Tea Time!

Look at this adorable little tea holder. Wouldn't this be a great gift for the tea lover in your life? I made this one for ME, and I picked the colors based on what would match my kitchen, since it will be out on the counter!

It's holding Earl Grey tea right now, one of my faves. It currently has 20 tea bags in it (a whole box), but could hold more!

Some little rosettes I made to decorate the top a little

I'm a little tea pot

Side view. Sooo cute!!!

Valentines

Prepare your candies! They could really be anything...I found a large bucket of Valentine candy corns for $2.50, and little lollypop baggies that were $2.50 for 50. They were the only things I had to buy, as I was just using up odds and ends of ribbon and paper that I already had! - Super cheap for all the 30-something Valentines I had to make!

I found that 15 candies fit nicely in the baggies without making them too puffy out the back when completely assembled

6.5 x 3 1/8. Score at 3/8 and 2 7/8 - put some sticky strip on the outer bottom little tab, and also in the middle center (inside, to hold the bag of candy in place. Cut or punch out a heart shape

Stick the candy bag to the middle inside, fold over and attach the little front flap to the underside of the front. and you're done!!

Or almost done. Punch out a smaller heart (mine has {sweet} stamped on it, and is embellished with a little pink gem). Adhere to candy bag with a mini glue dot (or two). Tie a ribbon to the side, and you're done!

I was using up odds and end of paper and ribbon, so none of mine are identical...but all super cute!!

See a side view? With the dimensions scored as they are, it gives a little more room in the back to expand with the candies in there. Love it!!

Apples Card

This is definitely not a 5 minute card, as all of those raised leaves are cut out by hand...but it was worth it. I love this one!! I've not stamped on any "greeting" yet, as it could go for lots of different occasions, so I will stamp it once I've determined who I'm giving it to, and for what. It's one of my favorites though, I just love it!

Valentine Day Decoration

Hand print Art!! It says "These {hands} will hold my {heart} forever".

It was actually pretty easy to make! You could stamp your letters, print them out, or use die cuts (like I did). Ink up those little hands (if you only have one child, do both of their hands). Cut out a heart and decorate as you choose, really! I wanted to keep mine pretty simple, and I choose colors that would kinda match my livingroom, but also work for Valentines Day.
