That first “Morning Cup”

Guess who has a new computer! Guess who has been pulling her hair out for a week, after her older computer died along with her back up storage drive? Guess who is very glad that her darling husband convinced her to buy a new computer before the old one crashed completely, therefore allowing her to save most of her precious data! Yep, that would be me. So glad to be back in the cyber universe again.

I have a card to share today! I had a lot of fun with the coffee theme.

Morning Cup

This is a simple card but it has some neat elements that tie the “Morning Cup” theme together.  The Newsprint DSP is perfect, of course.  I distressed a piece of Crumb Cake card stock, added “cup rings” and spritzed it with Early Espresso ink. The linen thread was the last little touch. I like it!

Thanks for looking!

Inkspirations Christmas Blog Tour

Welcome to the……

I hope you are enjoying the tour. If you started at the Inkspirations Challenge blog you probably just arrived here from Andreas fabulous blog!.

We are highlighting Christmas gifts on the tour, and so I am continuing with the 12 gifts of Christmas theme that I have been showing on my blog. I’ll be adding gift ideas throughout the weekend and next few days, so feel free to check back for more gifting inspiration.

The first item I have for you (or 5th in my 12 gifts series) is a simple but very festive box that is filled with candy treats. I used the #2 box die and I wanted to mimic a beautifully wrapped gift box. As with all of our dies, these go together very quickly and I simply added a satin ribbon and a quick and easy tag. Any of our die cut boxes or containers are perfect for a candy treat that makes a quick gift for teachers, co-workers, party guests or anyone else you may want to remember with a little something special.

This next item is a tea bag holder. You could use this as a simple little gift or add it as a tag to a special mug, tea pot or box of someone’s favorite specialty tea.


The tea bags are tucked into a stamped glassine bag and tied inside the card.

I printed a fun little poem on the back of the tea bag holder. This would be perfect to tuck into the card of someone dear who won’t be home for the holiday.
