment and the seed envelope, I used foam pads on the envelope.

 

You can add a gift card, pack of Zinnia seeds or whatever you like in the envelope.

Mother's Day Cards

Mother's Day will be here before we know it, these pretty bookmarks make great Mother's Day cards.

 

 

You get 4 bookmarks total, 2 of each design. These are very easy to work with, all you need to do is cut them out. I also cut a piece of chipboard and layered mine up, I used all of the bookmarks, putting 1 on the bottom, chipboard than the 2nd bookmark (Lilac on Lilac and Lavender on Lavender) on top.

 

 

After layering them up I punched the holes in the top and added a piece of twine. I used my paper crimper on the card face and a Cuttlebug embossing folder (butterflies) with some Core'dinations paper, I sanded some of the embossing along the butterflies, "trails".

 

I also added a small wood butterfly to each bookmark and a jewel to the center of the butterflies. Sequins and pearls on the opening edge and used my only Mother's Day stamp on the sentiment.

 

Thank you for stopping by to take a look.
