Teapot Gift Holders

Hi friends!

I am about 5 weeks out since my shoulder surgery; recovery is slow and stamping or creating for any length of time doesn't work well; but I try to work on things a little at a time.

Hope you will join us this week at Love to Scrap where we are creating Anything but a Card - won't that be fun, always fun to do something different!

I created these little gift card holders, OR you could slip in a couple tea bags OR some cash; they are just adorable (I think)! This is an older die from MFT (treat sacks); I don't think they carry it anymore, but there are so many like this on the market. They could even be great on the inside of a card - or outside, lots of options, but since we aren't making cards, I didn't travel that avenue but wanted to give you a few ideas.

I'm all about using up my scraps of designer paper, so I chose a couple pieces that basically had the same colors - different paper pads, but alas, I could color the images similarly and they would work. I mounted each image on another stitched die cut circle and thought it would be fun to offset them to one edge. I added lots of shimmer using a Tonic Aqua Shimmer pen and details with a white gel pen and colored pencils. I added a sentiment strip on two layers of vellum, easy to hide adhesive that way. ;) Simple and easy - just the way I like it!

Be sure to stop by Love to Scrap to see all the amazing creations, then join the fun!

Hugs,
