Afternoon Tea

Hello! Hope everyone is having a wonderful day. I wanted to share with you a Tea party I attended a couple of weeks ago. I was invited by Sharon, a crafting friend who is very talented. Here is her blog: inkwooddesign.com. She attended an auction and purchased this Tea Party. It was donated by a women, Beth who gives Tea parties in her home. The theme was Christmas so Beth's home was decorated so beautiful and our meal was filled with Christmas flavor. (I used my phone to take pictures so some of them are not so clear.)

We all received this card from Sharon the day
of the Tea party.

What a beautiful saying. 

Menu.

Do you see the Christmas sandwiches? Everything
was so good!

We started with cranberry and champagne cocktail.

Who's that beautiful lady in pink? It's Heather. 

My tea cup filled with our first of 3 different teas.
Everyone had a different Christmas cup.

 Beth upcycled drawers to hold her tea cups. 

Dessert. 

We had such a nice afternoon. Hope you all enjoy your day!

Tea Time

Hello and Happy Leap Day! One whole extra day to craft. What are you doing with your day? Since it's Monday I am sure everyone is working.  Boo Hoo! Oh well hope your having a good day anyway.  Today I am sharing a card I made for my niece's birthday.  Since she is a tea drinker I thought a tea card would be perfect for her. 

I used  purple and white glitter paper.

The tea cups are a die cut from Poppy Stamps-
Teacup Stack. 

Inside the first flap.

The next flap folds out to reveal two pockets.  I added
 tea in one and a gift card in the other. 

I used a cream lace for the boarder of the pockets. 

You all enjoy your extra day today.  Make the best of it....do some crafting!

More Tea Holders

Happy Thursday. Here are the other tea holders I made. You could alter these tea holders and make them money or gift card holders instead. They measure 7 x 4 when closed and 7 x  8 1/2 when open. 

The tree on the left was a gift tag and the
Happy Holidays is a sticker. The other tree is a
stamp from Close To My Heart.
 All the sayings are also from CTMH.

Both of these were made using die cuts. 

Here is one with money inside the pockets. I was
thinking you could put a clear pocket and fill it with
money. You could customize these for birthdays,
graduations etc. 

Now get out your crafting supplies and made some Christmas tea/gift card holders. Just type "Tea Holders" on Pinterest and you will find all different kinds you can craft.  Happy Crafting.

Tea Holders

Happy Monday! I was able to stay home this weekend and craft. Yuppie! My sister-in-law had asked for the instructions of these Tea Holders.  After sending her the instructions I decided to make a few myself. Last year I sold these at two different craft fairs and they all sold out.  

On the outside I stamped Snowmen and used
markers, glitter and ribbon. 

This is the inside.  On the right is where the tea is
inserted into the pockets. I only had "Lipton" tea on hand
but there are lots of colorful teas you can purchase
to coordinate with your projects.  

This is my favorite snowman.
He is so cute he makes you smile. 

Inside on the left side I added a tag/book marker in
each one.  I made belly bands to insert the tag.  

The mittens are a die cut.  Sorry not sure who the
marker is. I borrow die cuts from my neighbor
 Heather and cut away before I return the die
leaving me with little bags of embellishments.

You all have a wonderful week.  I will share the other four tea holders later this week! Thanks for stopping by.

Tea Wreath

Good Morning! Happy November to you. Today I am sharing a tea wreath/gift holder I made. It was a last minute idea and my first attempt  at a "Tea Wreath".  I have lots of other ideas running around in my head. I want to make some Christmas themed holders so I will be sharing those with you soon. 

The wreath itself is cardboard. Using round plates
 I cut out the wreath and covered it in butterfly paper. 
 This picture makes it look  as if the center is not even
 but it is....Or was it???

I glued matching pattern paper to the clothespins and 
attached them to the wreath.  I cut out butterflies
 glued them to the wreath and added some bling. 

I used ribbon as a handle to hang the wreath. 

Tea was added into each clothespin. 

A gift card was added to the top of the wreath.

This was a gift to one of the ladies at my TOPS group for losing weight for 8 weeks in a row. Thanks for stopping by today.  Hope you have a super great weekend!!!

Brew Yourself A Cup of Tea

It's never to early to start your Holiday crafts but if you are like me it never happens.  I always say I am going to start in July....ha ha.  Anyway here are a few Christmas items I made using Tea as the gift. These are nice for co-workers or friends you don't see enough.  I added a poem so the person receiving the Tea will know I am thinking of them.  

These were made with music paper I found at
Tuesday Morning.  It's beautiful paper. 

I touched up her bracelet with glitter glue. 

You could add candy or gift card instead. 

Enjoy your day and hope you get some Holiday crafts started!

It's Always Tea Time

Happy Monday.  Are you a tea lover? Today I have some tea holders for you.  I made these for my Mom, Grandma and two Aunts.  We had breakfast at my house on Friday and I wanted to give them a little something to take with them.  

I made these at the last minute so I usually add some
kind of embellishment to the pockets.  Oh well
next time....

A cup of Tea makes everything better. 

Have a Blessed Day
