Cards - Tea Party Thank Yous

The teal bags arrived yesterday!!! It was like Christmas. I made these cards for the folks who placed orders at my Steeped Tea Party. 














I started with the deep yellow cards and found designer paper that coordinated. I cut the tea pots with the Cricut and the Folk Art Festival cartridge.  I then found solid card stock to place between.  I see the darker layers would better than the lighter.  I ripped the bottom edge of the layer and glued it to the card.  Then the teapot was added on top.  I had quite a few to make so that worked well.

Party - Steeped Tea

I hosted a Steeped Tea Party at work over the lunch hour yesterday.  It was a blast.  We tasted the several teas and saw some of their terrific products.  The tea pots poured well without dripping, the tea pitcher is terrific and the heart shaped tea cups are adorable.  Our consultant was Candace Dorey.  Tea is a universal product and we had most everyone browse through the boardroom at sometime over the hour.  Find a consultant in your area and have party!

Check back later to see the tea cards I`m making as thank yous.

Card - SU! SAB Party Thank Yous

These are the cards I made for the ladies who placed orders at my Sale-a-bration book party. I wanted to use the Peek a Boo die.  I chose the Thank You from the Terrific Tags stamp set stamped in Pink Passion on white and fussy cut around the tag.  I 3-D foam layered it onto another piece of white and trimmed it close.  I chose a pink card and layered on a  piece of Designer double sided paper in Tempting Turquoise. I cut the scalloped square from the Peek a Boo die in pink.  I color printed my small sentiment in turquoise on white and stamped the small flowers from the So Many Sayings set in pink just above the words. I then cut it down to fit behind the scallop square.  I layered this element on top of the turquoise piece.  I then added the Thank You tag onto the flap of the peek a boo die.  I added a white 1/4" gross grain bow below the square held in place with a Zot.  See picture below for a sneak peek under the flap.  Are you having / attending a Sale-A-Bration Party.  Think about it!  Go for it.

Table Centre Pieces - Gold/Red Boxes

I created these boxes as center pieces for our Women's Christmas Party today.  With the napkins in hand I headed out to find something that would match. I found the gift wrap and ribbon at Michael's.  It's gold foil with a subtle snowflake pattern in it.  The ribbon was a good color match as well.  I wanted a consistent look I purchased the boxes at Creative Packaging. The boxes will be on each table then given away at the end of the evening.  They contain really nice candle holders.
