TEABAG HOLDER

Mornin' all!!! I had a fabulous but busy day yesterday full of stamping! It was Club night and then I had a class so there was lots of laughing going on around here :-) For Club, we made this cute little teabag holder - it is such a fun project to put together and they make such nice little gifties! We used all kinds of fun stuff to put this together. The background is stamped with the Belle Toile background stamp in Chocolate Chip Craft Ink, then embossed with clear embossing powder and it looks soooo pretty! I decided to use some of the In-colors for this one so I got out the Dusty Durango, Crushed Curry, and Soft Suede which really brought the colors of this project out and they looked great together! The belly band is made with the Razzleberry Lemonade Designer Series paper which goes sooo well with our In-Colors! Then, we added some of the beautiful Whisper White Organza ribbon - such a pretty ribbon! Here is a picture of the inside of the holder, which shows some more of the In-Colors and DSP as well as the Vintage Vogue stamps found in the Occasions Mini Catty. We distressed the card stock and then sponged the edges with the matching ink color and then used the fabulous Scallop Trim Border Punch (also only avail in the mini catty) to decorate the pocket. Here is another pic that shows the full project all together!
The gals had a fun time putting this little project together and yes, I did give them each a teabag *wink* Thanks so much for stopping by and if you have any questions, just hollah, and if you want to order anything you see here, click on the link in my sidebar to go directly to my site!!!
