I liked the idea of creating tea/tisane bag holder cards very much  🍵🍪  With the cold season approaching, hot beverages will be a constant presence in my days and I'd love to receive a card like this! You can create the pocket with specific die cuts or, as I did, with the envelope punch board , and close the pocket's flaps with whatever thread, twine or bow you have at home. You can line the inside of the pocket with a nice paper, and add as many decorations as possible :-)

Boxes realized with the envelope punch board , Sizzix Xmas dies and Big Shot machine, b a k e r ' s t w i n e and felt Christmas embellishments (Trees, Stars, Mittens and Stockings).

If you want to see other examples of these candles follow  THIS LINK Gummy bears are made with soy wax too and you can find pictures of the silicon moulds I've used  HERE For the card, I've used baby design paper and recycled buttons, and a sentiment from the Mama Elephant Stamps - Labeled M...

A housewarming card for a friend!

I've cut out a white-ish cardstock of the same width as the scrapbook paper but only 3/4 as high, embossed it and glued it on the front of the card. I've used the polka dot organza ribbon to 'mask' the junction between the two papers I've looked for house templates on the internet, found this cute one and printed it on white- ish cardstock. I've trimmed the borders of the house and ink-stamped some bushes with a mini rubber stamp + VersaColor mint green (#40) and tropical green (#105) inks.  I've cut out the card in the middle o...
