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.

Thank you for stopping by to take a look.

Graduation Season

Hi everyone!

The month of May seems to herald in the season of celebrations and today I'm featuring graduation cards! I just love Deena's Collage Sheet - Victorian Bicycles and thought I'd be a bit whimsical and create cards with these wonderful vintage images.

Collage Sheet - Victorian Bicycles
You will receive six different images on an 8.5" x 11" sheet -- each approximately 3.5" high and done in a sepia tone.

I chose two different images for my graduation cards -- a male and female bicyclist. After printing out the downloadable, I cut out the images I wanted to use. 


Starting with the male cyclist image, I backed it onto dark brown cardstock and adhered it to a stone-colored card. I printed out the inspirational message and backed that with the same dark brown cardstock. The "journey" tag was stamped in black ink and done in vintage style. The three gemstones give this card a bit of celebratory bling!!


For the female cyclist image I used the same technique, using black cardstock as the frame for the image and inspirational message.

I just loved using these vintage images for my cards -- these images are perfect for many more projects, I'm sure!!

Please visit the Ewe-N-Me Printables website for your inspiration!

Cousin Elmer Shaker Card

When I spotted this file it made me giggle so I decided to play with it.

 
You can find this cute little guy here: Ewe-N-Me Printables. You get 1 Seed Packet Envelope per page and you can print up as many as you want to.

 
I used my We R Memory Keepers Fuse Tool to create a shaker card. After cutting my card base I cut out Cousin Elmer's picture and sized my shaker sleeve to fit the image. I didn't take any pictures of my work with the Fuse but all I used it for was to seal up the edges of the sleeve.
 
Elmer's image is inside the sleeve along with some seed beads for shake. I also added a ladybug brad to Elmer's hat.
 
The entire sealed shaker sleeve is glued to the front of the card base. I added some jewels and my note card was complete. 

Thank you for stopping by to take a look.

Gift Tags with Flowers for Mother's Day

Welcome to the month of May! I think the thing I love most about this month is flowers. All of sudden everything is in bloom and beautiful colors abound.

Today I'm featuring a set of gift tags I created with Deena's Bottle Cap Images - Mother's Day Flowers. The colors are gorgeous!!

Bottle Cap Images - Mother's Day Flowers

There are six different floral images and you will get six of each -- for a total of 36 images on a page! The size of each round is a bit larger than one-inch.

I printed the downloadable on white card stock and punched out four of rounds using my 1-1/4" punch -- this leaves a bit of white around the edges, but I like the way they pop against the background of the tags.


I used four manila tags and lightly sprayed them with turquoise mist. When they dried, I stamped them with botanical images also in turquoise. To add a bit of contrast, I stamped "carte postale" in sepia colored ink to give them a vintage feel. I also distressed the edges of the tag in the sepia color.

For lack of a better word, I "scrunched" each round to give it a distressed feel and embellished each with a brad. I attached each bottle cap image to a tag and for a finishing touch tied a strip of turquoise seam binding to the top. The flower colors match perfectly with the turquoise accent!



These tags would be a lovely addition to a Mother's Day gift box or gift bag! The flowers images are so bright and cheery!!

For more bottle cap images, visit the Ewe-N-Me Printables website -- you are sure to be inspired!

Have a wonderful Mother's Day everyone! See you next time!

Small Folding Pocket Card

Today I have a new card design that has a small pocket to hold bookmarks, gift cards, whatever you can fit into it. I need to thank my pen pal Lana in Montana (I like the way that rhymes) who sent me one of these cute little cards and the directions for the card. I had already chosen this file to work with for the week:

 
You can find this file here: Ewe-N-Me Printables. You get 2 of each hang tag for a total of 6 hang tags per sheet and you can print as many as you need.
 



 
As you can see, I played around with these a bit trying a few different techniques. For more pictures showing the insides of the cards and directions for cutting your paper and assembling your card, please stop by my blog Sue's Paper Crafts. I want to make more of these but will plan it out a bit better trying to better match my papers, inks, etc. with the bookmarks, hang tags, whatever I decide to use.
 
Thank you for stopping by to take a look.

Birthday Cards with Watering Can Hang Tags

Happy Monday, everyone!

Glorious spring weather has finally arrived and is finally sticking around! Yeah! Aside from paper crafting, I don't think there's anything better than being outdoors and enjoying all the beauty of nature. I mean, what can be lovelier than all the springtime blooms?

So, with spring flowers on my mind, I decided to create a couple of birthday cards using Deena's Watering Cans Hang Tags. Aren't they the perfect images for this time of year?

Hang Tags - Watering Cans

You will get three different images with this downloadable and will also receive them in two different sizes -- for a total of six images to a page. For my birthday cards, I used the smaller images which measure 2.5" x 3.25" in size. I printed them on white cardstock and then cut them out -- doesn't get much easier than that!


