Over the past month a few friends have been on my mind. You know the kind of thing – birthdays, exciting promotions, and 'thinking of you' reasons.
So often that happens and we get busy and life gets in the way. I don't always get around to letting them know I'm thinking of them.
Well, this month I did something about it. I made this tea bag pocket so we could have a 'virtual cuppa'! Not quite as good as catching up in person, but the next best thing.
Make your own!
- Adhere Sycamore Street patterned paper to 12×12 Rich Razzleberry cardstock using the Multipurpose Adhesive Sheets (p177 Annual Stampin' Up! catalogue).
These adhesive sheets are briliiant! Kind of like a 12×12 sheet of snail adhesive 🙂
- Cut cardstock/DSP sandwich in half so you have two 6" x 12" panels. They can fit in the Big Shot now.
- Cut out large tag using Two Tags Bigz Die.
- Place a panel of Rich Razzleberry cardstock over the bottom half of large tag on Two Tags Bigz Die, and cut.
- Stitch or adhere the pieces together to create a pocket. Pop a tea bag or treat inside.
- Decorate as desired!
And here is one of the coordinating cards, based on a class I held recently…
Tea Shoppe stamp set, Sycamore Street DSP, buttons and ribbon (Sale-a-bration exclusive), bakers twine, Rich Razzleberry cardstock and ink.
The Sale-A-Bration party is winding down; FRIDAY 22nd MARCH is the last day to get your orders in or join up with the 25% larger starter kit.

Happy stamping,
BREAKING NEWS! For the first time ever in Australia you will be able to order the fabulous Stampin’ Write markers individually, and for the fantastic price of only $4.95*. Available from 10th – 30th November.
The dual-tip markers have a brush tip at one end, perfect for colouring your image or applying ink directly to your stamp, and a fine tip at the other end for journaling. And because the markers are available in Stampin’ Up!’s exclusive colours you’ll be able to match them perfectly to your cardstock, ribbons, brads and buttons.
This is perfect if you’ve been eyeing off the markers but only want select colours, or if (like me) you need to replace a couple of your most-loved markers! LOL.
For the full list of available markers click here.

One of the best things about markers is that you can colour a stamp with different coloured inks for a complete look, as in this Christmas card. It uses the Season of Joy stamp set and Holiday Harmony Designer Series paper, both of which are only available until the end of November when we say good bye to the Spring Mini catalogue and heeeeeello to the Summer Mini!
Stamps: Season of Joy
Inks & Cardstock: Bravo Burgundy, Always Artichoke
Other: Burgundy narrow grosgrain ribbon, Holiday Harmony DS paper
 
This is part 1 in a series of 26, where I bring you different projects featuring each of the words in the big mumma of stamp sets, Life Definitions (p28 Idea Book & Cat.). This was one of the 17 free stamp sets I chose earlier this year (gotta love this company!!!), and although I must admit that some stamps in this set haven’t yet seen ink, they *will* by the time I’m finished here!
