Pumpkin Spice Latte

Shabby Tea Room Challenge #190

This week's Shabby Tea Room Challenge was to create a project using the inspiration photo (below) and include a pumpkin and glitter.

Since pumpkin spice latte is my FAVORITE I created a card with a mug of pumpkin spice latte! I used Hot Off the Press Sweet Treat Pockets to create this coffee mug pocket with whipped cream. The tag is two sided and has a winter white seam binding pull. The pumpkin was cut on the cricut using a pattern from myscrapchick.com. The seam binding bow was hand dyed and the white button is embellished with glitter. The whipped cream is edged with Tim Holtz Walnut Distress Ink and glitter. The flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts. I think it's time for a Starbucks PSL! Thanks for looking.

                                      

 

Inspiration Photo

Flower Fairy Altered Box

I altered a white box that I purchased at Michael's by using a decoupage medium and a beautiful roste napkin. I used my Tattered Angels to spray the rose trim and added little pink roses in each center. I also used Prima tags and bling, and pink roses. All of the flower fairies are from Iralamijashop . The fairy tags are embellished with roses, hand dyed seam binding, and lace.

Ruffles and Ribbons

This week's Shabby Tea Room Challenge was to create a project using the inspiration photo (below) and to use pink, green, ruffles, and ribbons.

When I see this peachy pink color it always makes me think of Graphic 45. I decided to use Once Upon a Springtime to make a card. The peachy pink frame is from Webster's Pages and is surrounded by pink and white flowers. I used a doily, tulle ruffles, a hand dyed seam binding bow, and a hand cut butterfly from Graphic 45. Thanks for looking!

 

The Inspiration Photo

Sweet Springtime

This week's Shabby Tea Room Challenge was to create a project using the inspiration photo (below) and to use pink, green and a sewing element.

What a gorgeous inspiration photo! I love pink and green together! I made a card and gift card set using My Mind's Eye paper and used a zigzag stitch for my sewing element. I cut the watermelon on Cricut using the "Just Because"Cards cartridge. I put a doily behind the watermelon and embellished it with pink buttons. The card has a pink lace trim with baker's twine and shabby roses. There is a metal tag from Makin Memories that says, 'SWEET' and a little pink butterfly I punched using the Martha Stewart corner punch. Thanks for looking!

Spring Mini and Altered Box

I saw this box at the Dollar Tree and knew I wanted to make a mini to fit inside. I love the springy pastel colors! I used bird tags from Iralamijashop (Etsy) and papers from My Minds Eye. I finally tried this binding technique after watching lots of videos on youtube. Take a peek at the pictures. For more details and photos please see the Ebay listing.
