Teabag Holder for Two Tea Bags

I wanted a Valentine card that would hold two tea bags, so I made the card below.  I used my PS I Love You stamp set.  I love the border punch I used to give it the eyelet look on the inside pockets.  My biggest problem is that I hate to part with the card when I give it away.
The plain white label on the right side is where I can sign the card when I give it away (if I give it away...)

Supplies used:  PS I Love you stamp set from Occasions Mini Catalog, Real Red card stock, Whisper White card stock, Real Red grosgrain ribbon, Brights Collection Designer Series Paper Stack, Eyelet Border punch, and Full Heart punch.

Valentine Teabag Holder Cards

I combined my love of making tea bag cards and my love of making Valentines and made some Valentine Teabag Holder cards.  I only have a few punches, stamp pads, and stamp sets (so far...), so I'm somewhat limited in what I can do.  I have more supplies on order that should arrive tomorrow, so watch for more cards to be made soon!




Tri-fold Valentine

I made this Valentine using the tri-fold method I found at the Split Coast Stampers website.


I will send the Valentine to my friend who taught with me at Kearsarge Regional Middle School in NH.  She loves the color pink and I thought of her when I made this card.

Remembering Dad's Valentine

Members of my family will understand this Valentine.  My dad used to make this little folded Valentine for us when we were kids.  I made it for my daughter when she was young. I thought of it today, and I made it using Stampin' Up products.  I'm going to give it to my daughter.
Picture one:  I have a little clip holding it closed, so ignore that.  It says:  Open me to find my heart.


Picture two is when the card is opened.  It says:  This is my heart.  Open me to find my fan.

Picture three is when the card is opened again.  It says:  This is my fan.  Open me to find a message.
Picture four is the card fully opened.  I left one circle a blank white circle so I could sign the card.  Now if only I could perfect cutting those curves a bit smoother...

Valentine

I used the PS I Love You stamp set to make this Valentine.
I made several more Valentines today.  I'm not sure what I'm going to do with all of them.  I must have at least fifteen that I've made.  You can't quite tell from the picture, but half of the heart is cut out (in the red portion of the card).  As is the case so often, the card is a lot cuter in person!

Candy Bags

I used the same stamps and the same color ink, but I did a different arrangement for these two little treat bags.  I thought I'd have a favorite, but I like both of them.  Go figure.

Hot Chocolate Holder Card

I found the basic pattern for this card on YouTube.  It holds two bags of hot chocolate, as you see pictured below.
