Just a Wee Spot of Tea Time Birthday Gift

Posted on October 26, 2011 by apieceoflifespie

The hub’s best friend has been in his life for almost 30 years! Because of that we are close with his mother. She came to this country over 40 years ago on the Queen Mary from England. How cool is that! Anyway, this week is her birthday and I made her a card and got her some tea from the Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf. I decorated that box to match the card.

Thanks for coming and sharing a piece of “tea time fun” pie with me!

Cricut Cartridge: Damask Decor (I won this cart on a MPS Blog Hop Challenge back in August) For card, 3 inches – for box 2.5 inches. I also used the MPS Faux chipboard effect for the tea pot.

Card base – 8×11 cut in half then folded in half. Fist layer 4×5.14

Box: Celebrate it – 1st layer 3.5 x 3.5

Cuttlebug: Swirls

Paper: Recollections and Bazzill –

Punch – EK Success Pok-a-dots (I used the excess that was punched out for the “bubble effect”)

Ribbon – Celebrate It

Stamps: My Pink Stamper- Sweetest Cupcake – I also won in a MPS Blog Hop Challenge back in August! I forgot to shoot the inside of the card, but that was the sentiment.

A Hip Cowgirl Kind of Card

Posted on July 10, 2011 by apieceoflifespie

I just made this card per request for a hip cowgirl that is named Jane (hence the “J”).

Supplies:

Cricut Cartridges: Create a Critter (under horse setting size 3 inches) and Storybook (scallop) – Shift/Shadow/M size 2 inches and 1 1/2

Paper: Michael’s bulk individual sheet for the embossed light pink daisy

Paper: Zebra print and solid dark pink – Anna Griffin Payton Collection Stack – Michael’s

Stamps: Stampin’ Up whimsical lower case alphabet

Stamp Ink: Stampin’ Up Classic Black

Card Base: $ bin at Michael’s. They came in sets of 8 with envelopes.

Ribbon. Celebrations line from Michael’s.

I used the faux chipboard technic from My Pink Stamper for the horse shoe and added “bling” on the nail cutouts.
