Two Tea Bag Holder

This is what I call my Two Tea Bag holder.  But you can be creative and use this as a gift bag.  How?




Simply remove the tea and put a set of earrings on cardboard and place inside one pocket.  Then add a matching necklace on cardboard and slip in the other pocket!

You can also use these for gift cards, little love notes, or Ghirardelli chocolates!  What else can you think of for these?

Happy Crafting,

Stand Up Post It Notes

Today's share are some post it notes that I like to use for inspiration.  These stand up so the person using these will see that inspiration every time they use their post it notes.








The nice thing is they can replace the post it notes when they run out!

By the Bay Birthday

Today's share are a couple of more cards I crafted using pieces of By the Bay papers.  I layered a strip of coordinating paper and then placed my clams on top.  Using the new arch dies, I cut my sentiment and coordinating background to highlight the sentiment.  On the insides, I placed a strip of the paper I used on the front.






On the second card, I just added two different papers and a strip of card stock where they join together.   

I hope these inspire you to be creative in your craftroom.  

Happy Crafting,

By the Bay Masuline Cards

Today's share are a couple of cards I made using the By The Bay Designer Series Papers.  Yes,  this is retired, but I decided to pull my tote with my card class supplies to finish using up what I had prepared.  





These two cards show off the opposite side of the papers.  I like this technique because sometimes it's hard to decide which side to use!  I pulled colors from the papers to coordinate for layering and stamping.  These can easily be switched to Father's Day, Thinking of You, Thanks, etc.  

Come back on Monday for more inspiration!

Welcome to New Home

Today's share are cards I made for my friend, Sue Vannier.  She is a realtor and wanted some Welcome cards for new home buyers. 

I had a bunch of keys that I no longer knew what they went to, so I used those as samples for Sue to insert the new house keys!  









I used the retired Welcome Neighbor designer series papers from long ago.  I think these turned out cute! Let me know what you think, please.

Happy Crafting,

Thanks, Friend

I made this card with the Perennial Lavender designer series papers using a One-Sheet-Wonder cut.  I used Gorgeous Grape cut at 3-3/4" x 3-3/4" and layered the 3-1/2 X 3-1/2 Lavender paper on it.  I then placed the panel on a 5-1/2 x 4-1/4 Fresh Fresia card base.  



I wrapped twine around the flagged panel and added the sentiment.

Inked Botanicals Birthday

Today's card is made using Inked Botanicals designer series papers.  They are all cut in triangles, and according to their pattern, carefully placed on Crushed Curry card stock.  The sentiment is stamped in Calypso Coral and glued onto a Lost Lagoon punched label.  Then I put the finished front on Vanilla card base.  



You will find this and many of my other cards in my store, Desirees-Craftroom.square.site/shop.  

Don't hesitate to contact me.