I used white cards as my base and layered each one with a panel of green and white polka-dotted paper. The green color is really cheery and is a wonderful background for those tags!


After adhering the tags to each card, I added embellishments to each. For this card I attached a green wooden flower and a "birthday wishes" panel.


I added a black and white ribbon to this card, which gives it a touch of country charm!!

These cards were so much fun to create! The watering cans and flowers were the perfect theme for cheery birthday cards!

Deena has an amazing assortment of downloadable hang tags, so be sure to visit the Ewe-N-Me Printables website here! You're sure to be inspired!

Thanks so much for stopping by today!

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.

Invitation for Coffee or Tea

Happy Monday!

As soon as I saw Deena's Primitive Pantry Labels Sheet I couldn't resist it! I love the vintage look -- the scripted lettering, color and decorative style! You will get eight printable labels on a sheet and each one is approximately 3.5 x 2.35 in size.

Label Sheet - Pantry Labels 101
While these labels would be perfect for a kitchen or pantry decor, I decided to use them on invitation cards. What a lovely way to organize a get together with loved ones or friends you haven't seen in a while.


I created this card using a white cardstock base and layered it with a panel of ivory and brown scripted paper. After printing and adhering the "Let's Get Together" panel, I glued the "coffee" label at an angle to give a bit of interest. I then decorated the card with a strip of white lace trim and ivory rose embellishment. 


Of course, if you're inviting guests for tea, you can use the same card with the "Tea" label. The rose and lace embellishments certainly make this a charming invitation.

This label sheet offers lots more possibilities for your home decor and vintage projects. I hope you were inspired as much as I was with this wonderful downloadable!

Deena's Ewe-N-Me website offers many more Primitive Labels, so be sure to check it out!

Tri-Fold Card & Tags

April showers bring May flowers making this file perfect to use for anything, "April", "showers" and/or, "butterflies".

 
You get 2 different size tags in 3 different designs for a total of 6 tags and you can print as many as you need. You can find this file here: Ewe-N-Me Printables.
 
The large tags are laid out on the page right next to each other making it a perfect Tri-Fold Card cut.
 
 
 After cutting the large tags out as one piece I scored the dividing lines to form the Tri-Fold then I added some stickles, "rain drops" on the umbrella, sequins to the little butterfly and some Glossy Accents to the rain drops underneath the umbrella. I also added Glossy Accents to the two other sides of the fold.


I added a die cut butterfly, sentiment and butterfly stamp to the inside.

On the small tags I added some Glossy Accents and some twine.

Canvas and Card Set

Here in Ohio, Mother Nature seems to have forgotten that it is Spring! We've had snow (and lots of it) and so I can only hope that the weather changes soon. To keep my spirits up, I'm dreaming of my garden and flowers and was truly inspired by Deena's Printable Deposit Seed Co. Cocoa/Treat Envelope.

Cocoa/Treat Envelope - Deposit Seed Co.

The colors are so pretty, and if this doesn't get me in the mood for Spring, I don't know what will. The file comes with the packet on an 8.5 x 11 page and a page of instructions. I decided to use the images to create a mixed media canvas and matching card.


I started with a 5 x 7 canvas panel and painted it with a soft yellow acrylic paint. When that dried I glue a piece yellow burlap to canvas and then added the Deposit Seed Co. image. I think the blue and violet colors contrast so well with the yellow. I stamped "You make me smile" on ivory cardstock and adhered that along with two wooden flower embellishments.


For the card, I used similar materials so that it could be presented with the canvas as a coordinated set. The ivory dragonfly brad is so sweet and I couldn't resist using it here!


Mother's Day will be here soon, and this would make a great gift set. It would also make a special gift for a garden lover. You could easily print off another image and add your seed packet to the set, too!

Thanks for stopping today! Be sure to visit the Ewe-N-Me Printables website for more Cocoa/Seed Envelopes!

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.

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!

Bookmarks - Lilac Lavender

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.

Spring Note Cards

Good morning, I hope that everyone had a wonderful Easter Sunday. I have been playing with these super cute vintage postcards. Being a snail mailer I can always use some cute note cards and this file is perfect:
 
You can find this file here: Ewe-N-MePrintables Hang Tags - Song in Your Heart Postcards you get 4 total postcards on each sheet and you can print as many as you want to.

 
So, you may wonder, why are there only 3 rust note cards? Well, that was one of those funny, "WHAT did I just do things".......While I was cutting with my wavy blade in my paper trimmer, I managed to do the bottom cut on the fold side.
 
 
I was a bit more careful with my yellow note cards.
 
After doing the wavy edge cut I added ribbon, flowers and leaves plus a few jewels. These make great note cards for you or would make a very nice gift for any occasion and are very fast and easy to make.
 
Thank you for stopping by to take a look.
