Tea Time

Whether you are making a thank you, get well, hello, or Mother's Day card this card shows a clever use for a small doily.  Also note that I chose a paper that resembles wallpaper for the top half of the card.  You could even tuck in a small tea bag for an extra treat.

Masculine Birthday Card

Here is my version of a cool card I saw while browsing in Pinterest so I decided I would make it for my brother n law.

Teacher Appreciation

You are o"FISH"ially the best!


Let your teachers know how much you appreciate them by making these cute treats and sticking them in their mailboxes at school.







I typed and printed the sentiment from my computer.  Next, I hand traced and cut out fish bowl from blue paper.  I then sponged some darker blue ink just to give a water effect. Finally, I cut slits just big enough to slide in the treat bags filled with the Swedish fish.  You can just staple the bags closed then use a tape runner to tape the top of the bag to the back side of the bowl.
