Tea Shoppe

One of our quicker makes on 'shoe box day' was a tea bag gift holder. So with the tea shoppe set in hand I made  a different  matching card and bag. As I haven't got the wood grain stamp I have used up some DSP from last year, quite effective I think!

As you pull the ribbon up the tea bag comes out! Nifty! I still haven't been able to buy any viscount biscuits so not sure if they would fit in this. Anybody know any other flat round chocolate biscuits that are individually wrapped?

Of course this could be blinged up loads more but I quite like the simplicity myself.

Its here again. Today is vintage day in the craft room. I have opened my artisan embellishments kit from the spring catalogue. Lovely items. Really like the buttons. I have also opened my pack of Tea for Two paper that has been on the shelf for nearly 3 weeks. I can see me using this quickly. Both sides of all the papers are really pretty.

So this is my first attempt at vintage!

I have torn and daubed in two colours.

Card:   Chocolate chip, soft suade.
Ink:      Soft suade and Pretty in Pink
DSP:   Tea for Two
Other:  Artisan Embellishments kit

Music paper and flowers from discontinued paper and stamps. Got to use what you have got!
I hope you like it.

Tea Shoppe.

Sorry its been nearly a week. Not sure where the time went!.
We had a lovely afternoon in Midgley using the Tea Shoppe stamp set. We made a card and a small gift bag into which you could put a tea bag and a viscount biscuit. Unfortunately after visiting 3 supermarkets I was unable to get the biscuits!
Midnight Muse was the main colour.

 


The little red flowers lift the design, all were very pleased with the results.

Next months theme is 'In the garden'. It will be flowers all the way. Monday 15th April 1-3. £6 Get in touch to book your place early.

One from long ago. I bought this SU stamp a while ago from an 'internet site....' I just love chickens. The ones that strut around here are so soft and fluffy.
The cardboard and string are  recycled items.

More tomorrow.

As the monster set was still on my desk from unpacking my bag at the end of Saturday Shoe Box day I thought I would do another card of monsters.

Chocolate Chip and Old Olive card and ink. The ribbon and button are out of my old stash.

Spring has sprung. After freezing fog this morning the sun has finally come out and the first lambs have arrived in the field next to our house.

The Swallowtail has fluttered again, this time all in pink.

I've used the Just believe as a background stamped in Cherry Cobbler onto Melon Mambo. 1 rhinestone to dot the 'i' in birthday.
Enjoy the sunshine..

Here it is.....   My. Cupcake Holder.  If I had had this when my boys were young I could have done away with those terrible 'party bags' which I hated, cheap sweets and useless toys.!

I cased this from www.frenchiestamps.com  a site which I visit regularly. I have used my monster set as I think it is such fun.
 Just imagine this with a cupcake or butterfly buns in. Mine will be filled when each person has completed it.

The details,  I have used DSP from last seasons big top, it has windmills on the background which are very much in fashion and in the spring catalogue at the moment. My windmill is made from  In Colour paper pack. The cloud is from the punch out of the cupcake holder as well as a 1 3/4 " punch from whisper white.
The monsters I have stamped on whisper white, one of which is mounted on coloured card and the third one is stamped onto card. This just gives variety.

 I really enjoyed making this and I will enjoy eating my butterfly bun!
