Birthday Teapot Card

Altered Glassine Bag Project
One of my favorite things to do is to alter things and customize them into something that I can turn into a gift for someone. This project is a simple one and could be used for any occasion. I made this one a birthday-theme, but it this little gift packaging could be part of a table setting, a party favor, small thinking of you gift filled with candies just to let someone know that you think they’re special.

The bag measures 8″ x 5 1/2″ so is quite a good size for gift giving of small items.

- All of the flowers, pearls and seam binding are from Wild Orchid Crafts
- The layers are from the Elegant Edges Cricut Cartridge and I ran it through my Big Shot using the Swiss Dots Cuttlebug embossing folder. The oval is using the Nestabilities.
- I’ve paper-pieced the stamped image using Echo Park papers.
Mother’s Day Card…
Hi Everyone, I first would like to apologize for not posting in a couple of weeks. My kiddos have been on Spring break, we did some traveling and of course had a wonderful Easter. It is soooo nice to be able to enjoy some nice Spring weather, isn’t it!?! =)
Can you believe it’s the 18th of April already? Wow, time is flying and Mother’s Day (here in N. America, anyway) will be here before we know it. The date this year is May 13th. I’m planning on sharing several simple Mother’s Day projects over the next couple of weeks. If you have any requests, please let me know. Otherwise, I have a list of things I’ll work off of.
So, for todays card, I’ve used Hats from I Brake for Stamps. It has a vintage, Victorian feel to it so I went with a more muted color scheme.

The card measures 5 1/2″ x 5 1/2″.

I’ve used my Letraset Promarkers to color in the hat and stands.

Of course, I had to add my favorite Wild Orchid Crafts flowers. I’ve also used a metal filigree corner, seam binding and lace from WOC. The charm is from my stash and finally, the paper collection that I’ve used is the Miss Caroline “Fiddlesticks.”
I mentioned in the blog title that this is meant to be a Mother’s Day card, but it would also make a great birthday, get well, thinking of you, etc.
If you have any questions, let me know. xx
Sweet Wee Suzy…
Hey there, and a very happy Thursday to you! I wanted to share a card that I created this past weekend that I think is just adorable. I’m so smitten with the Wee stamps that are available through the IBFS website. This little sweetie is Wee Suzy. She is just precious!

I decided to create an easel card; which measures 5 1/2″ x 5 1/2″. So much fun to make and I really like the rich rose tones.
This card is available for sale in my store HERE.
Here are some more photos of different detail views. You can click on each to enlarge.
Think Spring!
