Tea Shoppe Caddy

 In my last class we girls made this lovely little Tea Caddy along with some other items perfect for gift giving based on the Tea and Coffee Theme.  We used two Stampin' Up! stamp sets, "Tea Shoppe" and "Morning Cup".   This was not my original idea.  I googled Tea Caddy and up came lots of wonderful ideas to get the brain sells pumping.

This is my version of the Tea Caddy using "Tea Shoppe" and the Designer Series Paper called "Attic Boutique".  The Twinings Tea Bags fit perfectly into the box and I was lucky to pick a flavour who's colour matched perfectly.

I've also used the Edgelits and matching embossing folders.  My favourite pink "Blushing Bride" was also used.  I'll be sad when this leaves us in August.

We also made a Coffee Pouch which  I received as a swap from convention.  I put a different front on the pouch and double embossed it by running it through the embossing folder and then brayering Versamark on the top and heat embossing it with Gold embossing powder.  Inside you could put a coffee sachet or bag with a chocolate for some yumminess.

The last item we made was this Tea For Two pouch which is made from one piece of Designer Series Paper folded up to make this double sided pouch.  A tea bag can fit in both sides with a couple of biscuits held in the middle.  I found this little template from HERE.  It is very easy to follow.

I think it makes a lovely gift and is a good way to use up all your old DSP......

The one thing that I would most definitely recommend to make all these projects was the Simply Scored Tool.  It made measuring and scoring a breeze and really is a tool you should invest in.

Hope you enjoyed these.  The girls had a lot of fun making them.  Needless to say we were working very late into the night.

See you again soon.

My first ever Class by Mail

A lot of you know I run classes from my home and I know there are a few of you out there that would love to come but live too far away or just don’t have the opportunity to get to a class so I am offering my first ever Class by Mail using the very new and very cute stamp set “Bright Blossoms”.

This set would be perfect for any creative girls party activity and with three sets of 4 gift cards enclosed already, I can easily put more materials in depending on the numbers for a small extra fee.

Of course it makes a lovely little gift of blank cards together with it's own box for someone special.

If you would like to order the class simply check out my Class by Mail Page by clicking on the tab at the top of my blog and all the details are there for you.

I look forward to getting this Class out to you.  I had lots of fun putting it together.

Paper Rosettes

My latest class was making lovely Paper Rosettes (or Lollies) and today I have for one of the cards we made.  All the ladies were very happy with their creations and thoroughly enjoyed themselves (we always do).

As you can see we had a play with the new Diagonal Plate that is available to everyone on July 1.  It fits perfectly on top of the Stampin' Up's Simply Scored Tool and makes scoring diagonal lines and custom made envelopes a breeze.

Throw in a few other little embellishments and you get this fabulous little card that is sure to make anyone feel good who receives it.

I loved making the little Icecream Cone.  Just by using the Petite Pennants Punch and the Cupcake Punch.  Isn't the tiny cherry just so cute.

If you would like to purchase these two punches or any other products required to make this card for yourself, just drop me an email or a call and I can order them straight away and have them shipped to you before you know it.  If you order this month and spend $125 you will receive this set  "Reason to Smile" free from Stampin Up in your choice of Wood or Clear Mount.

If you would like to make this card yourself, just visit my website here and you can see my step by step instructions in the projects section.  Keep visiting there regularly to see more cards and projects in the coming months.

Happy creating everyone
